On: Case against OOP is understated, not overstated (2020)

[hardolaf]

People also moved away from that paradigm because databases are slow. I work in the world of optimizing TLP level communications over PCI-e buses. To me, a database access is already in the world of "why bother?".

[ajuc → hardolaf]

We moved from

    DB <-> Front end

to

    DB <-(ORM)-> APP SERVER <-> FRONT END

I don't think it's any faster :)

[t00 → ajuc]

Simple reason - add local or distributed cache to the app server, scale it along front end horizontally and you can handle several orders of magnitude more traffic.
