Talks

Monolith for the win

Even if multi-threading is not standardized yet, some Scheme implementations offer POSIX threads support, that allow doing things impossible in other dynamic languages like building database systems. Let's dream big and make the whole project a single code base and a distributed process using Scheme from the frontend to the backend and to run database queries. Let's see how the power of Scheme allows simplifying the architecture in a way that makes microservices and so-called serverless useless.
