Firebase transactions: the state of the art

Let's start sayng that Firebase «has always supported updating multiple children of a node atomically», as described in [1]. But, what happens when you have two sibling nodes to update and you want to be absolutely sure of the atomicity of the writing process.

The ACID problem stands in front of you, little padawan

A common problem is to be ACID in a World of Key-values NoSQL.

  1. Follow the installation guide reported here: https://symfony.com/doc/master/bundles/StofDoctrineExtensionsBundle/index.html
  2. Further information about the installation of the base library (Gedmo) https://github.com/Atlantic18/DoctrineExtensions/blob/master/doc/symfony2.md
  3. Configuring the Translatable extension: https://github.com/Atlantic18/DoctrineExtensions/blob/master/doc/translatable.md

Backstory: I decided to crowdsource static site generator recommendations, so the following are actual real world suggested-to-me results. I then took those and sorted them by language/server and, just for a decent relative metric, their Github Watcher count. If you want a heap of other projects (including other languages like Haskell and Python) Nanoc has the mother of all site generator lists. If you recommend another one, by all means add a comment.
