This isn't exactly true. I have worked extensively with Azure, Google Cloud and AWS. While many of their basic services do seem to map 1 to 1 there are enough differences in the details that it's almost like learning a completely

The major cloud providers REALLY need to focus on fixing years old bugs in their widely used offerings instead of launching new ones. I guess the incentives are out of whack tho, since a working and widely used but slightly broken offering

Yet AWS manages to give near 100% uptime with RDS at a similar price point. CloudSQL downtime in the cases I've seen was caused by them rebooting both master instances at the same time. This is amateurish and totally unnecessary, the w

Absolutely not. I'm sure it's happened but I have never personally seen an RDS instance go down, in over 10 years consulting and building in AWS. Google Cloud SQL was going down for multiple minutes every month for one of my clien

I helped a major user of GCP migrate off the platform to AWS for this exact reason. Totally insane that they still do this when AWS has had a rock solid offering in the form of RDS for like 10 years now.

I see on your site that you can upload a chest Xray directly as a user. Are you already offering a more hospital or medical grade product or this is consumer focused for now?

The fact that someone in Ubuntu marketing thought this was even remotely an acceptable or good idea is a sign of someone deeply out of touch with reality and far too invested in tracking/marketing ecosystems.

There are multiple ways to reference other resources including by state or as a data source. But Hashicorp/Terraform don't do a good job of making this clear.

Yes there is no magic solution and all approaches have downsides. I tend to lean towards the side of more separation at the cost of increased reference complexity.

If you are having issues with multiple concurrent state reads you should definitely consider splitting your project into smaller discrete modules. I see a lot of projects where an entire AWS account is managed by Terraform using a single st

I looked into this pretty extensively when Italy announced it and like most government initiatives there it's a borderline scam and was done for the PR not because it makes sense. Each of these houses requires extensive renovation work
