Thank you!

Thanks! Added!

I will definitely reach out! Thanks for the suggestion!

I believe there was a caveat around this exact point later in the post. It was really tough striking a balance for people learning this for the first time and more knowledgeable audience without confusing them further.

I do appreciate the feedback and will look to add some more color here! Thank you!

We have another couple of notes from a few companies like Temporal, Sentry, and Gadget.

This is a quick rundown of database indexes and transactions. Excited to continue sharing these notes with community!

Very cool. I love what the Grafana team is up to.

I am aware just didn’t want to correct the person correcting the inaccuracies. I suppose I could have given the red squares a unit value in the illustration.

That’s really awesome!

Thanks. I believe it has been fixed now.

Definitely true! Good eye. Drawing out 1500 squares is tough.

Thanks for pointing this out I will fix it.

Here is the full illustration https://architecturenotes.co/content/images/size/w2000/2022/...

There is one administrator. I always found that fallacy the hardest to realize.

It’s like owning the entire supply chain. I remember this bit from someone who used to work at Heroku. It’s impossible for us to switch we spent so much time making the system work with AWS, switching or adding another provider would be a kin to starting over.

Hard agree.

Thanks for sharing that experience. What did you end up doing to lower your costs?

Thanks. I would say quorum issues with flakey nodes is up there too.

Short little post about Fallacies of Distributed Systems. These are some thoughts I feel often get downplayed when engineers are designing microservices.

Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah I agree. Let me see what I can do.

We have paid membership that currently doesn’t have much yet.. https://architecturenotes.co/membership/

So you can support there though. Do appreciate it. Hoping to do more technical dives on technologies and use cases here soon.

We worked hard to make very approachable, explain concepts people assume people are aware of. This means a lot and hope to continue producing these and more.

Good catch. I will revise this. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks for the help there. I am struggling my way through that.

I am glad it can be of help and plan to do much more. :)

I am surprised how this hot take still has legs. World's biggest site's use Python.

Thanks for the feedback. I will look into it.

Here is the sketch note of the entire post as well.

Correct. :)

Hello creator of the project. This entire project was motivated by another HN post where someone was asking where we can get information about architectures and system designs across our industry. Seeing there wasn't anything available, I decided to start it; glad to see its resonated with the community.

I hope to create high quality posts from engineers that work on these systems and the challenges they are trying to solve. Really dig into the problems and the technologies and strategies they used to solve it.

What they have learned? Where they have failed?

I also plan to write up deep technical dives on technologies we all rely on and use everyday.

If there is any feedback to improve or you have something you want to write up with me please reach out.

I prefer Delorean much more. https://delorean.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html
