As an ops guy: You’re absolutely right.
For better or worse I’m constantly annoyed by developers trying be “special”. Most projects involve stuffing things into a database, calling a webservice and reading stuff back. Don’t try to be clever about it, just stick to one type of database and Springboot so we can all go home and sleep with no incidents.
But there are projects which really do need to be different, and we don’t deal with them well, and they don’t scale.
- hnthrowaway0315 5y agoI don't blame the devops guys though, I think this is a corporate thing as teams have to follow procedures and devops are not an exception (to waive some rules for us). I just hope it's a lot easier if we can just use a VM instead, but that would need to go through security certification. I wonder how other companies deal with this kind of issues, eventually my previous team decided to host the app on one of the laptops and tell clients to visit a "192.168.0.X:port".
- digianarchist 5y agoNothing better than a team that doesn't use the internal platform. They go and write their own scripts, tools and terraform only for the developers responsible to leave the company. They found another way to skin the cat purely because they didn't like the existing approach and didn't want the hassle of getting changes integrated upstream.
