I made a discord server for us where I can share UX/UI tips, potential job connections, frontend knowledge and talk to all you guys! I’d love to get to know all of you and become friends :) discord.gg/QFuTudvccw
So basically they wrote a bad monolith (to grow the business) and had time and money (because they grew) to write it properly in microservices approach. Why am I not surprised?
Exactly this ! At the very beginning they literally were sending one or two guys taking pics of apartments (it was only NY available at the start) and one guy stayed by the server to restart it whenever it crashed (which was a regular occurrence). It's the way to go to build very small and focus on the business and once you actually have scaling issues then fix it. If you do premature optimisation and try to start my a complex architecture with a lot of microservices etc. you're doomed to fail. Once you're big you can tackle that challenge
The thing is that it is mostly not effective to start with a microservice infrastructure because of the relatively high maintanance cost. It is usefull when your service is distributed in different time zones and countries. But having a monolith for a long time is also critical as soon as you start expanding. So the major challenge still is to find an architecture that is scalable and works for the start and expansion.
Your videos are so well put together! It’s clear you put a lot of time and effort into making them, and it really pays off. You definitely deserve more recognition, I really always enjoy watching your amazing content. Good luck!
Switching to a service-oriented architecture, like Airbnb's Snow White update, ensures that individual services, such as a payment system, can be updated independently without affecting the entire backend. This decoupled structure minimizes the risk of outages and improves system reliability during updates.
Running your own hardware is much cheaper than cloud based infrastructure. The main downside is that upgrades are slow. Say need a message broker ? buy the servers, install them physically in the data center, configure network, install&conf the software, hook in monitoring etc etc.

Your videos are good. But can you tune down the corporate style? Too many sound effects and too many corporate style visuals and animations
Aws is the backbone of everything now

Why does the thumbnail say $20 Billion and the video title say $2 Billion?
She made a typo either in the Thumbnail or the Title
exactly

Nice video, as always
This deserves more views
So what did project snow white do or change in the backend ?

Micro services architecture
They were somewhat right, hotels are way better and cheaper than an airbnb this days
What a single code update can do XD
Doordash faced same issue in 2020, during lockdown, and even they ended up migrating to micro services architecture. But even that has its own issues.
could you explain why companies create physical data centers instead of using aws like services

i like your style
so they did a micro service rewrite in…?
Here to stop spoilers❤
288 for taxes no way
If llms get even 99% accurate even then😢
Make the title and thumbnail the same
good insight, but not a fan of the misleading click bait title
The background music is extremely sh**ty
I like it a lot
The concept behind $INFTY3 is novel. It might alter the established financial system.
