The Monolith That Breaks Up Itself

This feels all to familiar to a Java developer and similar to what they do in k8s with the genericapiserver component but not to the full extent described in the article. It's interesting to see how the service container pattern appears in other language ecosystems. The nice thing about go's module system is that it feels like a monorepo without the tooling feeling separate to the language. So splitting up a repo into different repos doesn't come with the versioning hell when working with maven

Damn you hurt me with this one. You can use 100 plugins and versioning with Maven in these scenarios is still a rat's nest. But using a monorepo can make CI/CD for individual services just as messy :(

What versioning hell is that? I've found maven versioning really nice.

If stuff is versioned together, keep it in the same repo, but in a multi-module project. If you want independent versioning you need to have an actual interface (meaning semver, backwards compatibility checking etc.) and that's the point where the pieces should live in separate repositories.

Hate to be that guy, but why is this Medium post paywalled? I don't think it makes sense for an enterprise blog that also advertises career opportunities.

Is it some sort of bad default from Medium's side?

It's not paywalled for me.

Medium has this policy that you get a certain number of free articles views per day or something. It also sometimes blocks certain browsers, but this I am unsure of.

Paywalled for me too. It's ridiculous to use Medium for corporate content at this point. This company has paywalled a front page HN story.

I think the writers decide if it is paywalled (if it is they get paid). Still would prefer just having ads but I guess adblock is too popular for its audience.

You’ve probably viewed another article or 2 on medium. If you open in a private tab the paywall will likely not be there.

Medium apparently allows X many reads for per month for certain account levels. Somehow this policy seems more petty, vicious and stupid than honest to gawd paywalls.

Medium is just blogging site. Boycott it. It's awful. Wordpress or whoever just has adds.

It's a number of articles per month limit.

Open it in an incognito tab.
