Adrian CockcroftSo many bad and superficial takes on the Prime Video monolith story, time to write a blog post…
Here's the blog post... https://adrianco.medium.com/so-many-bad-takes-what-is-there-to-learn-from-the-prime-video-microservices-to-monolith-story-4bd0970423d4
חנן כהן • Hanan Cohen@adrianco I have a question that's not related to server/less that I hope you could answer. Do I understand correctly that streaming vendors check the quality of every frame transmitted to every user?
If not, what are they checking and how much?
Thanks.
@hananc For the pre-recorded streaming content there are automated quality checks that look for bad frames etc. For every session Netflix logs what bitrate you get and what CDN endpoint it came from, and any rebuffer stall. This new tool was for checking live events that can’t be checked offline.
Aaron Huslage@adrianco I don’t even understand the need for a take on it. They made the decision they felt was right for their product. There isn’t anything inherently right or wrong about it. Advocating for tech monocultures or “golden paths” is always a stupid idea. Things work for different reasons in different contexts. Always.
Bob Thomson@adrianco I was counting the minutes until the 37 signals man chipped in, like the DJT of infrastucture: “Even losers AWS can’t get their cloud stuff to work for cheap. SAD”.
