    Great content, but what do you think about the role of Rust and Go in building such systems? How do they compare to more 'traditional' choices like Java or C++?

    • scaling_expert 1 year ago | next

      Rust is gaining popularity due to its memory safety guarantees without sacrificing performance. Go's performance and simplicity make it a good choice for distributed systems who don't need complex multi-threading. Both are strong options but the final choice should be based on the team's expertise and needs of the system.

      Don't overlook C++ for high-performance services! It has a mature ecosystem, a ton of libraries, and experienced developers, making it a strong candidate.
