What do you mean? It is still free, just at a lowered speed. Calling it lies is hyperbolic.

Finally! At least one parliament wants to invest in local technology and give the region a fair chance, rather than going with the (today) technically superior hyperscalers. There's no discussion that e.g. Azure solves a lot of problem

Congratulations to the launch! Funny how two separate companies launch a product in the same space within a short period of time. AI-BOB, https://www.aibob.io/ , got a lot of attention during TechArenan in Stockholm last wee

Claude Code works pretty OK so far, but Bash doesn't work straight up. Just sits and waits, even when running something basic like "!echo 123".

There's quite a lot going on over the last year or two to actually build a real cloud in Europe, which is basically nott just dedis/VMs like on Hetzner or OVH. Take a look at Clever Cloud or Molnett!

Definitely is, it triggered us at Molnett, Clever Cloud, Safespring and others to start believing in competing with the hyperscalers!

> With DevOps, if you can automate it, you should automate it. I couldn't agree less with this. At this point the whole "DevOps" industry is fueled by consultancies who make a great living from convincing business leaders

We're very happy to use Hetzner for our bare-metal staging environments to validate functionality, but I still feel reluctant to put our production there. Disks don't quite work as intended at all times and our vSwitch setup has g

I'd say building datacenters is a commodity these days. There's countless actors in this field who are thriving.

Don't think the argument is "everything", just the things that can be done within the protocol. There's really not much bloat being added considering the "limitations": https://redis.io/docs&#x2

I love this! Every year in Sweden around christmas, almost all popular magazines publish articles for how to optimally book your vacation days. We have quite a few bank days between christmas and new years, so certain years you can get like

I consider Kubernetes to be an excellent framework to build these kinds of applications. The difference here is Gitpod being stateful, which is notoriously hard on Kubernetes, though easier now than ever before! To clarify on one of your po

It's for running their commercial products, which are stateful and long-lived developer environments.

Huge news, congratulations! I was building something similar back during COVID, as LTSE's Runway stopped being improve, Summit (usesummit.com) pivoted to being a no-code tool and Obvious (YC S21 perhaps?) shut down. Instead of building

Since it's written ZooKeeper/etcd-based, I assume they use ZK and are going over to Etcd.

Hi everyone! We at Molnett.com have been building a alternative to Vault due to their license changes and just published our technical alpha for the KMS (KEK/DEK) part of Vault. Going to present it at the Stockholm Rust meetup tonight

I'm cross-posting this from another community and it's specific for Web Development. Hope it can be useful anyway! I really recommend doing the following. I've done this for all three agencies I've built so far (all ~$20

Any code base that doesn't use the advanced features of it's language(s) are always better in my experience. Heavy usage of e.g. meta-programming in Python or perhaps uber's fx (dependency injection) in Go makes projects infi

The by far biggest is being able to scale it on top of Ceph, while getting performance from NVMe disks on Pageservers. This enables us to increase efficiency (aka cut costs) by 90%+ in a multi-tenant environment. Of course we don't get

We're self-hosting Neon with an internal Kubernetes operator (keep your eyes out for more info) and we're incredibly happy with Neon's technical solutions. I'm not sure we'd be able to build our company without it :

(From molnett.com) For us that self-host, the architecture of building cold storage on top of Object Storage and warm storage on top of NVMEs is unbeatable. It enables us to build a much more cost-effecting offering while keeping Postgres a

I have been waiting for this for a while. Their OSS code is of the highest quality and I'm hoping the hardware is at the same level!

Thank you so much for this write-up. Reminds me strongly of when we were exploring GKE container native routing. It really makes it so much efficient being able to route directly to the pods, rather than passing through all these Service la

We use Kata Containers to create Firecracker VMs from Kubernetes. Works really well for us. Though I am hoping there will be a more specific solution for Firecracker, as we don't need any other runtimes (which kind of ruins the purpose
