Yes I’m a big proponent of stateless stuff. In fact 20 years ago I was crowing this to a deaf audience. Instead I find queues in databases that didn’t even need to exist. And our solutions, kubernetes for example, are complicated Rube Goldberg machines rather than things that make us sleep easy.
However really the software industry is all about state and where to keep it because that’s where the trolls collect their gold coins.
So what can we do?
- codeduck 6y agoI find gin helps to numb the pain...
- simiones 6y agoSo where would a queue go in a distributed system if not in some kind of database/file system? How do you handle resilience if the queue is not stored on disk somewhere? Paxos?
- m0xte 6y agoWell the point is more that a lot of stuff doesn't even need to be in a queue. It's just cookie cutter engineering. "I did this before and it worked so I'll do it again" without any consideration on what it does and why it does it.
