So if you have an ASG of 4 nodes and one goes down, how do you know that the traffic will land on the right node? What if that node is really busy? When the new machine comes up automatically does the system migrate queue ownership to it?

Looks like a helpful project. Having said that the clustering is often not the hard part with rabbit, well configuring it at least. The more difficult issues are keeping it clustered amidst your typical day of network hiccups in cloud envir

Sometimes though, the scale of these things is enough to make programming (and operations if your into that) completely exhilarating. Things that seem extremely trivial, like chat, or the ability to upload photos, become quite an engineerin

For me it's: - simplicity, which in turns creates less complex code and less crashes - performance, which for my use case was faster than sqlite - slightly opinionated, in that it forces you to not access objects from different threads

Do you mean from server to client? this is handled by the applications code, which inserts data primarily from a rest api into realm in a background thread. Not all data comes from rest however, some from apns or xmpp, depending on applica

Realm is awesome! I have been using it for a year now in a large production iOS/swift app with great success. Great job on the recent additions to the more fine grain notifications, with this I was recently able to reduce my own code,

So your argument has shape shifted from "This is terrible advice" to "this is terrible advice unless your at uber scale". Sounds like we are in agreement then - at high enough scale - this is solid advice.

This is one of those ideas that seems like it should exist. If it doesn't, it seems like you should build it! I would monetize it in a similar fashion as Touch Tunes. You should look into what they charge a bar.

If you are relying only on a framework for things like CRSF protection and do not understand how to avoid these pitfalls on a fundamental level then you have bigger problems. Having said that I think I would choose your solution based on yo

Sure, but Elon Musk is one person. Tesla is a team. Tesla has hired the brightest minds in the business, _plenty_ coming from years and years and years of deep experience building cars, supply chains, and more. You can believe that he didn&

Can you elaborate on this. In another comment you said: > "It's in alpha right now at about 80% of completion." confused but curious thanks!

It's called technical debt because it's supposed to be paid down. Real debt is too. Both have their positives of course. Just because there is cases of technical debt gone bad and not being repaid, there is horror stories the sam

Yea the last 1% is the most fun and difficult. One of the projects I am working on lately is a data integrity and syncing platform with multiple PB of data in multiple data centers, and the dataset has been around for 10-12 years. Some of t

I know far more people on bitmoji than snapchat. The people I know use it with almost every text/iMessage. I am in my 30s fwiw. Seems like a reasonable purchase if somehow they can convert these people to snap chat users. Also, I would

Realm would also be a great comparison. Albeit the core is not open yet so maybe that's why it was left out? For mobile databases though it really screams for me, when compared to SQLite.

the next version should have a require from #hashtag, so that it can be fault tolerant, and would last longer when lawyers request a takedown!

Every single dependency you import should make you nervous. You would look at it like hiring someone. You are letting go of some responsibility. You are letting go of some control. The end result might be better than you could do in-hou

While big table can be classified as a database that can be scaled to extremely large size, I would not recommend it for the backend of a game at all. It would be extremely expensive to run a workload like this, and would not be very perfor

Just curious, what did you find difficult about NSQ? I moved one large project from RabbitMQ to NSQ over a year ago and haven't looked back. It has just been wonderful to work with and build on top of. Anything you didn't like ab

Redis is my favorite example. It's some of the easiest to read, digest, and modify source code out there.

The real trick is to have a deep understanding of SQL before you use an ORM so that you know exactly what you are asking the ORM to ask the database to do. Otherwise you will never be able to really understand what is going on and will not
