I would agree with this article a lot more if it said that most people don't understand the problem microservices are trying to solve, but instead I think it contributes to the confusion. It's true that a microservice doesn't

I don't think having dependencies built into the language and/or compiler means it needs to be difficult to integrate with something like make. In fact gcc has dependency analysis built into it. It just knows how to output that in

Currently we use the restart procedure as described in the haproxy manual. We would like to get to true zero downtime though, we've been looking both at the method described in the post you mention as well as possibly using nginx in fa

We didn't intend to do a bait and switch. We mentioned this in the docs, but perhaps it was a little too buried. Our plan is to support multiple instances of the directory server for high availability. This is similar in principle to h

The changes that yelp have made are great for SmartStack users, but you still need to set up zookeeper in order to get going. Yelp is really pushing these changes for the multi datacenter use cases. I suspect this is one area where the stro
