The way I read the article, the “code” being talked about is not necessarily application code but the IaC used to provision the actual infrastructure.
That is, the target audience is the sysadmin who would provision the PHP/FTP server and discussing how to sanely manage that as the fleet grows with slightly separate but mostly similar differences between instances.
Maybe you as a web developer don’t want this complexity but a lot of it is inherent and someone has to deal with it at the end of the day.
- cyanydeez 5y agoi read it as semantic satiation. all hes done is change the terms, but you still have snowflakes because some system somewhere is cofiguring your snosflakes.
- joshuamorton 5y agoIf the snowflake is defined as class SnowflakeConfig(NormalConfig): # Normally this is 6, but for staging it has to be 2 foo = 2 and then you have something like deployments: us-east-1.prod: NormalConfig us-east-1.staging = SnowflakeConfig is it really the same? Granted, I don't think the article actually suggests that as a solution, so I don't think it provides a great response.
