While this is great for people with a fundamental understanding of containers and your prod environment this will usually lead to some issues with developers that don't need to, or want to, have context in these areas. In the past, to

It depends on what you're optimizing for. I like to think of it this way. A good "programmer" can take ideas and turn them into working software that is performant enough, meets all of the requirements, etc. This is a mostly

And, at that point, you'll probably want an easy way to orchestrate work across your multiple nodes.

I don't think you need to "wrestle it into submission". There are many CNCF projects that work great on bare metal instances like Rook and other companies providing managed DB solutions for your hardware like KubeDB. K8s isn&

I've had the opposite experience where others didn't see the cost savings, and also performance improvements, as a benefit. Some people get "scared" when you don't put things in the cloud. Meanwhile a last gen serve

It's selling point is it's not matlab. It's downfall is it's not python. The python scientific compute libraries have they're problems but people are using them and math people "get them". I think they hav

This looks interesting. The UI/UX is good but for the obligatory negative HN comment: what is new with this metrics dashboard vs established open source dashboards like Kibana and Grafana? The latter being very feature full, simple to

One of the best things that docker has done for the development world is make the "Time To 200" pretty short. We essentially just need to run `docker-compose up -d --build` and you can run a huge array of applications. You just g

As your repo grows do you think you'll eventually need to implement some blaze-like tooling? In previous treads you mentioned compiling the entire repo only takes a minute or two but I'm wondering if the reproducability guarantees

Some tools I built at my last job: 1. Pronto [0]: An "ORM" that mapped a protobuf to an object in MongoDB. The idea was to extend it to other storage backends (RocksDB, sstable, sqlite, etc) to make it easy for a service owner to

That sounds pretty ideal. Where do you work? Has this scaled to a large size?

Another fun feature of rustc is you can execute this command: rustc --explain E0502 It gives you a small example of what the error is, explains it, and tells you how to fix it. This is a very nice feature for new people (like myself).

I've done a lot of napkin math in NaSC [0]. Unfortunately it was buggy and often crashed so I had to stop using it. I'd love for something like this that could also be checked into repo and used to "compile" into constan

Protobuf is commonly used to refer to both the serialization format and the IDL. You can use protos to specify JSON/REST endpoints. In past companies I've also used it to specify DB schemas.

My guess is that the benefit is they can write their applications in Haskell, package up the binary into a JVM application/shim (which can be templated in a bazel macro) and deploy a service into something like AWS Lambda or existing i

I've setup multiple CI systems and it really depends on what you need to test. A long time ago I built a CI for a team that ran end to end integration tests and collected code coverage from each service running. This took between 4 min
