   It's really unfortunate. Cloud allows rapid iteration, but doing a bit of self-hosting/colocation is such an insane cost savings that I think a lot of folks are really missing out on. I know at least 1 startup I worked at that w

   I agree with this. I cannot find talented and senior folks who fill the niche of my team (deep understanding of Linux systems, containers, and operating distributed systems). There seem to be a lot of SWEs in the world and very few SREs,

   Nomad 1.0 is the bomb. I've ran Nomad since 0.7 and it was usable but pretty rough in those days. 1.0 is such a good, smooth thing. Super awesome even if you don't want to use Docker at all, you can just execute random stuff th

   Give nomad, docker swarm, or lxd a shot.

   The GP did ask about logging though specifically. One of Docker daemon's more interesting features is how much log enrichment it does. Does kubelet do the same thing out of the box? I know containerd itself does not, unfortunately.

   i 100% agree with you. open source feels really, really bad especially in the last year. to others reading this -- simplified, but, docker uses containerd to build/run images. all docker images are valid containerd images. you can r

   I do this today with Nomad/Consul. Hashicorp's Raft+Serf implementation allows for shocking amounts of latency between servers/clients. I have several centralized server clusters (the "servers" _should_ be geograp

   try out https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk i've had success with it thus far. i'm mostly using mainstream providers at this point though.

   ~445k in s3 costs according to aws calc, using a naive "there is 1 object in the bucket, it's been fetched 116 million times, and that used 580PB of fetch bandwidth."

    I’m a bit confused here. Isn’t Pulumis big claim that it’s compatible with Terraform providers?? Why would Terraform trail that?

    Check out Terraform CDK for a thing that is native to TF, allows real code, and is progressing real fast

    I agree with you. As a counterpoint though, I worked somewhere that generated some of the heaviest and biggest reports of anywhere I’ve ever seen with a lot of concurrency and PHP handled the task fine. Node would have still been a better

    It’s like Java but you can actually use it. It has no compile time, the development cycle is crazy fast, the stdlib is good for the web, every problem is solved so they’re all googleable, it has a good package manager now, great frameworks,

    Have you ever tried Pypy? I know when I had issues with GC and some memory usage (specifically dealing with large datasets as well, I was parsing large MySQL query results -- many millions of rows) Pypy didn't really drop memory usage

    This is really cool! I'm curious why CTEs don't seem to be getting used here? SELECT ( SELECT ( t.data, t.created_at )::jsonb_x_timestamp FROM telemetries t WHERE server_id

    The way I've used external extensions in the past is by using a weird setup with non read-only replicas off the RDS primaries running in an EC2. It "works," but... operator beware. I'm also not exactly sure if you'l

    So I actually do this today, and I use Vault. This sounds weird, but I spin up a "bootstrap PKI" Vault that is local-only, and produces, e.g.: "consul.service.dc.consul" certs with the issuer labeled as "bootstrap

    Weird. I tell my folks to get their work done and I expect them to schedule their own time because I trust them as professionals. If they need to work between 6pm to 2am or 4am to 10am because that's when they're the most produc

    I'll be a single counter-point. I straight up reinstalled Windows to play Valorant and all it's done is made me play a lot more CSGO. I'm legitimately having more fun with CSGO now than I have in a very long time! The game

    A close friend of mine got married 3 years ago. He is a dual citizen of China and the USA. His spouse is a Chinese citizen. This straight path you speak of they have been filing paperwork for and fighting for, for 3 years now. I believe

    Skip AWX entirely and just use Jenkins. As insane as this sounds, I've personally done Jenkins => AWX => Jenkins twice. A good shared library can entirely replace AWX and the level of authn/authz plugins with Jenkins blows

    InSpec is really a good tool you should know. I believe you can write molecule tests with it so it’s something you may have already used at this point and not realized it.

    Does anyone from Progress or Chef know how this will impact anything? On that note, does anyone from Cinc know if this will have any impact on that project? I’ve been speaking to a friend who works at one of these companies and they had no

    I wrote a daily utilized utility (probably still in use) that made good use of PyPy, it was pretty slow and after quick profiling I found that type check functions (PyMySQL) were being called A LOT of times. Literally changing the runtime

    I went from an Influx getting crushed to VM running in a container with 1/8th the resources and it works fine, 1.5m active cardinality. Could handle a lot more probably. Auto fill in Grafana breaks but oh well!
