VampBrite's Engineering Culture

internally, we've been migrating VampBrite to a microservices model. We have a protocol we call PySower. It's a sort of service oriented architecture in Python using Redis as a message bus. The thing I'm personally excited about the Redis stream stuff because I love Kafka except for the bit where you have to set it up, which is a night. But Redis streams gives you the same primitives, but it's Redis, which I can run anywhere and is available on all projects. And if you look at Heroku Kafka, it starts at like $50 a month, so it's not easy to pace.
