In Discord’s defense, their product’s scope and userbase has increased orders of magnitude over just a few years. Setting language choice aside, one would expect several rewrites of core code and infra over this time.
- silentsea90 6y agoMy intention was to not set the language choice aside, especially where rewrites are squarely targeted at migrating to a different language. Rewrites of services to decomp into different services, migrate to different datastores to scale up etc. is completely justified and is a good problem to have.
