As a Python backend services dev I fear a lot of the Python popularity you see is data analyst and data science/data pipelines/ML roles so if thats not your bag then don’t go all in on Python. Lots of companies doing cool backend

It's whack-a-mole where game is skewed wildly towards the moles. Basically there are tons of VOIP companies, with varying levels of give-a-shit and spam detection capabilities. Generally they are incentivized to let people self-serve o

Seconded, having worked in this space I can assure everyone that there are multiple orders of magnitude more (attempted) spam SMS than legitimate SMS.

Hugo. I did find creating my own theme to be a bit of PITA due to the lack of documentation but once I got over that hump it's smooth sailing.

Isn't that what's happening if you use any managed database product? They have probably colocated everything as much as possible and used various proprietary tricks to cut latency, but still.

Good point, but you could have the sender/pusher process read from Kafka Connect and parse into a domain event before pushing. It sounds roundabout, but you're letting a battle-tested implementation handle the database-table-liste

What do you think of avoiding implementing Outbox by just having things like Kafka Connect subscribe to the table changes in the database?

For the second time on this thread, its because it’s not blended up into sauce! The ingredients are placed on separately and the consistency is not that of sauce! Any more than a bag of sugar next to a carton of eggs is a cake batter! >
