Why HN links it
HN readers cite these posts on system architecture: real-time offline web apps with Swarm.js and React, microservices, and a Clojure NLP startup's architecture. Comments link them as descriptions of designs.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
> All requests go to a REST API which only returns head responses, and shoves the actual data response onto a queue. The websocket server reads off the queue and publishes the response to connected clients. This reads very similar to how IMAP is defined (it's not a request/response protocol). And Websocket seems like an overcomplication of the system as you need a WS-compatible server and broker, it would probably b…

HN discussionYou would use this where you need to take in a lot of data from multiple sources, and create some kind of information out of that, with soft real-time constraints. So, for instance, web analytics. Or Natural Language Processing, if the communication was between humans and machines, and the responses needed to be real-time. Think about getting a terabyte of data a day, or more. Or you can take a different approach, a…

HN discussionIt's worth remembering how painful SOAP was, and what a disaster the early implementations were, and how little agreement there was on anything, for many years. Pete Lacey has written a hilarious satire of the whole thing: http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/xml/soap/simple Maybe SOAP wasn't the entirety of SOA, but back then it was a big part of it. I agree the term "microservices" has been ruined by those who came i…

HN discussionI wrote about my experience at an NLP startup that used Clojure, and my blog post was discussed on Hacker News here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10662128 My blog post doesn't go into architectural details, but our architecture was nearly the same as that described by Matthias Nehlsen here: http://matthiasnehlsen.com/blog/2014/11/07/Building-Systems-...
