I'm guessing, but IMO when you're dealing with load balancing, services and data pipelines you're at a scale where you should be able to hire qualified people to do the job so the docs are geared towards that audience.
- aaavl2821 8y agoYou're probably right re load balancing, data pipelines and some services, but i think security is important regardless of scale, esp if it's an enterprise app. Even simpler concepts like structuring and deployment of larger apps, database migration, creating dev, staging and production environments, test development etc would be really useful. These things are important even at low scale, and generally absent from tutorials. Learning this on your own without mentors or CS background creates lots of issues
- cs02rm0 8y agoI've seen comments on this article elsewhere around load balancing not being needed until you're at scale, but do others not put it in quickly, not for volume, but for availability?
- rubber_duck 8y agoAgain - when you need something to be available you probably want someone who knows what he's doing from start setting it up. Not saying you can't or shouldn't do it but it's not surprising that there's not a lot of newbie friendly tutorials for such things.
- fgonzag 8y agoSetting up HA LBs isn't hard though. Two load balanced IPS in your DNS hitting each external load balancer IP, LBs have keepalived configured with two floating VIPs each. I learnt that on the fly when having to build an HA service without the economic resources usually associated with doing so. ( Databases and routers/firewalls were a whole different beast though)
