rod VS NATS

I have tried the following. 1. Login to Okta via browser programatically using go-rod. Which I managed to do so successfully, but I'm failing to load up Slack as it's stuck in the browser loader screen for Slack. 2. I tried to authenticate via Okta RESTful API. So far, I have managed to authenticate using {{domain}}/api/v1/authn, and then subsequently using MFA via the verify endpoint {{domain}}/api/v1/authn/factors/{{factorID}}/verify which returns me a sessionToken. From here, I can successfully create a sessionCookie which have proven quite useless to me. Perhaps I am doing it wrongly.

I usually find libraries by googling them or searching awesome go on GitHub, for selenium/puppeteer I've always found go-rod useful and easy in every way, Sometimes I also Google "X in Nodejs for Golang"

I recently tried out https://github.com/go-rod/rod. I think it's based on chromedp (so, Chrome dev tools and headless browser) but it also has code to download and run a supported version of Chrome that doesn't interfere with your local browser.

One of the dependencies is `rod`[0], which is a web scraping/automation library, and I believe requires a browser to work. I don't know what they're using it for though as I haven't looked at the code (and I'm not familiar with Go anyways).

I don't have personal experience, but https://github.com/go-rod/rod is far more active than chromedp

Several message brokers, such as NATS and database queues, are not supported by OpenTelemetry (OTel) SDKs. This article will guide you on how to use context propagation explicitly with these message queues.

I guess I don't need to know what it is

During our interview, we referred to NATS quite a few times! If you want to learn more about it, Sebastian suggests this tutorial series.

Pueue dumps the state of the queue to the disk as JSON every time the state changes, so when you have a lot of queued jobs this results in considerable disk io. I actually changed it to compress the state file via zstd which helped quite a bit but then eventually just moved on to running NATS [1] locally.

Imagine you have an AI-powered personal alerting chat assistant that interacts using up-to-date data. Whether it's a big move in the stock market that affects your investments, any significant change on your shared SharePoint documents, or discounts on Amazon you were waiting for, the application is designed to keep you informed and alert you about any significant changes based on the criteria you set in advance using your natural language. In this post, we will learn how to build a full-stack event-driven weather alert chat application in Python using pretty cool tools: Streamlit, NATS, and OpenAI. The app can collect real-time weather information, understand your criteria for alerts using AI, and deliver these alerts to the user interface.

Why wasn't NATS[1] used ?

Written in Go, single-binary deployment... there's a lot to love about NATS !

require nats.io

About cost, see [1]. Also, S3 prices have been increasing and there's been a bunch of alternative offers for object store from other companies. I think people in here (HN) comment often about increasing costs of AWS offerings.

Distributed systems and consensus are inherently hard problem, but there are a lot of implementations that you can study (like Etcd that you mention, or NATS [2], which I've been playing with and looks super cool so far :-p) if you want to understand the internals, on top of many books and papers released.

Again, I never said it was "easy" to build distributed systems, I just don't think there's any esoteric knowledge to what S3 provides.

I am in a project were nats.io is used. Someone thought, it would be a great idea to link data in an event with data in a response using the response channel name.
