michaelangermanon Fascinating Google Doodle Which Lets the Blind See

The most interesting thing about this concept is for years I have been walking over these things on city streets and it took this Google Doodle for me to even know what they are. We live in a world that continues to astound me by the mere fact that we can see things in our life every day and not even know what they are.

michaelangermanon Redis Turns 10 – How it started with a single post on Hacker News

I believe if you think of Redis as a data structure server, then there are lots of applications you can build out that have simple commands like set and get for both lists and hashmaps that are slightly different ways of thinking about saving and retrieving your data. The concept of a set is very powerful and easier to implement I believe than using SQL.

michaelangermanon Redis Turns 10 – How it started with a single post on Hacker News

For me, Redis is the most software valuable tool I use. I was hooked from the day I started using it about 8 years ago. It somehow has a place in almost every software project I work on. And it just keeps getting better. Now with RESP3 on the horizon, it will enable me to even further benefit from the many clients available in almost every programming language.

michaelangermanon Istio – An open platform to connect, manage, and secure microservices

The complexity of our world today in the software space is truly astounding. Agreed you would need an istio person, but that can be the same person who is the k8s person. If you have a company with large enough scale to be contemplating istio and service meshes in general; then if Istio makes your life easier in terms of dev ops in general, it might actually be worth it.

michaelangermanon Istio – An open platform to connect, manage, and secure microservices

The cool thing about Istio is that you do not have to modify your current K8s application. You simply need to reroute who your microservices call. So instead of calling another service or message queue; you configure all of your calls to call the envoy proxy. Then the proxy takes over and gets configured according to the control plane definitions.

One of the great things about Istio is that it is a super interesting and informative way to better understand the Kubernetes, Docker, Helm stack.

When I first started learning Kubernetes it wasn't clear to me how a small startup or company could leverage the power of Kubernetes because in reality you need some scale to make it worthwhile.

However, once you can play with, observe and better understand some application infrastructure which sits on top of Kubernetes like Istio the light goes on in your head and things get much more interesting.

Here is a really nice short simple introduction to Istio

michaelangermanon Show HN: HugeGraph – An open source fast and highly scalable graph database

Neo4j is a good choice as well and I did use it too. In the end, I chose Dgraph simply because I was curious about understanding in depth the source code and at the time Golang was my language of choice for a deep dive into how to implement a graph database from the ground up.

michaelangermanon Show HN: HugeGraph – An open source fast and highly scalable graph database

My favorite one is Dgraph

https://dgraph.io/

https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph

This is an excellent choice if you are looking for a rock solid scalable graph database.

Its written in Go, which for me is my language of choice for backend scalable fast solutions.

The community is helpful and available.

Plus it uses Badger for long term persistence.

Which is also a big bonus...

https://github.com/dgraph-io/badger

The combination of these two open source projects should definitely be reviewed by anyone considering a new project using graph databases...

One nice thing about Badger is that it is a tool similar to Rocks DB...

So Badger can be used standalone if you want a nice fast key / value DB written in Go as well.

This is an important topic that I believe is well explained here. Thanks !

michaelangermanon Material UI v1 for React is out

I have been programming with Material UI, every day, for the past year and have nothing but very positive comments to make about it. The team is excellent, the code is extremely reliable, and the

https://github.com/cssinjs/jss

just works.

Its simple, easy to use, and not having to deal with global stylesheets is a pleasure.

And they are just getting started.

I look forward to the future with this React toolkit.

An incredible effort has been made by the team members.
