Same as well. Basically authentication->firebase, authorization->backend api (I normally write custom python decorators for this)
Thanks for the response.
Is your use of ‘website’ intentional? As opposed to web application?
Website -> generally static so use classic web tool (which jamstack is alternative)
Web app -> classic user app with need for writing to db?
Okay cool, so sort of like with a db with only a read action. But the benefit is that it’s super quick load time because of cdn cache?
Thanks for this.
I guess as a backend dev I see static pages as a cute website, rather than a full application, so struggle to see the huge benefit.
Unless I'm missing something, and you can cache most of the site as static, leaving a hole where the db content gets injected?
Ah this is great, thanks.
I'm confused by the same thing. I just came across Strapi, which seems really cool for building CMSs but I'm not sure how it works exactly.
Will check out your thread
Ask HN: how would you explain how/when you use Jamstack to a python backend dev?

The only use case I've come across Keycloak is for China auth where we can't use firebase
Same. I feel like I'm missing something by the vast majority of other comments saying roll their own/unknown third party
I got it working a couple of weeks ago
I've tended just to go with the quickest and easiest thing for me, which is firebase + jwts.
I'd be interested to know points to migrate away from firebase/google dependencies. I struggle to use anything else as it's so easy to get all the social logins set up...
Same here. Superb summary of all the core concepts
Wow, this website is a blast from the past. Pretty sure I owe a lot of my physics degree down to this website

Sorry for the waffle...those terms are all from the DDD blue book.
Agreed with the common sense. I guess that I just find it a bit lacking that such a core skill for engs is glossed over as common sense, when it might be helpful for junior/mid engs to have this on their radar that they should be thinking deeply about. And therefore techniques or guidance on how to do it well
That's my biggest takeaway as well. Which is, as a cross functional team, the thing we should be talking the most about it is the domain. Not components in other layers as they are generally team specific
These are exactly my thoughts:
> intuitive sense of those concepts and thus put off by what appears to be an overly formal treatise on obvious principles
I do however feel like there it would be helpful for junior/mid engs if there were a stripped down version of the blue book which defines vocab, obvious principle as you say, as general guidance for domain analysis/modelling
What I like about the principles: - ubiquitous language, close working between eng/experts
What I don't like about the details: - categorising things as aggregates, entities, value objects, context boundaries
I understand why it might help to classify certain things but I also feel that some things don't fit well in that framework. For example, you might have an entity that is core between two aggregates and sits as bridge object e.g. at an edtech app, an exam instance (a sitting) would sit between two separate aggregates of (exam) and (products/store/ecommerce)
I actually went in the opposite path to you. First reading the blue book, and then reading (and implementing Architecture Patterns in Python).
I really liked APwP but I found that it did over complicate matters.
