Similarly there is https://hyperswitch.io https://hyperswitch.io open source written in Rust.
Lago is written in Ruby.
I found few other open source billing systems written in Java.
Anyone knows anything written in nodeJS?
- Alifatisk 3y agoWhy does the language the service is built upon matter? I won’t directly interact with Stripe or Lagons codebase.
- fragmede 3y agoNo, but an API is a leaky abstraction. you'll notice slowness, you'll encounter bugs, you'll see shortcomings in the data model used. All of those flow from the choice of language used on the backend. I'm not claiming that any one language is better than another, just that the leaky abstraction means the choice of language will have user-facing consequences.
- Alifatisk 3y agoOhhh okey
- rrr_oh_man 3y ago> you'll see shortcomings in the data model used Betting you a case of beer I can write a horrible data model in any language
- fragmede 3y agoand I say you win that bet. but that horribleness will be influenced by the underlying language is my point
- giorgioz 3y agoI'm a fullstack JavaScript developer. I'm not too fluent in Rust and Ruby. I would be more efficient poking and hacking a nodeJS codebase. If I treat the whole codebase as a black box there is no advantage for me in using an open source project.
