System Architecture

Nikhil Simha discusses Airbnb's Feature Platform, focusing on the recent efforts to solve the challenges, specifically covering: core APIs, training data generation, feature serving and observability.

All software is built atop a core set of assumptions. As new code is added and new use-cases emerge, software can become unmoored from those assumptions. When this happens, a fundamental tension arises between revisiting those foundational assumptions—which usually entails a lot of work—or trying to support new behavior atop the existing architecture. The latter …

Polylith is a software architecture that applies functional thinking at the system scale. It helps us build simple, maintainable, testable, and scalable backend systems.

A federated social network for individuals and communities to design, operate and control their own digital lives.

When I first became interested in functional programming, a more experienced engineer told me: “you know functional programming doesn’t really amount to much more than procedural programming.” As I insisted on the benefits of map, filter and reduce, he simply shook his head. “You’re thinking in the small. Go look at a large real-world application.” It took some time for me to see what he meant. My preferred language, Clojure, is a functional language.

Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is a communication protocol for streaming audio, video, and data over the Internet. Originally developed as a proprietary protocol by Macromedia for streaming between Flash Player and the Flash Communication Server, Adobe (which acquired Macromedia) has released an incomplete version of the specification of the protocol for public use.

“What is the easiest way to securely connect tens of thousands of computers, hosted at multiple cloud service providers in dozens of locations around the globe?” If you want our answer, it’s Nebula, but I recommend that you read the rest of this short post before clicking that shiny link. At Slack, we asked ourselves this […]

Gather round the fire to hear the tale of how we built migration for stateful apps on a global public cloud without building a SAN.

Is slapping another quick and dirty one just to solve a problem at hand a bad practice? Not really, I’d say.
