Yeah, I think it helps that we're very intentionally lean (we currently have just 2 engineers servicing about 100,000 paid subscribers, which is a bit too lean for comfort for me, but at least makes us think very hard about introducing complexity).
- jack_riminton 5y agoI’ve often thought that this would be a good constraint i.e instead of hiring a dev ops to migrate to a complicated AWS/k8 setup, it might be better to spend that wage on added Heroku costs to keep things simple
- ryanbrunner 5y agoEven in the AWS world, there's simpler options than k8. We run a pretty basic elastic beanstalk setup that serves us well enough. A big part of that is having a monolithic service though, most of the complexity either disappears or becomes pointless when your stack is just app servers, a DB and redis.
