Does anybody have experience launching a web application with Java recently as compared to more modern framework and does anyone have any feedback?
Thank you!
The project requires a high number of Websocket connections and concurrency features - which technically speaking, makes Phoenix a great tool for the job.
My only concern is about wether there is a strong enough community to keep the project going for years and years to come. Jose Valim and Chris McCord have been doing an incredible job and I respect them to the nth degree.
My question to the community is twofold - does anyone have thoughts on the future of the Phoenix Framework, and has anyone made a gamble on an upcoming technology that turned out to be the right or totally wrong decision?
I'm building a website that revolves around advertising on Instagram. It relies heavily on their API for sign up and creation of user profiles. It does not violate their Terms of Use. I've been building an MVP. I'm concerned that they may cut off API access of it gains traction post launch. Does anybody have experience with a similar situation and care to share how it played out? Also, is it worth trying to talk to someone at Instagram before hand?
PS. I think I've seen Mike Krieger comment on HN before, would love to hear his thoughts if anybody would be willing to forward this link to him.
