Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link AKF Partners' tech blog for its scaling and architecture material, including the scale cube for splitting applications and microservices, and the strangler pattern for migrations.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
AKF Partners tells investors and technology leaders the truth about a platform, then brings the operating experience to lead the fix. Technical due diligence, consulting, and interim leadership.
What Hacker News says?
Because when you treat those three aspects of scaling as dimensions of a cube, you can visualize what it means to scale on different axes. See this diagram http://akfpartners.com/techblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/a... taken from http://akfpartners.com/techblog/2008/05/08/splitting-applica... . For in-depth discussion, see the book The Art of Scalability. http://theartofscalability.com/

HN discussionThere are ways, but definitely can be hard to get unstuck from framework.

I think it was this one: https://visualrecode.com/ He was also discussing the "Strangler Pattern": https://akfpartners.com/growth-blog/strangler-pattern-…
