We are in the process of building a modern content platform to deliver our content through various channels. We decided to go with Microservices architecture as we wanted scale. Microservice architecture style is an approach to developing an application as a suite of small independently deployable services built around specific business capabilities. You can gain modularity, extensive parallelism and cost-effective scaling by deploying services across many distributed servers. Microservices modularity facilitates independent updates/deployments, and helps to avoid single point of failure, which can help prevent large-scale outages.\nWe also decided to use Event Driven Architecture pattern which is a popular distributed asynchronous architecture pattern used to produce highly scalable applications. The event-driven architecture is made up of highly decoupled, single-purpose event processing components that asynchronously receive and process events.\n\n

To build our #Backend capabilities we decided to use the following:\n1. #Microservices - Java with Spring Boot , Node.js with ExpressJS and Python with Flask \n2. #Eventsourcingframework - Amazon Kinesis , Amazon Kinesis Firehose , Amazon SNS , Amazon SQS, AWS Lambda \n3. #Data - Amazon RDS , Amazon DynamoDB , Amazon S3 , MongoDB Atlas \n\n

To build #Webapps we decided to use Angular 2 with RxJS \n\n

When you think about test automation, it’s crucial to make it everyone’s responsibility (not just QA Engineers'). We started with Selenium and Java, but with our platform revolving around Ruby, Elixir and JavaScript, QA Engineers were left alone to automate tests. Cypress was the answer, as we could switch to JS and simply involve more people from day one. There's a downside too, as it meant testing on Chrome only, but that was \"good enough\" for us + if really needed we can always cover some specific cases in a different way.","private":false,"viewCount":4113262,"publishedAt":"2019-12-23T11:48:09Z","upvotesCount":28,"decisionType":"tool","fromTools":[{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"Tool:101231774063724150","typename":"Tool"}],"toTools":[{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"Tool:101231778053837910","typename":"Tool"}],"subjectTools":[{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"Tool:101231778053837910","typename":"Tool"},{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"Tool:101231774063724150","typename":"Tool"}],"services":[{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"Tool:101231774063724150","typename":"Tool"},{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"Tool:101231773838011785","typename":"Tool"},{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"Tool:101231773835511567","typename":"Tool"},{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"Tool:101231774237595825","typename":"Tool"},{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"Tool:101231773939333405","typename":"Tool"},{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"Tool:101231778053837910","typename":"Tool"}],"topics":[],"__typename":"StackDecision"},"$StackDecision:103356936364529702.company":{"imageUrl":"https://img.stackshare.io/company/29444/default_f292b7432398c825a68b4fbe8ddbedc9c135b2a1.png","thumbUrl":"https://img.stackshare.io/company/29444/thumb_f292b7432398c825a68b4fbe8ddbedc9c135b2a1.png","name":"Fresha","path":"/companies/fresha","features":[],"__typename":"Company"},"Tool:101231774063724150":{"id":"101231774063724150","name":"Selenium","slug":"selenium","title":"Web Browser Automation","verified":false,"imageUrl":"https://img.stackshare.io/service/1517/sbUizSli_400x400.jpg","canonicalUrl":"/selenium","path":"/selenium","votes":527,"fans":15493,"stacks":15745,"followingTool":false,"followContext":null,"__typename":"Tool","thumbUrl":"https://img.stackshare.io/service/1517/thumb_sbUizSli_400x400.jpg"},"$Tool:101231773838011785.stackDecisions({\"first\":6}).edges.1":{"node":{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"StackDecision:103356936364529702","typename":"StackDecision"},"__typename":"StackDecisionEdge"},"User:103765180708785071":{"id":"103765180708785071","username":"keinsell","title":"Node.js Software Engineer","companyName":"","imageUrl":"https://img.stackshare.io/user/421186/default_7cb64e3be897c37ec21b411878cbf813731d1c86.jpeg","thumbUrl":"https://img.stackshare.io/user/421186/thumb_7cb64e3be897c37ec21b411878cbf813731d1c86.jpeg","displayName":"Jakub Olan","__typename":"User"},"StackDecision:103776818977450459":{"user":{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"User:103765180708785071","typename":"User"},"company":{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$StackDecision:103776818977450459.company","typename":"Company"},"link":null,"publicId":"103776818977450459","id":"103776818977450459","htmlContent":"

