It seems to me that software producers often advertise to managers rather than programmers, and that's why this style caught on.

Agree, this is marketing material for bean counters.
Re: Nginx Unit
#224This looks pretty cool, and makes me sad that Mongrel2 never became popular. In short: Mongrel2 solves the same problem, but does it by letting your application handle requests and websocket connections over ZeroMQ instead of eg FastCGI. I guess it lost momentum when ZeroMQ did. Anyone know why? Sounds like a dream solution in the current microservice hype. http://mongrel2.org/
microservices on their face seem cool, but in reality not so much. really, it's just SOA taken to an unnecessary extreme.
True. XML => Json.

Yeah I had a hard time finding out what this site did.
Lol, yep:
> NGINX Unit is a new, lightweight, open source application server built to meet the demands of today’s dynamic and distributed applications.
That means everything and nothing. They wasted their intro sentence on it. They probably don't have a very good idea of what it is either.

#226> Run multiple applications written in different languages on the same server
Amazing progress! Someone introduce them to CGI.

Technically, you can expose the Unit API within an internal network.
Why that still might not be a good idea: https://research.google.com/pubs/pub43231.html
Thanks for linking that. Typically, if you know what you are doing, a setup of this nature would be segmented out from the rest of internal network.
I did compliance work for a lot of start-ups and never came across a company that understood this concept. The majority thinks that their wireless router is already doing this via the Guest account.

I recently switched from zeromq to straight libuv sockets with jsonl (\n-separated json) payloads. Because I'm working inside a Node process, combining zmq's threading model with Node's threading model was a pain. Now, there's a single IO thread which is the same as the Javascript engine thread, and I can use uv_work to run CPU-intensive tasks on multiple cores.
Do you not allow \n inside your JSON or encode your JSON as base64? If not you might have problems with disambiguating frame ends from line breaks inside frames. A common way for framing is to prepend each frame with it's encoded length. That's easier, faster and less error-prone than searching for ASCII delimeters.
I'm generating the JSON, either with custom C++ marshaling routines or with JSON.stringify which doesn't include newlines unless you give it extra arguments. I believe that any valid JSON can be converted to a single line by changing any '\n' bytes to ' '. Literal '\n' bytes are not allowed inside strings, and outside strings any whitespace is equivalent.
Re: Nginx Unit
#229Sounds like uWSGI based on the description. I wonder how it'll play along with certain environments like Kubernetes.
More like a replacement for any wsgi server.

Right. And what is the relationship to nginx? What is the license? Maybe hidden somewhere, but not obvious when quickly trying to get a first impression on the phone screen.
EDIT: https://github.com/nginx/unit/blob/master/README.md is the better reading.
