Not sure that it makes sense to compare NATS to gRPC. Maybe the thinking is because gRPC supports bi-directional streaming? The integrations are wildly different, though.

I didn't realize it was time to drag this old chestnut out of storage. Nothing like dusting off a decades long flame war. I'm sure everyone will come to an agreement this time.

I can count on zero hands the number of times I've needed to solve a problem by navigating the branch tree. I've lost count of the number of times that two eternal branches and fea…

Who cares? I love reading some of these book exceprts. Got me to buy and read the history of Marvel. This stuff is pretty interesting.

It feels like they reinvented the wheel on a lot of things (especially on the monitoring side). I also wish there was some more detail about the caching/endpoint side of things. We…
