Hi , Musadiq Peerzada . Thanks for the informative post. So I assume that each order would be its own state machine ? I feel from a foundational standpoint, to understand how to maintain state between load balanced or restarting of a service would be a great follow up article ;)

I loooved space quest, also had a great run with Kings quest. :)

Hi, I'm introducing myself so this little thing on the left hopefully goes away and I don't have to see that I have even more pending tasks to worry about ;) Anyway down to business. I'm involved in a communications company that is a 1st tier voice and data provider. We developed our own voice routing and billing systems from the ground up, built and manage our own muti-pop VM and storage clusters and are pretty busy on the development of process automation and management portal side of the business currently. Heavy lifting type stuff (billing/routing engines) are developed in JAVA and we use NODE.js and VUE.js pretty much for everything else. Looking forward to Meeting you all :)

lol, yip. I do feel a bit old :) MSDOS 3.0 came on my very own IBM-XT 5mhz processor with xga screen. It was the business!!! It had a 10Mb drive and 640k memory. Remember booting that baby up :) Sooo simple but made me soooo happy :)
