Right, because there aren't a million people living there; that's why I specified peninsula/south bay, bay area. I would probably not use One Medical if I was still living in central FL, where I never encountered these proble

I should add a caveat that One Medical is basically always the same price. I've had really bad experiences with anything labeling itself an "urgent care clinic," and pricing.

My answer is "Why doesn't everyone use One Medical and have a doctor?" To laser-focus on the peninsula/south-bay in the bay area; going to PAMF or Stanford Medical typically results in a 2-3 day wait to see a Dr. If yo

If you can't do 1200 logs/sec with that hardware + elasticsearch, you've done something horrendously wrong. You can do 1200 logs/sec with a container limited to 1 core and 256mb of memory running elasticsearch.

This is why I ran Redis on a single server with no failover strategy. Our team spent maybe 15 hours workshopping a handful of other things (redis cluster, sentinels + replicas) before realizing we could spend an hour to have everything sit

What would you call "knowing JavaScript?" I've written some greasemonkey scripts for automating work-related tasks, and done some very basic editing for helping others with visual stuff. I've fixed some folks node code,

I believe Go is eating Java currently. If you look at companies they're all quite different though. Apple uses a lot of languages. Google uses a lot of C++. Facebook is a combination of things, but AFAIK their main platform is still

Calling cockroachdb "not open source" is a stretch. https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach (The title is also wildly inaccurate to what's in the article, and should just have the articles title)

I installed PoP!_OS on my laptop with a gtx 1050. It booted first try, I installed Steam and was able to run every single game that I like in my library without issues, including some with weird launchers (Warframe...). I play a ton of vid

Redis themselves offer a managed service. There's https://www.envkey.com/ and several alternatives. Elasticsearch offers 3 completely different tiers of support and offerings. Everyone going to AWS is going there for

I set this up to force myself to stop SSHing to boxes all the time and trust in my own automation. It took some effort and setup is frustrating but it ended up being a net positive. I baked everything with Ansible and did last touch setup

For Ursula, I would strongly suggest Left Hand of Darkness. Try to read it without looking into it too much.

I work somewhere that has one of the worlds largest Nomad deployments. It's easy to manage, and since 0.9.5 release they have resolved most of my issues. Simply adding Traefik/Fabio gets you a lot of benefit as well. We run it acr

Yay! I really like Vault a lot after using it all over the place. It solves a huge amount of problems in a really elegant way. For anyone heavily using long-lived ACL tokens you will absolutely want to upgrade; there's a really, real

Oh wow, that's terrible! I tend to get 90% of the way with jq and then awk/sed/grep my way to the desired result (jq -r).

I am currently on this train. Having used rkt in the past, I went to revisit it recently only to find this: https://www.cncf.io/blog/2019/08/16/cncf-archives-the-rkt-pr... I am so extremely disappointed

I use JSON in the end. I prefer to write TOML, then parse that into JSON. This seems to strike a nice balance between human/machine write/read. It's simple enough to reason TOML, even if it gets verbose. If I have to writ

I recently had a use-case where that wasn't enough, and AWS would not give us enough concurrent invocations either.

Careful about sweeping generalizations... The internet has shown what is possible in "one line" of python, and I've seen this in the real world scarily enough!

Pulumi made the mistake of immediately making remote state a paid-only feature. Even if it's not, from all the recent marketing I looked at everything useful required payment; for getting started with a project that's a non-start

In my personal experience. There's a re:invent presentation of them having an in-house 1pb+ cluster. What they don't tell you is that 101 8xl nodes is half a million dollars a year in reserved instances, before you include any ot

As someone who scripts mostly in Python I prefer Rust over Go. If I could have Go with more functional paradigms (a map function!) I'd be happier with it.

DynamoDB scales a lot. It falls into the "throw money at it," bucket though, and you need to have a pattern that shards well with it. If you have a reason they will basically always increase your limits, too.

Aurora and Redshift do not scale well enough for companies at their scale (only 64TB for Aurora last I checked, and Redshift falls over near the 100TB level). They'd be looking at DynamoDB.

I would like to throw my 2 cents in that some of these advances around "new" ways do lead to some good things. The focus on service discovery is something that is incredibly helpful even for older technologies. Consul is somethin

Consul and Vault offer functionality that Kubernetes is completely lacking, though.
