has enabled us to support massive global traffic with a single primary Azure PostgreSQL flexible server instance⁠(opens in a new window) and nearly 50 read replicas spread over multiple regions globally. This is the

I do wonder why they are using Azure PostgreSQL flexible instead of the Azure CosmosDB Postgres offering based on Citus

Maybe FerretDB will work.

FerretDB allows you to use MongoDB drivers seamlessly with PostgreSQL as the database backend. Use all tools, drivers, UIs, and the same query language and stay open-source.

That’s fucked up

I’ve used it before but couldn’t see the advantage over using JSONB with Postgres except change streams.

What are you referring to?

I really like how I can turn everything into immutable val’s and represent different paths as expressions, it can IMO really reduce the complexity of a function and makes it easier to spot bugs. I’ve been migrating some code of a FOSS app to Kotlin and was able to shrink most classes by like 30% while making it easier to read. The only thing I dislike about it is the additional syntax for various things, I could do without having multiple ways to write a constructor.

Also, like, fuck golang, it’s such a shit language and the compiler does very little to protect you

I never understood why people like it. It’s a “new” language, and it still doesn’t seem to get the basics right. No proper null handling, and don’t get me started on interface{}. It’s like they set out to build a better alternative to C++ while ignoring the other developments outside C/C++ for the past 15 years. The compiler is damn quick, though.

Didn’t they switch from Firebird because of the database?
