Article has so much fluff and only some very coarse information like (we sharded writes, yay!). Almost no detail just keywords for SEO, or whatever they’re aiming for.
There’s also a lot of repetition. Maybe it was AI generated…?
- PUSH_AX 9mo agoCould even be seen as a disguised ad for their infrastructure partner too.
- jll29 9mo agoYeah, right - when PostgreSQL starts to struggle, Microsoft Azure CosmoDB[tm] comes to the rescue (mentioned 3x).
- embedding-shape 9mo agoThose sort of articles suck big time. I remember coming across an article from NYCMesh which looked interesting ("Administrating the Mesh" - https://www.nycmesh.net/blog/datadog/ https://www.nycmesh.net/blog/datadog/) which made sense all the way until they put Datadog on top of everything, and I asked myself: > What the hell, how is using a centralized service for managing a decentralized mesh a suitable solution? Did the author get employed by Datadog or what happened? Then I got curious and lo and behold; the author was indeed hired by Datadog (and still works there AFAIK), effectively compromising the entire article and the project itself, because of their new employer.
