A real scaling discussion.
|
| |
In light of the recent levity, perhaps we should bring it back to brass
tacks. What are the main talking points when you confront the anti-rails
FUD?
For me, it is:
- YAGNI,
- easy to re-factor slow parts,
- most of the time is spent in the database,

role of maintaining it. Things that this would cover include simple
