Scott Robinson quad

I never want anyone on my team to ever have to waste a second of their life on stupid shit like:

Formatting
Lints (with automatic fixes)

Behold! I drag something like this, from project to project. It's time I scream about it.

n.b.

concurrency to reduce conflicts

vgmstream/src/meta/opus.c

#include "meta.h"
#include "../coding/coding.h"
#include "../layout/layout.h"
#include "opus_interleave_streamfile.h"

/* Nintendo OPUS - from Switch games, including header variations (not the same as Ogg Opus) */

cinch: supervisor trees for Rust

Constraints

Intra-task concurrent, because the child tasks can opt-in to multi-task concurrency.

Types

pub trait Service {

Don't use log levels, use structured logging

I read [an argument for only two log levels: INFO and ERROR][only-info-error]. I [responded][log-response] essentially saying:

I lightly agree that we could get away with two log levels.
I strongly disagree that we only need two ways to log.

Like the blog post's author, most of systems that I've worked on have had poor logging practices. But unlike the blog post's author, I strongly suspect that's because most logging APIs offer poor affordances.

The Hybrid Service Architecture

I haven't found a description of the service architecture I frequently see; but, the Internet is lousy with descriptions of three tier and event driven architectures.

This write-up is for Future Me to point at when asked how to design a network service.

tl;dr

A server cluster, scaled horizontally
A queue cluster, scaled vertically or sharded

What is this architecture called?

I rarely see the classical three-tier architecture in the wild; I frequently see a different architecture.

I don't know this architecture's name. Do you?

The Three-Tier Architecture

The "three-tier architecture" has been the reference pattern for Internet services:

Classics 📜

Technical writing I don't believe will ever get old.

Mandatory

Why can't I start a service?

I can start a thread, if I want shared memory parallelism
I can start a process, if I want shared storage parallelism
I cannot start a service, if I want shared network parallelism

What would it take to add a start API?
