An old Unix admin mentor of mine always said to "do the simplest thing that works properly". I've always tried to do this and it's great advice.

- bsenftner 8y agoThat advice is gold. I follow it too. Currently in beta with a C++ application that has its own web server, video encode/decode, and NSA quality FR - all in a 10MB executable with a 200MB run-time foot print. This single application removes the requirement for separate video encode/decode, video serving, REST API serving, and all DB needs. And it runs exponentially faster than what it replaces, while being happy on a single box, anything from an Intel Compute Stick to you name it heavy iron server. I like to say "the infrastructure is inside, nothing else is needed."
