We had a fantastic opportunity to interview the superb Adam Smith about Para (www.usepara.com) and how they’ve utilized Golem.
Adam: My name is Adam Smith. I’m a founding engineer at Para, and I do all-things Engineering.
Adam: Para is a voice-marketing platform focusing on personalization at scale.
Adam: Actually, I wasn’t even looking for a solution. One of our engineers brought up the idea of Durable Computing and linked to a Golem article. That is how I learned about Durable Computing and became my first steps into it.
Adam: It was a foreign concept at first, but we eventually realized how powerful Durable Computing could be to just simplify your code and make everything much more reliable, so you can sleep at night.
Adam: It’s really all about the reliability for me.
Adam: I think most of the time we’re writing code to prevent failures, so most of the work we’re doing is focused on writing the code needed to prevent the bad things that could happen in traditional infrastructure. When you take all of that away, you can just focus on your application logic and not worry about all of that. It’s amazing.
Adam: I would say to definitely give it a try, see if it’s right for you. I think that with the state of WASM right now, it’s a bit early in the game. As it matures a little bit more, everyone will be using this.
Adam: The use of WASM is very innovative and very low latency and very scalable.
Adam: They’re incredible. Everyone’s very knowledgeable. Very helpful. Willing to go the extra mile. We loved working with Golem.
Adam: It would be really cool to see how the UI matures, just to have more full features and user interface. Also, first-class support for database drivers would be great.