Hi Community! Trust everyone is keeping safe. I am exploring the idea of building a #Neobank (App) with end-to-end banking capabilities. In the process of exploring this space, I have come across multiple Apps (N26, Revolut, Monese, etc) and explored their stacks in detail. The confusion remains to be the Backend Tech to be used? \r\n\r\n

We are in the process of building a modern content platform to deliver our content through various channels. We decided to go with Microservices architecture as we wanted scale. Microservice architecture style is an approach to developing an application as a suite of small independently deployable services built around specific business capabilities. You can gain modularity, extensive parallelism and cost-effective scaling by deploying services across many distributed servers. Microservices modularity facilitates independent updates/deployments, and helps to avoid single point of failure, which can help prevent large-scale outages. We also decided to use Event Driven Architecture pattern which is a popular distributed asynchronous architecture pattern used to produce highly scalable applications. The event-driven architecture is made up of highly decoupled, single-purpose event processing components that asynchronously receive and process events.

To build our #Backend capabilities we decided to use the following: 1. #Microservices - Java with Spring Boot , Node.js with ExpressJS and Python with Flask 2. #Eventsourcingframework - Amazon Kinesis , Amazon Kinesis Firehose , Amazon SNS , Amazon SQS, AWS Lambda 3. #Data - Amazon RDS , Amazon DynamoDB , Amazon S3 , MongoDB Atlas

To build #Webapps we decided to use Angular 2 with RxJS

#Devops - GitHub , Travis CI , Terraform , Docker , Serverless

When you think about test automation, it’s crucial to make it everyone’s responsibility (not just QA Engineers'). We started with Selenium and Java, but with our platform revolving around Ruby, Elixir and JavaScript, QA Engineers were left alone to automate tests. Cypress was the answer, as we could switch to JS and simply involve more people from day one. There's a downside too, as it meant testing on Chrome only, but that was "good enough" for us + if really needed we can always cover some specific cases in a different way.

In our company we have think a lot about languages that we're willing to use, there we have considering Java, Python and C++ . All of there languages are old and well developed at fact but that's not ideology of araclx. We've choose a edge technologies such as Node.js , Rust , Kotlin and Go as our programming languages which is some kind of fun. Node.js is one of biggest trends of 2019, same for Go. We want to grow in our company with growth of languages we have choose, and probably when we would choose Java that would be almost impossible because larger languages move on today's market slower, and cannot have big changes.

Hi Community! Trust everyone is keeping safe. I am exploring the idea of building a #Neobank (App) with end-to-end banking capabilities. In the process of exploring this space, I have come across multiple Apps (N26, Revolut, Monese, etc) and explored their stacks in detail. The confusion remains to be the Backend Tech to be used?

What would you go with considering all of the languages such as Node.js Java Rails Python are suggested by some person or the other. As a general trend, I have noticed the usage of Node with React on the front or Node with a combination of Kotlin and Swift. Please suggest what would be the right approach!

Java Alternatives & Comparisons

What are some alternatives to Java?
C lang
Abstract
Abstract builds upon and extends the stable technology of Git to host and manage your work.
Golang
Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language.
Python
Python is a general purpose programming language created by Guido Van Rossum. Python is most praised for its elegant syntax and readable code, if you are just beginning your programming career python suits you best.
Scala
Scala is an acronym for “Scalable Language”. This means that Scala grows with you. You can play with it by typing one-line expressions and observing the results. But you can also rely on it for large mission critical systems, as many companies, including Twitter, LinkedIn, or Intel do. To some, Scala feels like a scripting language. Its syntax is concise and low ceremony; its types get out of the way because the compiler can infer them.
