Hi everyone, Welcome to issue #180. Let’s sit back and see how Strava migrate MySQL to overcome limit if int32 for their id, or how youtube built their analytical column store.
It was at this point where we had a decision to make. We had, at best, five months of runway left on our activity_id column before the rollover happened. Yet no alternative data store really was meeting all our requirements.
A twitter thread about rewritten of an app from Objective C to Swift, in production, used by million of people. Uber migration to Swift is almost a failure if something didn’t happen such as they have a brilliant compilier engineer and Apple bump up bundle limit to 150MB then 200MB.
a horizontally scalable, eventually consistent, distributed column store leveraging lambda architecture to support both realtime and batch queries [
The goal of this was to indirectly infer the state of the application without introducing measurable overhead. I’ve run a few hundred hours of benchmarks and collected over one million data points to make sure my analysis was correct. Eventually, I plan to write about all aspects of my research, but today we will focus on a metric that has already been added to Node.
lazy-load non-critical resources when a user interacts with UI requiring it. Google uses this technique in google doc to reduce initial bundle load size

It covers universal compilers topics like intermediate representations, data flow, and “classic” optimizations as well as more research-flavored topics such as parallelization, just-in-time compilation, and garbage collection

In “Events as a Storage Mechanism” the concept of rebuilding state from a series of events was looked at from a conceptual viewpoint. This chapter will focus on the implementation of an actual Event Storage and some of the issues that come up in producing an implementation
