Reason 3 "Strong Typing" is not an inherent advantage of GraphQL over REST. RESTful services that adopt Swagger can provide a typed schema and clients can call GraphQL services without any notion of type checking. http:/&#x2

It sounds like what wildcard is targeting is early stage startups with single digit number of developers that are still pivoting heavily. Otherwise, you would already have encountered enough "structural problems" to arrive at a b

I find the comparison to REST and GraphQL in this README to be a bit of a miss. GraphQL queries and REST add more value than just being another RPC. I cover this in http://glennengstrand.info/software/architecture/

> BTW, the author claims Go is faster than Java. Is this true, because it didn't used to be? I very recently ran an evaluation that included load testing feature identical business focused microservices written in both Java and Go.

The load test would call kong which would proxy each request to the service being tested. Kong would be configured with the http-log plugin where performance data would get sent to another service that would collect that data then update el

It is easy to repro this issue as I have open sourced the kubernetes manifests. There are instructions on https://github.com/gengstrand/clojure-news-feed/blob/master/... for how to provision the cluster

I used to like Kong a lot but I noticed that it started under performing when they released version 1. I blogged about that in http://glennengstrand.info/software/performance/springboot/d...

When comparing programming languages / tech stacks, I am also more interested in the full picture (libraries, complexity, performance) than just differences in syntactic sugar. I use https://github.com/gengstrand/c

yes, absolutely. I also use xmind too.

It would not be incorporating ML into your app's code base directly but one way that I incorporate ML is to use it to analyze application performance data in hopes of learning how to improve it. http://glennengstrand.info&#x

Thanks. That did improve the node.js performance. It now has comparable latency and only 16% lower throughput.

Ask HN: How can I improve the performance of this Node.js app?

It appears that your claim "Scala or Clojure that don't have real tail recursion because of the JVM" is in error. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1677419/does-scala-suppor... http://cl

A micro-service is written in two different Functional Programming languages for the JVM. Both services are load tested on AWS and the performance results are compared.

I have run into the same "multi-threading is hard" attitude among younger programmers. I believe that kind of attitude to be a career limiting mistake. In the interests of scalability, you may have to accommodate multi-process ori

I agree with your intentions; however, when comparing two languages, you need some quantifiable basis for comparison. "Better fit" is very ambiguous and hard to measure whereas code size is very specific and repeatable. I believe

What do you mean by the term "mindset?" To me, that term usually implies a kind of groupthink.

I am surprised that no one here has yet mentioned Clojure in connection with Big Data. At OSCON 2014 ( see http://glennengstrand.info/analytics/fp ), I was first introduced to Cascalog which allows you to write Hadoop

Scala does have more support for OO than Clojure with traits, case classes and pattern matching, and generics but Clojure does have enough support for OO for basic service creation. See https://github.com/gengstrand/clo

Assuming you mean books in the traditional sense and not just online material, about 2.5 hours.
