This is one of the best blog post on company building I've read. Actually the only one I've loved! (All I've read are VC garbage)

Ironically Dart was built for the web [1] (as a Dart VM for Chrome, then later on compiled to JS). One would expect something like that to do well on the web. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dart_(programming_language

Rewriting it in Rust killed it! (Not particularly, but the dev did not even make a working prototype in JS before getting in on the Rust hype-train. He wanted to work on cool actor models, complex systems, et al and over-engineered the proj

Amazing! Every chat app needs this. I use WhatsApp daily and this is in dire need.

The ansible workbook is great (I use it for my matrix homeserver). I've bridged multiple chat apps into matrix and things just work. But Beeper is a better client for this usecase. It has better UX for a all-in-one chat app - single b

This is fine - different chat clients can have their own features and UXs. Telegram can have two ways of uploading an image - compressed and uncompressed. Matrix can have one. WhatsApp can have storefronts attached to business accounts, oth

They have a golang client. And there was an attempt to write a Java client[1]. Someone could help ShaileshSurya (the java client maintainer) [1] https://github.com/ShaileshSurya/edgedb-java

This would be MSC 3189 [1]. It is just a draft for now. So expect it to be shipped to clients in 3-6 months(?) [1] https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3189

Ah, my bad. Looks like they are not open source. But you can use them if you are not building a database product (as mentioned in their license). Here the downside is we can't have a managed service. (Or maybe we can if we can load the

Yes this has been my experience too. The WhatsApp bridge I used had been pretty unstable. I thought it might be a configuration issue from my side.

You need WhatsApp to be installed on a real device or a VM for mautrix-whatapp [1] (the bridge) to work. You also need to connect to that real device using WhatsApp web [2]. I know because I've used the bridge. [1] https://g

The comment section seem to hate on Redis Enterprise, but FYI ReJSON and RediSearch are open source and are good addons / plugins. Why implement a JSON parser in your code when redis can take care of it? And with search added you don&#

Databases are providing greater native functionalities which will reduce our efforts in writing boilerplate code. But the underlying SQL gets complex and it gets harder to maintain high-performance code - or hire good engineers. This has ma

You can run a normal postgres DB alongside EdgeDB. You can use a regular Postgres cluster and create your pg databases in it and at the same time point EdgeDB to the cluster docker run --name edgedb -e EDGEDB_PASSWORD=secret \ -e

For me to use EdgeDB with RDS I would need to compile it [1]. But I don't think this is recommended usage of EdgeDB and there isn't enough documentation on using EdgeDB with an external postgres instance. I see that I could use: e

When will EdgeDB be production ready? Also will it handle large scale deployment with Fail-Over and Replication?
