Have you ever been involved in a microservice rewrite effort? Come with me as I take you through a Scala microservice coding adventure that was a complete rewrite of an existing Scala microservice. We shifted paradigms in the hope of making Scala more desirable. Was the new service a real improvement over the old one?…

Micro-Services: Scala vs Clojure
by glenn •
In my last blog, I compared Clojure to Scala when it came to coding micro-services. In this blog, I compare those same micro-services in terms of performance under load in AWS. Here are some answers to questions about the document below. In my next blog, I will share the outcome when comparing performance metrics for…

In a previous post, I compared Scala and Clojure when it came to processing big data. In this post, I am comparing Scala and Clojure in the world of micro-services. Earlier, I had written a rudimentary news feed service in Clojure. Recently, I re-implemented the same news feed service in Scala. Given the same task,…

Distributed Computing and Functional Programming
by glenn •
In a previous blog on some big data open source projects covered at OSCON 2014, I reviewed three distributed computing functional programming technologies by using them to write a simple aggregation report. In that blog, I mentioned reproducing the news feed performance map reduce job from a Clojure news feed service that I test ran…
