Derby and Meteor
- cnlwsu 14y agoIs there a cached version? I cannot access it.
- switz 14y agoHere's a cached version: http://www.readability.com/articles/aobhl7io http://www.readability.com/articles/aobhl7io
- justizin 14y agoI wonder which of Derby or Meteor was used to build that site which has been down all day. :-P
- lefnire 14y agoThat would be Drupal. Nail on the coffin. I'll be switching to Jekyll + Github Pages sooner than later.
- KaoruAoiShiho 14y agoJust need to set up caching. No reason not to. Edit: Static caching. Edit2: Wow, well, :(. Glad I'm out of that world now though.
- lefnire 14y agoBut I did :( Edit: Even using Boost
- lefnire 14y agoYeah - I had a previous post that was successful on HackerNews. Brought the site down, so I took it offline, enabled aggressive & static caching (was previously normal caching), as well as Boost. Imported database to prod, restarted - mostly fixed it, but had to boost my RAM to 1GB, then it survived the rest of the storm. With this happening again, at small 13 points for this post, I'm the same as you - glad to be out of that world.
- minimaxir 14y agoI recommend looking into Cloudflare. Even the free plan can handle HN spikes.
- paulgb 14y agoSince you're into the node world already, check out docpad (https://github.com/bevry/docpad https://github.com/bevry/docpad) instead of Jekyll. It doesn't have the same GitHub integration unfortunately, but it can still be hosted in a gh-pages branch.
- lefnire 14y agoYou're the second to recommend docpad in lieu, I'll give it a whirl
- KaoruAoiShiho 14y agoProbably PHP heh.
- KaoruAoiShiho 14y agoHave you checked out firebase? What do you think about Firebase+Angular?
- lefnire 14y agoOoo, checking that out now. Parse alternative? http://www.quora.com/Firebase/How-does-Firebase-differ-from-Parse http://www.quora.com/Firebase/How-does-Firebase-differ-from-...
- KaoruAoiShiho 14y agoNo, the key difference is that it's real time. It supplants Meteor's mongodb/minimongo syncing and its authentication system. The only thing it lacks is a client layer. But for me that's a feature because in the past 2 years lots of reliable client side stacks have popped up, and both derby and meteor's custom client stack are disgusting. I've been using Meteor but I'm thinking about abandoning it in favor of firebase/angular. Edit: can you show us a cached link to your derby vs Meteor comparison please.

- lefnire 14y agoKaoruAoiShiho, I'm really liking the look of this Firebase. Are you yourself set on Angular as the client? I feel inclined towards your opinions: a man who comes from Drupal, uses Meteor, with an eye on Angular, obviously knows what he's talking about ;)
- KaoruAoiShiho 14y agoI'm not necessarily set on Angular but I've used Backbone professionally for over a year but it's out of the question now. The other one is emberjs which I haven't played much with but all the literature on the internet that I can find supports angular over ember. I've also reviewed the ember docs and they make several decisions that I don't agree with. I'm open to other client frameworks but if the Firebase+Angular combo works out it seems to me like the best foundation.
- hayksaakian 14y agoSo I was checking out the documentation and ... http://i.imgur.com/EN3JA.png http://i.imgur.com/EN3JA.png ... maybe i'll hold off for now.
- sinak 14y agoSeems to be working again now.
- equark 14y agoBoth derby and meteor don't support relational databases. Give me a realtime graph or relational database.
