Thanks for sharing the article! The idea of making a framework for executing business logic that can be dynamically defined by users is old. It is realised in rule engines, embedded scripting, DSLs. As usually, no silver bullet, but a good

What newer hybrid languages besides Kotlin can cover the benefits you can get with Scala: a solid ecosystem (both for Scala and Java) for developing web applications, microservices, data processing, and good performance. Julia, Rust, and El

What sensor data and how much depend on the access needs: you can keep N latest records or some rolling aggregated data, if they are frequently accessed by some rule engine. It's certainly not feasible to hold big chunks of sensor data

Actor model may be a handy tool to build neural networks. I have not tried it yet in Akka or Erlang, but there is a whole book about it: https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9781461444626

I remember using Akka in the domain of IoT. A persistent actor represented a sensor: state and history of readings. There was a great feature in Akka Persistence: if an actor went idle for a while - no new sensor data, it would be offloaded

I think your points are about lacking solid engineering leaders at an organisation that could provide guidance and manage execution of the "modular monolith" approach. If a company does not have leaders who can ensure consistency

While I agree with you on unreasonable rush for microservices in many cases, I do not think a company must be on the FAANG-level scaling to justify microservices infrastructure. Modularisation is an efficient tool to address growing complex

I understand you on the longing for devotion, and introspected on it and the need in God. I believe they are continuations of our deeply ingrained feelings from early childhood towards our parents as omnipresent, powerful, right, protective

The omnipotence of God is true in Abrahamic religions, but it's not the case in many other religions, for example, Olympic Gods in Ancient Greece. You are not alone in wondering about a hidden God! Check Gnosticism. There is a great bo

The question of human mortality is growing with years on me, though I am in the middle of 30s. I am very fascinated with many aspects of religions: from the beauty of idea of devotion to a divine omnipresent entity, serving God as a meaning

So far so good. Avro is the longest supported serialisation format in Confluent Kafka, recently JSON and Protobuf were added. If you are on JVM stack, the drivers to work with schemas are well supported. We use Python, and Confluent driver

I guess many things are interesting just because they produce dopamine spikes, they are kind of superficial, and meditation reveals it. Meditation does not erase deep and sustained interests in me. But maybe it is age - I am in my mid 30s.

Thank you for elaborating on the reasons to create Janet! My argument can sound silly, particularly considering the fact that you do not have any obligations to justify your project that you opened for others. I am very thankful to open sou
