For me the selling point of cloud run is that is easy to develop and debug: make it run locally, test it, then ship it in a container. For GCP cloud functions, AWS lambdas, Azure cloud functions you must fight somehow against the environmen

Are you truly paranoid? If my money and/or job depended on having something running without (or with minimal) disruption I would be as paranoid as you, too. BTW - Some people call this business recovery plan, not plain paranoia ;-)

A friend did something similar: he bought a hosting business and paid with cash the business made. Totally licit. It was a similar case: the founders just wanted to pivot and do something else after >5 years in the business.

Not so effective :D They also have time syncronization issues and they are very slow to syncronize to their NTP source (the sun). It takes them _months_ to sync from boot unless you are very lucky and the "hardware" is only a few

I believe Cisco had an unikernel running on Vmware for SDN vSwitches. Makes sense: you "only" need to move packets from some vLan to another vLan/vNic after applying policies... and you can forget about supporting hardware m

I believe there is also a good way to prove that some models work as we expect. I mean, we have now hard evidence that an given asteroid has properties X, Y, Z - and we have mathematical (or ML) models that infer such properties from indire

I remember spending two days hunting a bug in my Turbo Pascal code when I upgraded from a 286 machine (12Mhz) to my a Pentium-66. It was a while loop with one extra zero at the end. The loop with the bug run in twos second in the 286. Easy

So this confirms there is a lot of competition in the serverless space: aws lambda, Azure cloud functions, Google cloud functions, serverless containers. Like knative, Google cloud run...
