  • A RESTful service is (usually as of today) a JSON API. They aren’t mutually exclusive things.

    There’s no black and white definition there.

    However, when someone is creating a RESTful service, they’re stating that they’ll be paying mind to HTTP Verbs and status codes as a fundamental part of their design.

    In the original image posted, that dev clearly wasn’t paying mind to the HTTP layer and as such a commenter called it just a “JSON API”, which is the catchall, ugly, Wild West, typical way of doing things.

    Once again tho, it’s not black and white. Others can and will disagree and want to be pedantic. I’ve been a professional dev for 35 years, devs love to argue abt this shit.

    I feel the same way about your clickbait content behind videos. Please be mindful that this is a text based site used for discussion and enlightenment. Your ancient clickbait is annoying to me.

    I’m not alone. Read the room. See the votes.

    You’re not required to acknowledge or reply to my opinion. But I felt compelled to share.






  • Clickhouse has a unique performance gain when you have a system that isn’t operational data that is normalized and updated often. But rather tables of timeseries data being ingested for write only.

    An example, stock prices or order books in real-time. Tens of thousands per second. Clickhouse can write, merge, aggregate records really nicely.

    Then selects against ordered data with aggregates are lightning fast. It has lots of nuances to learn and has really powerful capability, but only for this type of use case.

    It doesn’t have atomic transactions. Updates and deletes are very poor performing.
