If you attend conferences or read technical articles, you could think that microservices are the correct and only way to build a system at the moment. Despite some pushback from cooler heads, the default architecture is microservices. In this post, I’d like to argue why it’s wrong. I’ll first get back to the origin of microservices and the fundamental reason to use them. Then, I’ll describe why microservices don’t fit most organizations' structures. Afterward, I̵

In this article, we’ll explain the different ways to manage network traffic in Kubernetes cluster and look at the various types of services available for network administration and their use cases

As a cloud provider, we handle a considerable amount of data on a daily basis, especially with our Object Storage products. That means that we needed a way to distribute this data globally, with various consistency, replication, and database sharding for linear read and write latency. We designed the database

Listen in on Jane Street’s Ron Minsky as he has conversations with engineers working on everything from clock synchronization to reliable multicast, build systems to reconfigurable hardware. Get a peek at how Jane Street approaches problems, and how those ideas relate to tech more broadly.

Yesterday, I wrote about how SPAs were a mistake. Today, I want to talk about how you can build multi-page apps (or, you know, regular websites) that are as fast as SPAs. Let’s dig in! A quick summary The sites and apps I build are absurdly fast. They load nearly instantly. Even on spotty 3G connections on the other side of the world, where many of my students live, things still load really quickly (like, 3 seconds or less fast).

Advice to make documenting your work interesting

Like GraphSAGE, Relational Graph Convolutional Networks extend the notion of the Graph Convolution Network (GCN). The layers of a GCN are a generalization of convolutional layers in a CNN where the data can have a dynamic number of neighbors instead of being fixed on a grid like the pixels of an image. Where GraphSAGE focuses on […]
