Oh my god. This checks off all the boxes for companies I would never work at.
Starting with this nugget:
>Our gateway is on the frontline of our infrastructure. It >receives thousands of request per day.
LOL! Wat???!!! Thousands of requests per day. Thousands. Not per hour or per second. Per day.
Call out the big guns, people! We need cutting edge enterprise-scale architecture! A boring rails app or a flask app will never be able to handle this kind of scale!!
I don't even need to go farther down the checklist than that. You're putting all of that complexity and infrastructure and problems-waiting-to-happen behind an API that serves thousands of requests per day.
Yeah, I'd rather be homeless than work on that team. Jesus.
- mythrwy 9y agoShhh... 3 guys and Flask app don't employee as many people as a large team drawing diagrams on whiteboards and working on "infrastructure". Next you are going to be criticizing 3GB big data databases with dedicated sys admins. Sometimes I wonder how much of this is some type of "jobs program". A transfer of money from the financial sector back to the grunt sector via VC.
- rpcope1 9y ago3GB database might even still be appropriate SQLite territory, especially if you're not super write heavy. :)
