pgloader VS Spring Boot

No, it's difficult to read, and understand. It's a parenthesis circus, example -

https://github.com/dimitri/pgloader/blob/master/src/sources/...

Examples (for Common Lisp, so not citing Emacs): reddit v1, Google's ITA Software that powers airfare search engines (Kayak, Orbitz…), Postgres' pgloader (http://pgloader.io/), which was re-written from Python to Common Lisp, Opus Modus for music composition, the Maxima CAS, PTC 3D designer CAD software (used by big brands worldwide), Grammarly, Mirai, the 3D editor that designed Gollum's face, the ScoreCloud app that lets you whistle or play an instrument and get the music score,

but also the ACL2 theorem prover, used in the industry since the 90s, NASA's PVS provers and SPIKE scheduler used for Hubble and JWT, many companies in Quantum Computing, companies like SISCOG, who plans the transportation systems of european metropolis' underground since the 80s, Ravenpack who's into big-data analysis for financial services (they might be hiring), Keepit (https://www.keepit.com/), Pocket Change (Japan, https://www.pocket-change.jp/en/), the new Feetr in trading (https://feetr.io/, you can search HN), Airbus, Alstom, Planisware (https://planisware.com),

or also the open-source screenshotbot (https://screenshotbot.io), the Kandria game (https://kandria.com/),

and the companies in https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies and on LispWorks and Allegro's Success Stories.

I worked on migrating our MySQL system to PostgreSQL using pgloader ( https://pgloader.io/ ).

There were some hiccups, things that needed clarification in documentation, and some additional processes that needed to be done outside of the system to get everything we need in place, it was a amazing help. Not sure the project would've been possible without it.

Data mapping from PostgreSQL to PostgreSQL as in the article isn't nearly as bad as going between systems. We took a full extended outage and didn't preload any data. There were many dry runs before hand and validation before hand, but the system wasn't so mission critical that we couldn't afford to shutoff the system for a couple of hours.

Initially, I started down the pgloader path, which seemed to be a common approach for the database conversion. However, using my M1-chip MacBook Pro led to some unexpected issues. Instead, I opted to use NMIG to convert MySQL to PostgreSQL. For more information, please check out the “Highlights From the Database Conversion” section below.

I just checked pgloader (which is mostly for heterogeneous database migrations) and it doesn't seem to have any explicit throttling features, either. However, you can set concurrency, number of workers, and batch size.

But do what makes you happy. The best PostgreSQL data loader in the world is written in Common Lisp. Now, CL is a fast and ANSI standardized language with multiple implementations, and was used to create Reddit, but it's hard to call it fashionable.

I would warmly recommend https://pgloader.io but, unfortunately, the Oracle support is still in need of a sponsor :-)

I followed instruction here: https://github.com/dimitri/pgloader/blob/master/INSTALL.md, but can't get pass sbcl requirement.

https://pgloader.io/ There's been a great tool available for this for many years.

- Usually manually wired and configured vs the spring boot "starter" pattern of having libraries that automatically do some of the manual setup work for you: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/main/spr...

I wish more client library sets had the feature-matrix that the pulsar one does, because in practice most end up being the same: Java supports everything because it's either built in the same codebase or is the most used client and gets the most support, while the dotnet client codebase has many feature-requests or performance improvement issues, often leading to a "third-party client" being created.

If you’re currently running with an earlier version of Spring Boot, I recommend that you upgrade to Spring Boot 2.7 before migrating to Spring Boot 3.0. It minimizes compatibility issues as much as possible.

Okay, we need to build the game? No problem, we will use Spring Boot and Swing!

It's weird that some people including you directly attack my competence. As a power user you should have plenty of experience getting something to work that is not properly document, does not work how the documentation promised it to, or has weird problems on top of it. Look at idiotic things like this:

https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/33044

Take any similar issue and you'll see a bunch of people who try to find a solution for them because they just aren't repeatable at all. The underlying issue is the auto configuration doing things you can't follow quite properly. It's like it wasn't mean to be understood. Issues like the one I linked above also show me that the spring dev crowd also doesn't understand the ecosystem anymore. The problem is complexity and automagic.

An interested reader can decide for themselves:

Explicitly decoding URL query parameters occurs less often because many frameworks, including Spring Boot, handle decoding automatically.
