@saraislet I don’t know what this book is, but it looks vaguely abusive from this page.
Separately, it would certainly be interesting if someone tried to taste, smell, or touch me to determine whether or not I had internalized their message! That’s a one way ticket to an unpleasant situation.
@nixCraft docker. You’re still dependent upon your environment so why be dependent upon nested environments? Systemd exists, and a 10 line unit file is not that hard.
go. Dumpster fire - useless package management, no thread model guarantees from call signatures, no structured results, still garbage collected. Use c# / java if gc is acceptable, and use c++ / rust if not. There is no place for go.
kafka. Too many computers in this world run pubsub with this overkill dog-slow Swiss Army knife.
I wrote a functions-as-a-service product.
To see how it performs, I wrote a function that speaks AWS protocol and does read-through caching to dynamodb. To use it, you just configure your AWS sdk.
At 1k rps, dynamodb is 3.6ms p99 on a hot key.
At 1k rps, my FAAS is 0.8ms p99 on a hot key.
At 10k rps, dynamodb cannot serve the hot key.
At 10k rps, my FAAS is 2.5ms p99 for the hot key.
Webassembly is very interesting, and I can’t wait to launch my service.
