A vector tile server I wrote last year using {plumber} does a decent job of fetching some reasonably hefty payloads from an sqlite database via {dplyr}. There's no JSON serialisation happening here, so that could be the part that's making {plumber} too slow for prod in that blog post that's circulating? 🤷‍♂️

@milesmcbain was wondering if @josiah has seen that blog post and has something to say about {valve}??

@jimgar @josiah they did address it in the blog post. Basically they felt it was too new, without enough users to be relied on.

@milesmcbain @josiah oh, my bad, didn’t see a specific mention. I read it yesterday morning… which means by now I may as well not have read it at all 👀

@jimgar @milesmcbain I need to read this more thoroughly. But ya, the hats definitely the case lol! I would suggest they try it (not put it in prod) in a low stakes way. Also works out of the box with {vetiver}.

Related to json, I never use jsonlite anymore. It’s slow. RcppSimdJson for parsing json and jsonify for creating it. I’m never turning back.

@josiah @milesmcbain I’ll have to look into these, thanks Josiah!

@josiah Can’t wait to read this after work. Have a feeling I’m gonna Learn Some Shit
