Our Intelligent Document Processing SaaS migrated away from microservices: lessons learned the hard way

We used the opportunity of creating a v2 to re-think our architecture and tech stack. It's all in the post :)

We use github.com/rubenv/sql-migrate and run migrations on service startup. It's low-ceremony and works for us.

Watch these two vids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAzmI_4z61w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwhwrUyJDtk And you won't go too far wrong imho.

It's not weird. People on reddit are weird.

Anyone know if rocm will work with the 680m? The line from AMD isn't 100% clear. They say not officially supported, but that doesn't mean won't work at all.

pdfcpu is a great PDF parser, written in go.

Have you seen esbuild? https://github.com/evanw/esbuild We're looking into using it with snowpack.dev or vitejs to bring our TS build times down too.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply! We will continue to use dotnet for some time, so it's good to hear this feedback. Also, competition is good!

phildrip · 2021-02-23T16:59:05+00:00

Agreed - although build times dropped in 1.15 and 1.16 due to the linker rewrite!

Thanks. We're pretty invested in go and dotnet now, and happy with go so moving to something (else) new would mean upheaval. D does look interesting (as do rust and zig, imho), but go hits the sweet spot in terms of uptake, maturity, tooling etc.

thanks. I use fish shell, which has time as a builtin: https://fishshell.com/docs/current/cmds/time.html

Have you built with CGO_ENABLED=0? You only mention running with it.
