Registration Does Not Scale Well

Read Original

This technical article critiques the common 'registration' pattern used in configuration systems, where objects are mapped to strings in a global registry. It argues that while useful for small projects, this pattern forces all registered code and its dependencies to load at import time, creating significant performance and developer ergonomics overhead at large scale. The author proposes adhering to a 'pay for what you use' philosophy and suggests avoiding object registries in favor of more scalable alternatives.
