omg! such mind-blowing and world-changing ideas like “they didn’t reinvent the wheel” and “The bottlenecks were identified and eliminated.”
i feel like i am at the mlm presentation. seriously, if you want to “learn more” invest the 6 minutes of your life better.
I expect better from major publications like newsletter.systemdesign.one
Not even a .pizza domain, it’s clearly second rate
I like how “Don’t reinvent the wheel” is almost immediately followed by “they rewrote some of the core components to fit their needs”. Isn’t that basically reinventing the wheel with a few extra steps?
More a redesign the wheel.
I think it’s a case of “easier said than done”
Dumb article. Will save everyone a click:
- lower level languages
- higher/wider concurrency
- faster auto-scaling
The same formula for every platform operating out there. What they don’t talk about is efficiency, which is always the most juicy part of these kinds of writeups. You can scale anything to do 50b messages with enough money and resources, but how efficient is it?
Will the 3rd one shock me? As always?
It’ll shock you, on whether it shocks you or not.
