The software works excellently in a development environment and performs well when running as a single instance. However, I encountered issues when scaling it up for high availability in a clustered setup. The system would fail inconsistent

Skype used postgres as queue with a small plugin to process all their CDR many years ago. I have no idea if it used these days but it was 'web scale', 10 years ago. Just working, while people on the internet argued about using a d

Yes. It's actually not as simple as it sounds and involved preparing all my own meals. This said. A bottle of salt lasts a long long at home. Eating out is a quick way to get 100% of your DVA in one meal. Disappointingly, it made no di

If you use python, there is an excellent json5 module. But true, it may not be as well supported by other languages. I am not sure I may as well be using yaml. I don't like it for the multiple reasons in the OP and this thread. If you

Json5, although not widely adopted. Has // comments and /* block comments. It also allows additional trailing , in lists. Something I hate but is a great feature if you use a macro system on top of it. (Like jinja2).

Your comments seem to closely reflect mine. I'll have to take your advice and give it another go. It's everything all the others want to be. The architecture with distributed bookkeeper underneath seems so much more advanced.

While pulsar on paper seems a superior solution, in my experience it is very still very immature and very buggy. I really want to use it over kafka but I would not bet my business on it. I am not a fan of Kafka, it's kinda old, and the

You used to be able to make small business filings on their portal as well. Then it got too hard when they spent a few years making many many more rules. They then mandated you use a third party to file things like employee payments saying

But for personal projects there is some value in both just shipping it and going on a massive tangent to deeply learn something. For all non trivial projects the line is somewhere in between and nothing is as black and white.

In Australian, a local government competition body regularly pursues this sort of fake-ass pricing. They are a great laugh once they a fined, but it is not so funny before. Here is one that is as ridiculous as the Black-Friday fake deals. e
