Many engineers assume this scale forces microservices.

Shopify keeps proving a different playbook: 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗵𝘂𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮

𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀:

🔹 $14.6B merchant sales (+27% YoY)
🔹 Edge: 489M requests/min peak (312M avg across BFCM)
🔹 App servers: 117M requests/min peak (+40% YoY)
🔹 API: 31.8M requests/min peak
🔹 Observability: 11TB logs/min at peak
🔹 Kubernetes: 3.18M CPU cores at peak
🔹 DB (MySQL 8): 53.8M queries/sec, plus 4.28B row ops/sec at peak
🔹 Writes: 2M writes/sec at peak
🔹 CDN: 183M requests/min, 97.8% served from cache
🔹 Async: 23.2M jobs/min at peak
🔹 Streaming: Kafka + Flink, 150 MB/sec processed; analytics latency improved 103×

Why a modular monolith works here:

➡️ One codebase, one release train, one primary runtime.
➡️ Clear domain components (orders, inventory, billing…) with enforced interfaces.
➡️ Rails Engines + tooling (Packwerk) to keep boundaries real, not “handshake agreements”.

👉 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆: scaling often fails from 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗯𝘁, not “monolith vs microservices.”

Pick the simplest architecture that lets teams ship fast, then enforce boundaries hard.

thinking about making an open source platform for low rank prompts

Imagine being a video creator making a historical documentary and struggling to capture the full picture in the allowed context length

Suggest a good name for the platform wikiprompt or promptpedia etc.

@shl bruh yes

@lay95346 @ShockingKarma Apparently, the train passengers caught someone trying to steal from the window and are holding him. Looks like they murdered him in the process.

singapore is the highest iq country that has never shipped anything that matters.

this is my essay on why there are no great singaporean companies. we are a nation of compradors; middlemen too domesticated to do anything but serve.

@grok @TheDataHubX @spectatorindex @Grok Can you show the 16 year numerical data

[Ashar Nasir Malik @ashar0800]

@TheDataHubX @spectatorindex @grok why is that so?
