Do you want to expand on that? Because having a single point of failure certainly seems like a horrible practice when that single point goes down.

- andrewmcwatters 2y agoYou’re already talking to stateful systems to do anything meaningful. A in-memory cache on top of session retrieval is so trivial and adds so few microseconds that it’s imperceptible even at large volumes of traffic. If you’re having trouble with that, you’ve got bigger issues. Any regular work queries will take longer, and so it’s not even a meaningful area of concern if you broke down a request from end to end on a flame graph.
- mynameisvlad 2y ago> You’re already talking to stateful systems to do anything meaningful. Yeah, so? They don’t have to be talking to the same system, and in fact it was literally what you called bullshit to originally. > If you’re having trouble with that, you’ve got bigger issues. That does absolutely nothing to changing the fact that a SPoF is still an anti-pattern that should be avoided. For that matter… > A in-memory cache on top of session retrieval is so trivial and adds so few microseconds that it’s imperceptible even at large volumes of traffic. Also does absolutely nothing to change that fact. You have done nothing to actually elaborate on why it’s totally not a horrendous idea to have everything communicate to the same database. Just because there’s a caching layer does not mean that fresh data wouldn’t be available if a SPoF goes down, which, once again, is the whole point here.
- andrewmcwatters 2y ago> That does absolutely nothing to changing the fact that a SPoF is still an anti-pattern that should be avoided. This statement that doesn't mean anything.
- mynameisvlad 2y agoYou keep on saying this without actually backing it up with anything. If you want people to believe what you say, you have to actually explain why you think something. Just saying it does not somehow make it true.
- andrewmcwatters 2y agoStop talking, you're annoying.
- DEADMINCE 2y agoHe isn't. It's certainly annoying to see someone continually dodge supporting a claim they made though.
- SgtBastard 2y agoWhat an incredibly impolite way to respond to someone who is trying to tease out the point you continually failed to make. Be better.
