Hehe. I think it's Open Source at play: X publishes an innovative method, Y iterates with a cleaner version benefiting from lessons-learnt, X says "awesome, let's join forces!" and they live together happily thereafter.

Offtopic, but regarding the downvotes - I have been using FB front-end projects for several years, and today I see them as _the_ gold standard for a supportive, mature, well-governed, and consistent FoSS ecosystem. I struggle to recall any

Yes, the db has been the most challenging aspect for us. We have 3 situations - 1. "Common baseline". With a relatively stable product, most branches (as in ~51%) do not impact the schema. For testing / QA purposes, these sh

We do the same - it was surprisingly simple to implement - - CircleCI listens across all GIT branches and injects $CIRCLE_BRANCH into ENV - A build step populates a vhost template to point "$CIRCLE_BRANCH.qa.bofh.com" to &qu

We use Aurora for MySQL apps and love it. The PG-compliant variety is not available in our regions, so can't put it through real testing by ghosting requests yet. IMO RDS is perfect for most use-cases. I'd strongly encourage to tr

We have been using JSON on RDS extensively since 9.5. Today probably 80%+ of PG JSON capabilities are used by the app in some way for some pretty complex use-cases (fintech). Never had any issues with this on RDS - everything just works (mu

PG JSON implementation is solid and supports nearly everything you want from a document database, with the added bonus of joins, queries, ACID, and tooling. However, syntax can be awkward at times - # Find a row by JSON property value

GraphQL defaults to JSON over HTTP, but you can funnel it through sockets or protobuf or anything else. The conflict here is that gRPC goes beyond a serialization protocol - it's a full strongly typed RPC layer. You define your objects

Thanks for sharing your story. I think addiction, like depression or war, can segment life into "before" and "after" periods. Before you experience it, you have valid and interesting ideas. After you go through it, howev

Living Australia, I had seen money change owners among friends literally dozens of times. Not huge sums ($500-$3,000), but big enough to matter in mid-20s. It felt normal at the time, though in retrospect I can see that most of our families

FWIW WholeFoods recently invested significant sums (~$30M) into instacart and made them the official online distribution channel. So WFM sees some value in being a distribution center, if that means moving more of their goods.

Indeed a class of investors does exactly this - they provide unlimited but conditional money, set strict KPIs, embed their own people to steer the efforts in the desired direction, and generally take a hands-on role until they exit in 3-5 y

Sorry, no experience with oData so can't give a useful comparison. One obvious difference is that GraphQL requires a structured query, which will always guarantee the structure of the response data. It's like static typing for bus

We expose GraphQL to two high value customers, but the pains of having a stable public API are so great that I wouldn't recommend it to any startup without a damn good reason.

That's where we started. The next natural step will be - "Thanks for the comments, now the user needs to sort them by votes/date, ok?" and the URL starts looking like a query anyway, so you're on the way of re-imple

We've been using GraphQL for everything since late 2015. All recent code is GraphQL-first, and all old code is proxied by a GraphQL layer in front of it. Our application helps BigCos to understand if they pay people fairly and to run s

Huge if true :D Thank you for porting this to the web. Right now we use a combination of react-motion, GSAP, D3 interpolation and other dark magic. A strong contender in this space is most welcome, especially if it's at a higher abstra

You're right we are early into that event. It's still not clear how the arrest played out: (a) they were grabbed along with "rioters" and later turned out to be journalists on the side or (b) they were with media badges
