Yeah it's odd as some very clever talented people have passed through there doors, some very mixed feelings towards them. The JVM is just getting warmed up load testing for that short a period.

It does not, I've lost alot of time profiling Kafka perf issues against clusters on the exact same hardware with exact same traffic but with a 3000% throughput difference. The root cause was one cluster had a lot of empty test topics

I'm the same. Happy with current functionality and the current price. It doesn't need to be the only product or have the most users it only needs to be functional and make enough money for it to be worthwhile except with vc fundin

There was a lot of debate about this when daylight running lights where made mandatory on all new motorcycles in the EU. Most of it was on the lines of if every vehicle had lights on you would no longer stand out, you are just another light

The UK vs US salaries are not even in the same ball park. Sure they can't afford $1M but in general you are lucky to get $110k+ in the UK even if you have 10 years behind you, even more so outside of London, in London the money doesn&#

The intetesting bit they miss detail on is why they are running k8 at the edge in restaurants. The only reason i can think of that is they get to push point of sale software out by using K8s from some central system. I cant think of a worse

There is absolutely no reason other than the overhead you need to self manage the service like you would self manage any other internal service. If you are comfortable at operations you'll be fine. Some people are not good at ops so ou

I am a long time 1Password user, purchased Mac licenses, IOS and Android over the years. I was annoyed when it changed to being subscription based, the price wasn't an issue I think for the value it gives the price is fair, 1Password i

Docker as in package internal services as a container then having them deployed to a cluster which handles orchestration for you great. Your internal service, microservice if you want to call it that just becomes a process deployed to a bun

You can but even in TB's of data never mind PB's it can take weeks to sync across. Also running two clusters to handle large volumes of data, it's big money. Even a small modest cluster with around 20TB+ of data was north of

I've used LVM in AWS to present a single volume to Kafka >16TB which is their max EBS size. They report you can attach up to 40 EBS volumes. Growing LVM with XFSs has worked well, 0 downtime and around 60 seconds. Allows you to over

Not my experince. I'd say the majority of big data is unethical both in capture and use trying to sell you something or sell someone else something on you, a small amount is for general good. I wasn't involved on the project but a

Kafaka you get topics and partitions. Topics is a grouping of data, normally having a common schema. Partitions allow parallelism spreading the data across multiple brokers. Data on a topic can be partitioned by a key so you can partition b

I get the Apple lock in eco-system but if it supported bluetooth pairing it opens itself to a far larger market and then they can up sell if you want the extra features, HomePod app integration, stereo pairing etc buy a IPhone/IPad.

No. I completly agree with, it's far easier than debugging what configuration has been applied due to specfic annotations used.

B2 is great as a backup store. I use it for backup. I wouldn't use it for non backup object storage, as it's in a single data center. S3 and Google Cloud are completely different, I'm not sure on the Google specifics but S3 h

As I'm in a similar situation with Crashplan I've researched this a bit more (have just under 2TB so was originally just going to pay up for the business plan so cost wasn't to high). VPS's are probably a no go as they h

Is it possible to spin up a VPS then restore crashplan to that then seed Backblaze? Should be able to get max throughput and cost will be minimal if only have the VPN for the time it takes to seed.
