They are the same, there is also some functionality for managing firebase auth users in the gcp console.

for this specific example, I think the shared library is not the correct approach. Queues work for simple fifo behavior, but in this case they also need fairness (and perhaps other logic, like rate limiting per client, different priority fo

Thoughts on a couple of your points: - we don’t need any kind of backwards compatibility, we just update everything. if you don't care about backwards compatibility, then you can stay on v1 forever. Have you considered a monorepo? That

depending on how you define transaction, this doesn't seem possible? my approach has been to make all operations idempotent and ensure they are all ran at least once.

I worked on a project which required some medium scale web scraping (less than 100 million pages), and went with node primarily because of puppeteer. The system had a couple dozen worker processes doing the scraping, and one coordinator whi

I agree this can be awkward, especially if you let these constructs propagate through your codebase and database. However, if a string or int can be null, then all strings and ints are essentially pointers, so you've just introduced th

i would suggest bias your implementation against false negatives. They can always come back and update it if it's wrong, and their url could just as easily be "valid" but incorrect, eg any typo in a domain name. if it's

I think this article misses two important points on siloed qa teams 1. Qa doesn’t know what can be covered by unit or integration tests 2. Since they treat our code like a black box, they may create permutations of tests which which cover t

cool, so this is like warby parker's app for renewing prescriptions? that really saved my ass recently, when my glasses broke and I found my prescription was expired. Apparently, they let you use an expired prescription up to 18 months

how significant is 1 if you are using cloud sql proxy? My understanding is that the proxy tunnels traffic over an encrypted connection, so there is no benefit to adding an extra layer.

would have been useful for something we ran into at a previous job. For legacy reasons large csv files had been zipped instead of gzipped (or some other streamable format), and were causing some process in our data pipeline to consume too m

my intuition is you can save cpu time when compressing before sending over the network (and certainly wall time). a quick test copying a 24M file (with similiar compression ratios) to s3 showed a 6% decrease in cpu time when piping through

did you use any kind of message framing? Got bit by this at a previous job where we needed to change the message format to improve compression. Wound up figuring something out, but would have been easier if we had reserved a byte for versio

The best use case I've had for partitioning tables is when there is a lot of churn that would otherwise result in significant vacuuming. For example, a table holding the past 7 days of data would require deleting 1/7 of its rows e

interesting, how did the spend breakdown between cloud run and firebase? did you have any limit to how many req/s you made to an individual site? It seems this would be difficult to implement with this architecture. how did you deal wi

I think it was already strongly consistent within regions? like if you had tried to read a non-existent key, then wrote to it, it might continue to appear to not exist for a minute?

would it have been sufficient to alert on high memory usage? It might be reasonable to set an alert on say 70% rss. As long as the pod does not pass this threshold and die before a metric can be sampled. that "no such file or directory

Also this, and maybe this is where social background comes into play. If my parents didn't value education, they wouldn't have moved us to a good school district or taken the time to look over my homework and assignments.

It's obvious the SAT does not measure native intelligence independent of education. I attribute my success in the SATs to the excellent teachers I had in high school. I didn't study at all and found that everything on the test had

tangentially related, but have you ever had to deal with statistics on a table indexed on (x, date), where there are a few million rows added each day, and x could be [0,1000], with a distribution like 80% of rows owing to only a few values

Interesting that you compare them to mixins, which the react team considered harmful and removed. What problems do hooks solve better than composition or hoc? I really haven’t kept up with react, when I last used it 6 months ago I started w
