qatanah | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: Has anybody shipped a web app at scale with 1 DB per account?

Can confirm the experience, I had to work on a company before with similar tech using Django.

All I can say, that it was a nightmare to do deployment and migration and some backward incompatibility features restrained us in some ways.

The company valued data isolation as a priority rather than ease of developing it. Hard to work with but great for data isolation.

Exactly it's a bit more of work does make you prone to mistakes. This is what happens when you rewrite transaction on your application. See what happens with to a btc exchange using mongo who got hacked.

I'm a bit outdated with mongo since 2.4-2.6 . It's a bit traumatic and i'm never coming back to it.

If in case I'll need a high atomicity and consistency for financial transaction i'll just use postgres with SERIALIZABLE transaction isolation. This solves everything.

Checkout the redbook.io it's a bit outdated but you can see from stonebreaker's discussion that nosql + sql will merge, which is what happening or happened right now. Mongo having transaction, and SQL having json datatypes.

back when mongo was around 2.6x, they had a global write lock.

Also, you'll encounter more problems with mongodb if in case you need transaction. You should check out more discussion here on db systems.

How does Thinkpad compare to the trackpad of mac nowadays?

The only thing that makes me use mac is the trackpad and retina. I have 15" late 2015 mbp, so far the best mbp out there w/o the butterfly keyboard.

Im still considering to go back to thinkpad for my next laptop since i had t42p, t60 before.

Redis tests are written in tcl! both perl and tcl are awesome!

qatanah | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: I'm away from the software industry since 2017; what has happened since?

Angular - Still lost track w/ their versioning. React - More popular JS Postgres - Getting better and better Svelte - Might make it. K8s - Too much stuff going on. Jump w/ care.

I think it applies to all open source projects.

qatanah | 6 years ago | on: 100k+ page views a month for $5 with a self-hosted static site

100000 / 30 / 24 / 60 / 60 = .03 views per sec.

Nothing surprising here.

But a great blog overall!
