I write code, delete email and forget to go to meetings at Meta, mainly on glean.software. Spare time: bikes and mountains.

Thrift is what we used at Meta. github.com/facebookincu... It's one of the things I call a "Big Hammer" - so useful you can't do without it, and once you buy into it for your software ecosystem, it becomes a single point of leverage. I'm in the process of putting the packages on Hackage.

Haha! I'd love to know which tidbits of advice have risen to this level, it might be useful if I'm reorganising things.

Perhaps a chapter on Thrift would be a more useful replacement for the distributed-process chapter.

Yeah, there's actually a bounded version of mapConcurrently that we ended up using at Meta for most simple IO parallelism use cases, I'm considering adding this to async github.com/facebookincu...
