Meetup 146: Timestamps for event ordering, entrepreneurship exp. sharing [Eng]
Happy New Year y'all.
JUG is back, with a welcoming story to kickstart 2024 about Timestamps, and to complement it we have a less technical part - all you always wanted to know about building a successful company from your idea, from someone who did it and is happy to share the story.
We hope it will be a food for thought and an inspiration to you all after a tough 2023
Talk: Do Not Use Timestamps for Ordering!
In this talk we examine why using timestamps for ordering application events will get you in trouble in a distributed environment. First we define partial, causal, and total order. Second, we look at implementations. And finally, we look at the most important takeaway of the talk, why timestamps would be a flawed implementation.
In the second part, Luis will be happy to answer your questions about how he turned his idea into a company that generates millions of sales
