I've been using AngularJS for a project over the last few days and I've found that it really helps with the structure of the JS. Some other points: - haven't tried Angular testing yet but it has end-to-end testing (and you can swap out your backend services for mocking) - you can use Celery (uses RabbitMQ/Redis/Mongo/whatever underneath for the broker) for offloading the jobs in Python. Just add a decorator to your work function, makes it really easy (you can also use PiCloud if you need something with more crunching power) - ElasticSearch docs are still a bit of a minefield. I was already familiar with Solr and Lucene and I struggled with them (ElasticSearch is really nice though) - Lucene itself is very complicated when you need it to do more for you. ElasticSearch can't protect you from that complexity but there is a mighty engine down there to solve all your searching needs - Mongo makes dev easy, but I worry about the long term cost when things get complex. I did a job recently and found that my brain struggled to keep the internal Mongo doc structure intact. - I wouldn't make a single page app if I wanted it indexed by google. I guess there are usecases but I haven't run into them yet. It's still early days for this stuff and it still has a way to go. We're all going to learn some lessons along the way I'm sure. Thanks for sharing your code, I'll look at it later when I'm not supposed to be getting a job finished :)

> Mongo makes dev easy, but I worry about the long term cost when things get complex. I did a job recently and found that my brain struggled to keep the internal Mongo doc structure intact. I don't worry too much about that. You can use the repository patten to manage the serialisation and storage of your objects. Given this is something you'd typically do in most backends, I don't think it's a big ask. I do worry about the Mongo scare stories. > You can use Celery (uses RabbitMQ/Redis/Mongo/whatever underneath for the broker) for offloading the jobs in Python. Just add a decorator to your work function, makes it really easy (you can also use PiCloud if you need something with more crunching power) I can't remember evaluating Celery, so possibly I overlooked it. Perhaps it didn't work with Python 3 at the time? I'll have to look into Angular.
