No one who writes Python has ever said to themselves, "I wish I had Spring." It's not necessary, and it wouldn't even be beneficial. The kind of dynamism that Spring brings to Java, Python already has. Also Hibernate is

AWS Secrets Manager gives me everything I want, for no effort, and costs rounds-down-to-zero. I cannot begin to imagine what Vault could even offer that would tempt me to switch.

Wait, is it curated, or is it search? To me "search" implies that the tool _discovers_ my stuff and makes it searchable. If I have to tell it about my stuff ("curation"), then that's just a metadata catalog. The rea

Try doing that with NetSuite's WSDL in any non-Microsoft language and get back to me. To do it in Java you need a custom-patched obsolete version of Apache Axis which you must compile and run under Java 6, and you must pass a very

"After all, docker images are about saving the resources/memory for a full VM and using Linux kernel-level compartments instead." That's not what container images are for. Container images give you a self-contained deplo

(workflow/DAG systems are an area of special interest for me...) Happy to see you're supporting runtime-dynamic DAG shape. That's one of the critical things Airflow is missing. But, if I'm inferring correctly, it looks l

Blows my mind that they recommend keeping Airflow just for the scheduler , which is basically the WORST part of an overall bad tool. Use Jenkins. You'll be happy you did.

Been doing it this way since 2005. I don't know why anyone thinks it's new.

It's not. I wrote a lot of PL/SQL at my first real software job and I miss it dearly. I treasure every opportunity I get to write a little PL/pgSQL, which is very similar. Use it for the right purposes and it's a joy to

Is this a serious question? I mean, we all know that EC2 is still there, right? An EC2 instance is like a computer. If you have a program, you can run it there. You don't even need a container! I just don't know a non-sarcastic wa

This is just normal software development. If you avoid overloading yourself with unnecessary complexity, and you as an engineer spend time understanding the problem/business domain, there's no reason why this speed of turnaround s

I'm so confused. These examples are all using the SQL-like features of Spark. Not a map() or flatMap() in sight. So... why not just write SQL? df.registerTempTable('some_name') new_df = spark.sql("""selec

ORMs ultimately serve no purpose. If your data model is small, they save you very little work. If your data model is large, they collapse and you have to abandon them. There is no middle ground.

I get the idea but it seems clear that it will result in unmanageable spaghetti code in very little time. This model forces the developer to entangle versioning with logic. Since a big part of Temporal's value proposition is dis-entang

This is super interesting but I have what feels like a basic/dumb question... Let's say I have some workflow which executes over a period of days or weeks, and I want to deploy a new version of it. How does that work? What happens

Probably not your intent, but in my mind saying _anything_ is like Hibernate is equivalent to saying "run screaming in the other direction as fast as you can"

The simple way to understand the utility of a data lake is "S3 is phenomenally cheap". Some people treat this as an excuse to throw whatever they want into it, without any organization or standardization... and the consequences of

Hard to imagine a worse idea. The problem in data warehousing is not the structure , it's the definitions . It doesn't matter one tiny little bit whether you store your data in a fact/dimension star schema, a normalized OLT

Now that it's Saturday I've had time to play with this and I believe I've found the answers to my questions... 1. Based on the Clojure REPL example in the main README, I think the answer is YES, though not exactly the way I h

This looks very interesting. The visual component in particular seems very well done. I have a deep interest in DAG-structured ETL tooling and had a couple of questions that the documentation didn't seem to address... 1. Can I execute
