From what I've seen with Kubernetes, the problem is that in order to define the resources and links with a schema, it needs several abstractions and extra tooling. So you not only need to define the schema (which isn't that trivia

I wouldn't be so sure. Maybe if you look just at the price of the car itself, but between parking, gas, insurance, maintenance, the actual cost can get fairly high. I don't know about prices now, but when I lived there, if you act

It's a tradeoff. Open addressing is faster due to cache locality, but needs a good hash function. If the hash function tends to cluster values and generate collisions you might (key word here "might", as usual you need to do

The problem still stands of adding dependencies, extra complexity and configuration. I’m usually happy about Grafana/Prometheus deployments because the base installation is fairly simple and self-contained, but this looks like a bit of

The reality is that those things happen. Technology must inevitably deal with human problems too, it isn’t as easy as saying “just don’t do that thing”.

There's a reason most deployments moved away from that: - Sometimes you need more complex actions to update a service than just "update the code". Migration scripts, dependent services restarts... - It's fine on one serv

Type hints in that code are erasing the actual signature of the function, so you won't get type checks on the arguments. For @redirect, you'd be better served by using the logging module. Higher order functions are ok, but the pro
