I was impressed by their use of GraphQL subscriptions. Real-time updates without WebSockets are quite clever.

True, but I'm not sure if that's scalable with an increasing user base. Thoughts?

Fascinating look into Glint's tech stack! I'm curious how they handle real-time updates with such a large user base?

Their stack is quite modern, but I'd be interested in their infrastructure cost numbers.

They mentioned using AWS Lambda for some serverless functions. Seems like it'd help reduce costs.

Anyone tried Glint? Is the UI as intuitive as they make it out to be in this article?

Yes, I tried it a few weeks ago. It was smooth and quite user-friendly. Loved the real-time commenting feature.

I preferred their competitor's UI, to be honest. Glint's focus on privacy kept them from implementing a more engaging layout.

Great use of Node.js and TypeScript! Would love to know more about their codebase organization and deployment process.

Yeah, I'm curious about the build and testing pipelines as well.

They used Hasura for their backend, which is amazing for real-time API management!

I'm wondering about their data security practices. Encryption at rest? Data lineage?

They discussed their encryption in the article, but nothing about data lineage. I would reach out to their team for more info.

Glint is built with DataDog for monitoring, so they should be aware of any data lineage concerns.

This app is a testament to the power of modern tech stacks. Well done, Glint team.
