I and my friend are trying to launch a product(something like Instagram for a niche market) However, both of us don't have any experience with hosting yet. We need someplace to host that can support at least a 100 or so people so that we can at least show it to others before we can launch it. So is AWS Free Tier good for that, or should we look for some alternatives?
I have been learning to program on and off for a year now, and recently I tried to take it up again seriously. But, when trying to learn new things I am having problems in understanding the basic things like how is work-stealing scheduler like go's is different from node's event loop or how are synchronous and blocking different from each other. I have tried asking such questions on stack...
When hiring someone as a junior developer, what do you look for if they don't have a college degree?
If pushed absolutely to its limit, how can one make full use of it?
What kind of role did Rust play at making Firefox fast, if any at all?
I recently came across Kotlin. I understand JetBrains is betting big on it by sponsoring development for native targets. Also, I find the learning curve for Kotlin to be lesser than Go. But can Kotlin Native give the same performance as Go?
I am a noob, learning things on my own. So lately I have been trying to understand how one should go about designing the architecture a non-trivial and fairly large web app and I came across the word micro-services. I tried googling, but that just made me more confused on what the term is. So some examples and explanation would be really helpful.
Will Rust continue to remain as a niche language that sometimes people choose as an alternative for C++ or Go, or will it see a rise in adaption soon?
By data intensive I meant something where we have to make multiple requests for similar data, but not quite the same. If I understand correctly, graphql is there to help with such cases. But, I may be wrong, I am new to this.
Just curiosity.
Why do we need to use a vDOM to gain performance? Why aren't efforts being made to make DOM itself fast? Is the DOM really slow enough to justify the extra dependency of a vDOM?
I am new to these stuffs. So as I understand HTTP/2 comes with some improvements over HTTP/1.1. So how can HTTP/2 be used for data intensive request without needing to use GraphQL?
