Wholeheartedly agree on OSGi. Disastrous implementations. I worked with servicemix and still have nightmares around class path issues and crazy bundle scoping rules. A plain old maven built jar with shading works much better in practice, b

It is a matter of tooling. One data center or ten, it does not matter much with proper tooling. We deploy to seven data centers with a click of a button, with rollback, staggered deployment etc. Centralized logging using ELK gives us great

Building Microservices needs discipline, an eye to find reusable components and extracting them and as you said, investment in infrastructure. Monoliths invariably tend to become spaghetti over time, and completely impossible to any non t

I agree. I'm a fan of pull model for metrics, where app logs very granular numbers and whoever wants metrics at whatever granularity will pull from these logs into splunk/tsdb etc. Let the app be simple in emitting metrics

Beware of memory leaks in histograms!

Indeed. Error rates, latency distribution,max latencies, percentiles (as a special case of distribution) and throughput give a good picture of how a system is working
367.
by neeleshs 10y ago
Yes! This one is important. Error rates are very important to track too

While 99% latency provides a good measure of QoS, it does not tell me the scale at which it is operating. I may have a service that renders some static content, say a hundred times a day. My 99th percentile latency is < 50ms. Now my obse

"you honestly just sound like a cheapskate". Ad-hominem? Well, well, anyways :) I never said I don't play by whatever practices each country has around tipping. I just don't like it.

Does not work with repeat visits. May not be a big issue for Lyft, but it is for frequently visited restaurants and other places.

I am against tipping as a practice in general. Tipping or not tipping results in preferential treatment, subtle attitude changes, depending on the amount tipped and so on. It's more about the social discomfort I have around tipping, ra

Allowing tipping is why I don't use Lyft.

NDTV, an indian news channel, just reported that the launch cost was 50% less than spacex. No specifics were provided though.

Diversity lottery is not available for India, China and some others. Isn't the eb2 category for rest if the countries pretty much current? Working on an h1b for a year or two for any company should be enough time to get a greencard.

HBase + Phoenix is the closest I know of. Though, the cost of covered indexes is duplication. Phoenix also provides local/global indexes, giving an optimization choice b/w read heavy vs write heavy patterns

Awesome! Now lets do it for 1B rows, and then 10 Billion and then some. It is well known that for small datasets NoSQL is no better , if not worse, than an RDBMS.

Not etcd, but zookeeper yes. It's mostly been set up and forget kind of infrastructure for us, except for some snafus created by our own config errors.

What other stream processing frameworks do you prefer in the place of spark streaming?Storm is pretty mature, but does not play very well with YARN last I tried. Flink looks pretty good, but is fairly new. Samza is another one. I'm cur

Absolutely. I keep getting amazed at how well designed their backend is (going by their OSS contribs and blogs at least), and their client app on the device absolutely sucks.

by neeleshs 11y ago
Absolutely agree with this point. I hear the same argument for restaurant waiters and I hate this tipping system that even has suggested tipping tiers. It only tells me that owners of these establishments are not paying their employees corr

Scala + Spray + ScalikeJDBC, though I miss Spring's DI sometimes. None of the scala DI pieces felt natural & clean. So stuck with scala implicits

That's cool! I have my TV connected to the sound system and just chromecast from my phone to TV.

I'm from India and this is anecdotal, but I've never met a person who's intolerant to dairy. I heard about lactose intolerance only after moving to the US. In most part of India, dairy is an integral part of diet.

While I do not agree with the premise of the quote, I don't find "customization" and "multi-device synch" tech-hipsterish - its exactly what happens with many phone app/webapp combinations.

Yes, I have been in these situations. For me, there was no getting in the zone - I used to spend a lot of time pushing back, trying to oversimplify a solution, or just freezing because I was not stimulated enough by the task at hand. Ultima

One thing that people don't talk much about is the network overheads, marshaling/unmarshaling, which adds up really quickly in a microservices architecture - imagine pulling large amounts of data 3 layers out, with all that overhe
