Installing a managed log ingestor is stupidly easy in Kubernetes. For example, on GCP here's the guide to getting it done [1]. Two kubectl commands, and you get centralized logging across hundreds of nodes in your cluster and thousands

I disagree, almost entirely. Kubernetes solves problems that every single cloud-based software company has. What's the alternative? We spin up VMs, templated with AMIs, provisioned with an ASG? That works fine. But we want centralized

Office 365's $10/user/month plan does not come with email. Its essentially just Active Directory + Office. You need to pay $15/user/month to add Exchange ($12.50/user/month with annual contract).

The bigger concern should be that databases like MongoDB and Redis are part of an older breed. The newest databases, built to handle the most demanding load, like DynamoDB, Aurora, or CloudSpanner, are intimately tied to the cloud provide

With regard to some of those downside, there's definitely a theme in some circles of "lets just take this traditional app and write it in lambda". 15 minute runtime execution is a limitation, but you could equally write &quot

That article, despite being only a month old, is out of date or just wrong. Yes, none of the "Family" products are available for G-Suite. That being said, all of the functionality beyond saving money is there with G-Suite. The sav

One thing I can suggest; if you're deep into google products, you should be paying the $5/month for a G-Suite account with your own domain. You get access to better business-class support. Fi is now also supported on G-Suite accou

Yeah, we have a corporate policy of never storing anything critically sensitive in an Atlassian product. Though, to be fair, we have the same policy for Slack and most of our tools; that stuff never leaves Amazon.

Fortnite's success, without any doubt in my mind, was not luck. Its borderline offensive to the people behind that game to suggest so. First of all, they weren't the first in the battle royale market. Many similarly styled games c

I think you've unwittingly asked for DDP and Meteor. Meteor was seriously ahead of its time, much like all good systems that suffered under their complexity before the infrastructure was there to support it. At its core, its a websocke

The state of gRPC on the browser is the main reason why my company selected Twirp instead. Being able to natively call a simple HTTP endpoint with a JSON payload is fantastic; its the benefits of protobufs when you can use it, with a gracef

by 013a 8y ago
To address all of your questions: One of the biggest selling points of gRPC (or many of the protobuf based systems, like Twirp) is that there's a huge community of people building code-gen tools for the API and Client out of a .proto f

Github Actions is in private beta. From the little time I've spent with it, it could fundamentally change the way you interact with CI; its pretty different compared to normal CI products like Travis, Circle, etc. Primarily, each pipel

I tend to believe that one of the most powerful things about Dynamo is the streaming capabilities. It means that you can cleanly use Dynamo as the source of truth for your data, reap all of the performance benefits it has, and automatically

The easiest solution, which is quite easy, at least for Aurora Serverless/Lambda: Cron a warming function that calls something in the cold service every 5 minutes. This should add literally pennies, if that, to the total cost and is re

My biggest fear with On-Demand is that there's no cap to the cost, and an unruly service or access pattern could blast up the RCUs/WCUs instead of getting a simple throttle and timeout. Is this a valid fear, and is there any way a

I really worry about cost in this future of leaning on something like ACI/Fargate to actually run the containers. An m5.large instance (2vcpu/8gb) costs $70/mo on-demand ($44/mo with a 1 year reservation). A similar Farg

Delivery mechanism really does matter. Vaping is much more accessible than cigarettes; you can do it indoors with no risk of smelling like anything. You can do it in bathrooms. Also, if Nicotine is the only reason people are addicted to cig
