First, congrats on getting healthy! Secondly, since you're presenting this as a portfolio entry, I have some open, honest feedback. I quickly reviewed the repository and there are some pretty major orange-red flags that would dissuade

Kafka, unlike Mongo DB, relies on recovery/replication instead of fsync: https://jack-vanlightly.com/blog/2023/4/24/why-apache-kafka-... Kafka has never tried to hide that fact and it does not, in a

This ^^^ My answer to this question would have been a VERY weak "Yes" before the Twitter disaster. Now that we're seeing the true Elon alongside real engineer feedback, it's a HARD no.

That totally makes sense. I think you'd have a miserable time supporting this at scale if a re-compile is needed every time a new workload requires a tweaked setting or two. Config based static allocation is the best of both worlds.

I disagree in this case. Normally I'd fully agree with you but I think this animation style works really well given their use-case.

This is not really surprising considering that it's basically a (very cool) marketing article for their equipment.

They explain pretty clearly that this is static memory allocation. In other words, a calculated amount of (mostly) contiguous memory is allocated at startup and used very carefully, relying on disk to supply the dynamic nature of database l

Per the article: "(Currently it’s determined even before startup, at compile-time, but startup is the important point since that is the first time that memory can be allocated.)" Sooo are we sure you can even change this via proc

Not a fan of what feels like an advertisement hijacking the OPs post. Most would probably prefer you just make a separate HN post.

The article body and headline are (of course) at odds IMO. The headline is very much "doomscroll" material while the article points out that interference could basically manifest as having to rely on secondary systems and protocol

Depends how you group them. If we're talking battle tested then yea maybe four but I believe there are many more that don't have widespread adoption

What issues did you run into on the JVM with Java/Scala? I spent 5 years working up and down the entire akka stack so I'm curious to learn from your point of view. Also did you try akka typed or classic?

Local NAS with offsite backup is far more resilient than any physical item onsite. One house fire and that album goes up in smoke.

I don't know your background but the way you respond makes me think you have not been responsible for systems that multiple tenants rely on for varying workloads. These assumptions you're making are dangerous because the variety o
