Do you have a blog post about it or something? I don't have specific questions, I'd just love to see how Nix looks in production.

- teh 10y agoNo high level overview, just a fairly specific (and sadly slightly out of date) one here: https://blog.wearewizards.io/how-to-use-nixops-in-a-team https://blog.wearewizards.io/how-to-use-nixops-in-a-team It's still Linux but a lot of common problems go away. E.g. if you remove a user from your config then it's removed on the server (as opposed to Ansible). Or: Because you have a dependency DAG all services that need restarting after a change are known (no more Chef notifies :restart). Or: No more apt-get dist-upgrade. You can have a single package depend on an entirely new version of your OS and keep the old OS in place (except for the kernel version of course).
