Adrian -

I appreciate that you spent time in writing this post. I know I've been up until 2am writing similarly long ones as well. I will take responsibility for having what is likely an irrational response (I blame Twitter for that) to the term "NoOps", but I invite you to investigate why that might be. I'm certainly not the only one who feels this way, apparently, and thus far have decided this issue is easily the largest distraction in my field I've encountered in recent years. I have had the option to simply ignore my opposition to the term, and just let the chips fall where they may with how popular the term "NoOps" may or may not get. I have obviously not taken that option in the past, but I plan to in the future.

You're not an analyst saying "NoOps". Analysts are easy (for me) to ignore, because they're not practitioners. We have expectations of engineering maturity from practitioners in this field of web engineering, especially those we consider leaders. I don't have any expectations from analysts,

Process Partitioning

Process Partitioning

The Problem

When working with large, high volume, low latency systems, it is often the case that processing data sequentially becomes detrimental to the system's health. If we only allow 1 process to work on our data we run into several challenges:

  • Our process may fall behind resulting in a situation which it is impossible for our process to catch up.
  • Our singleton process could crash and leave our system in a degraded state.
  • The average latency of data processing could be dramatically affected by outlying cases.
