Getting rid of N+1 query code is so satisfying.

I am excited that we're starting to experiment with GraphQL at Strava. It took me a while to really grok some of the benefits, but once I did - I was hooked. x.com/StravaEng/stat…

🎙New Podcast: The Engineering Story Of @strava with Pan Thomakos soundcloud.com/marathon-vc/ep…

👏👏👏 Hopefully you didn't notice any changes, but the Strava Engineering Web team just release an upgrade to Rails 5.

Come hear Pan Thomakos regale us with a weird Rack bug, Tues Nov 13 at Braintree ! meetup.com/fogcityruby/ev…

I finally put together a proposal for concurrent evaluation of lazy objects in GraphQL Ruby. github.com/rmosolgo/graph… This effectively allows you to execute batched queries or network calls in parallel in GraphQL in #Ruby.

I'm so proud of the Web guild at Strava for landing this massive Rails upgrade. Kudos Harini! x.com/StravaEng/stat…

There are 1 hard problems in computer science.

If you're using GraphQL via Scala/Sangria in production I would love to talk to you!

I had to work with Twitter futures and Scala futures in the same program today... I also learned there are different kinds of futures. Strong stance on the whole destiny question in Scala.

I fixed a 3n+1 query problem this week - happy about that part. I would have told you sooner but it took me a while to figure out if I had the correct constant term.

Anyone have experience or lessons learned from using union types to model common errors (not found, downstream service unavailable) in GraphQL schemas? Similar to x.com/alloy/status/1… but for query operations instead of mutation operations.

Theme of #graphqlsummit so far: caching. It's possible and everyone's doing it.

Today is my last day at Strava/Strava Engineering. It's been an absolute honor working with everyone here over the past decade. I've made friendships that will last for a long time and I wish you all the best in the years to come. More about what I'm doing next, next week.

Today is my first day as a Principal Engineer Freehand by InVision! I'm so excited to be joining this awesome team and entirely remote company.

Microservice vs monolith is so often discussed/debated in the SaaS realm. Here's an interesting read that outlines the reasons for converting Istio to a monolith from Christian Posta: blog.christianposta.com/microservices/….

I finally blogged again! I wrote about about our Freehand multi-player architecture and some recent optimizations. medium.com/invision-engin…

Really enjoyed this article. Time spent vs time _well_ spent. reforge.com/blog/balancing…
