You know your stack best. I appreciate the insights you have into your process and workflow. Do you use anything special to bridge vlans like Tailscale or WireG

  Thanks, indeed. P2P file distribution is an interesting idea, but doesn't really solve any major problems here. ~3mb file to a lot of machines in an hour a few times a week. Simplest solution is that each machine can just download the file itself. The data centers don't need to talk to each other at all. We use wg at each dc for vpn access. I do need to spend a bit more time with my own wg client setup so that I can switch between dc's more easily... right now it is kind of a manual process and that is definitely a pain. One of these days...

    I’ve heard that there is third party tooling that makes managing wg easier but I haven’t really looked into that space. I need to do it though, as that’s one of the major pain points of wg, that each client needs to be whitelisted serverside essentially. Edit: Maybe something simple like rsync or rclone would be best for the update sync/distribution mechanism rather than BT.

      A binary diff (or even plugin) mechanism could potentially optimize the download size even further. Such that only the parts of the app that change need to be downloaded. That said, for now, downloading the binary really is a solved problem for me, with a relatively simple solution. I'd rather work on new features that drive revenue. =)

        It’s always good to have some Friday afternoon projects around too! :P
