@bkwilliams you code for scale from the beginning?
-
@bkwilliams I was working in front end code throughout the project. It looks like they did some build it in Visual Studio automagically generated code.
This was supposed to be a prototype system to be used in a small test group on a very short timeline. They just like it so much they wanted to bring it to full prod. -
@grumpyoldaf yeah, I just think differently.

@grumpyoldaf yeah, I just think differently.

@grumpyoldaf There is coding for scale and there is coding for not sucking donkeyballs. (100k records / year is not much at all)

@devTea No budget left. Most developers have moved from the project. The customer is reclaiming every dime unspent as “under budget”.
@ItsNotMyFault It is absolutely terrible coding but since none of us worked with EF before, what looked like a sane query isn’t because of eager loading. I find it crazy a performance trap like this even exists in EF.

@ItsNotMyFault oh I agree. I just thought “code for scale from the beginning hurr durr” was an equally stupid statement to make is all.
I hope they know what they're doing!
So apparently this is an official company in the UK
Last day of agile project i get asked for confirmation that the alpha system can handle 100000 records. We have had no load testing requests only feature pushes every sprint.
I see the back-end guys have used EF in a search function that eager joins a bunch of tables. Then the results get sorted and filtered in application code. It works fine for a few hundred records but the customer will do about 100k new records a year.
Yeah this won’t meet requirements. I wish they asked for some load testing before the last day. They aren’t going to like that one person can do a search every 15 seconds by the end of the year when I tell them. FML
