the point is the developer audience that is just coming out of college...will not be familiar with postgres.
they would make most of their applications saving data via "Durable Objects" on the edge. Someone just built Kafka using Durable Objects.
Not arguing that DO is better that postgresql. I'm arguing that a lot of the developers wont realise that. Because the DX of durable objects is superior.
- llamaLord 4y ago*groans* is this another new name for an old thing? I know I could just Google it, but wtf is a durable object? It sounds like a json file… is it a json file? C’mon, tell me it’s NOT just a json file…
- skybrian 4y agoIt's a sharded key-value store with stored procedures written in JavaScript.
- llamaLord 4y agoC'mon - lets not wrap it up in all that, be real. It's a JSON object and a few JS functions passed as arguments to a class constructor. I'm not saying it isn't an elegant design, but can we pls not talk about proprietary implementations of a particular design pattern as if they're some kind of industry standard?
- skybrian 4y agoYou're getting the data format confused with the database engine. Yes, a database might just be storing JSON, but how it's stored and replicated matters.
