- 5e92cb50239222b 5y agoI don't see anything impressive TBH. Looks like a simple list of order events from their message bus or something.
- dillondoyle 5y agoyeah but at their scale... Google says they might use Kafka. So idk personally as a non expert in that I would totally read a blog post about generally how they put it together, what the scale of people accessing the live map is
- matchagaucho 5y agoGreat tip! I wondered if the globe might be a looped animation, until I saw that easter egg. Impressive.
- Dave3of5 5y agoIt's funny how it links to their jobs. I've applied to companies like this in the past the likelihood of you even receiving a reply is close to zero.
- dillondoyle 5y agoOh that's a bummer. A bunch of companies do it. I always like to check out cool things like this try to learn something / see what they did! Makes me feel very Hackers I'm going to hack the planet as I copy paste view source. But hey, that's how Mr Robot learned ;)
- joshspankit 5y agoSuch a strange trend. On the surface it feels like “we’re so interested in your curiosity that we want to offer you a job”, but in reality it’s more like a very subtle marketing campaign designed to boost brand awareness. So curious how the internal conversations go when these are proposed, and why they are all so similar.
