I'm somewhat skeptical of Wix's engineering principles in general. Back in 2015 they released an article[0] about using MySQL as a better NoSQL database and talked about how joins are bad for latency, and then their example of a "fast query" used a subquery which was the same as to joining the two tables. Did they not realise that the queries would be equivalent?

(CTRL-F 'high throughput and low latency' for the query)
- hihihihi1234 5y agoI'm skeptical of Wix's engineering principles because I've used their product and it's hot garbage, or at least it was 10 years ago. (I'd forgotten Wix existed.)
