Finagle Reviews and Details

• Features of Project Loom incorporated in Java 21

  Not sure about now but a few years back the company I worked for was heavily vested in Finagle [1] using Future pools. I'm sure virtual threads would only enhance this framework. Also, Spring and it's reactive webflux would probably benefit as well [2].

• Twitter (re)Releases Recommendation Algorithm on GitHub

  Don't really see how "enterprise scala" has anything to do with this, scala is meant to be parallelized , that's like it's whole thing with akka / actors / twitter's finagle (https://twitter.github.io/finagle/). Source: over 3 years ago

• Pretty incredible thread where Elon confuses how GraphQL works, thinks the Android client itself is making one thousand requests, and then publicly fires an employee who corrects him.

• Pretty incredible thread where Elon confuses how GraphQL works, thinks the Android client itself is making one thousand requests, and then publicly fires an employee who corrects him.

  You can even see it mentioned in Finagle's project, which is what Twitter uses https://twitter.github.io/finagle/. Source: over 3 years ago

• Elon Musk publicly feuding with and firing his developers on Twitter

  RPC generally means server side calls, probably this https://twitter.github.io/finagle/, and XHR is not RPC. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• You worked on it? Why is it slow then?

  Twitter is a Scala shop and specifically uses Finagle - a homegrown RPC framework based on Apache Thrift. Https://twitter.github.io/finagle/. Source: over 3 years ago

• What is a service mesh?

  When breaking up a monolithic app into microservices, the communication between these services becomes vital to the health and performance of the application. Technically, you could incorporate the features to manage this traffic directly into your application. This is what Twitter, Google, and Netflix did with massive internal libraries like Finagle, Stubby, and Hysterix. - Source: dev.to / almost 4 years ago

• Real World Micro Services

  I think the more interesting aspect of this is the framework being used: https://github.com/micro/micro I haven't dug into it at all yet, but at a glance it looks like it's aiming to do something similar to what Go kit (https://gokit.io/) or Finagle (https://twitter.github.io/finagle/) does, where it gives you a nice abstraction for defining your "service" and then handles all the supplementary aspects (service... - Source: Hacker News / almost 4 years ago

• Purge the board of directors of Twacker.

  I’m a software engineer. Twitter’s original code was REALLY good - they open sourced some of it back in the day). They still need tech talent to keep it site running smoothly. Source: about 4 years ago

• Fun with generics: REST HTTP handler proof-of-concept

  This comes dangerously close to functional services as popularized by Twitter et al and encapsulated in the well known Finagle library. I don’t know but I strongly suspect /u/peterbourgon was heavily influenced by this while developing the notion of Endpoints in his reasonably well known go-kit library, although it’s significantly less general due mostly to limitations in Go’s type system.

• Akka became the de-facto solution for Scala web development?

  Finagle, possibly with Finch on top. Source: almost 5 years ago

• Unix and Microservice Platforms

  OK, so let's say you follow this approach. Twitter did precisely this with their Finagle RPC system. Functionality like request metrics, traffic splitting, retries, and more was coded once and then shared across every service at Twitter. Well, that is, every service at Twitter that runs on the JVM. - Source: dev.to / almost 5 years ago
