My experience is the opposite. You python code all it needed was a Requirements.txt and a pip install and the tooling takes care of the rest, been like that for years. Any non trivial 40-year Fortran code though works with a specific compil

I wonder what the costs are to run something like this for a real world app. Fly.io charge outbound bandwidth fees. You've got instance / volume costs for all the regions for the DB and app servers. IP addresses are charged. Can s

Actually Hubble was put into space by a (mostly) reusable system the space shuttle STS-31. That was about 30 years ago.

Not sure what you are talking about here but for example an RDS instance is simply an EC2 instance with a bunch of automation. If you want to save some money write the scripts yourself and run them in a cron job. Took me a couple hours and

Yeah agreed I haven't worked with Google scale companies but I've always found scaling issue to to development related not infrastructure related. So examples would be a bad db query that takes the system down, overly chatting web

Looks like they have actually reduces their footprint. It not that they do run on a single webserver it's that they can run on one.

I think this depends. For OPS people no longer having to physically go into a DC I agree but you've now pushed a bunch of work developers especially now will have a harder time as they used to make code and there was someone who sorted

Yeah I see that too I'll add that to my comment tbh I think what I said still stand it's been made hard or maybe said a different way is: It's very easy to overspend on these big cloud providers Oh I can't edit the comme

Ah the old cloud provider switcheroo. Yip this is the way they make money. They make it easy to setup some gigantic hugely scalable website then hit you with a gigantic scaled up bill. AWS would do this as well. Team I'm in at the mome

The article isn't surprising at all. Workers rights are very poor in the USA. The people that are the worst off when this is the case is the lowest ladder of workers and service industry is in that camp. If you want these industries to
