Because that’s not one-click setup or priced per request, which was the comment I was responding to was seeking. And I did say at the end of my comment: > Thing is, almost every self hosted app supports docker now and so if you like, ins

The problem is that self hosted apps are rarely designed to be run serverless (why would they be?) and giving each app it’a own VPS or hosted container is going to price out the self-hosted crowd, to the point where you might as well be pay

Yet, this is also the tragedy of modern software. While a fancy SaaS POS system will be fast and easy to install, the legacy local database version is going to keep working throughout an internet blackout (with cash), a power outage (via ba

I would argue there is limited/no market for Database as a Service where the database isn’t hosted on the same cloud provider and region as your application. Egress costs way too much for that. So you’d assume most people are already d

Almost every library that exists will have commercial usage. Usage will likely be skewed to small companies and agencies though. Just like every framework that optimises for less complexity, the disadvantages start to outweigh the advantage

Picking fruit would have been incredibly meaningful if you had spent the year doing the variety of agricultural activities leading up to it. There’s a reason so many cultures had harvest festivals. But now rather than a whole area getting t

Why would you ditch react because you don’t need SSR? You can still use vanilla React without SSR and serve it statically. It’s not as if you’re forced to use nextjs if you want to use React.

I’m not against using Postgres for this. But I am against the rolling your own distributed task queue. It always seems like a simple task but snowballs in complexity. Any gains you get simplifying your stack will be wiped out by the fact th

The concept of a “develop” branch here isn’t really a requirement to have a branch deploy. Most CI I’ve used let you pick any tag/commit/branch to run on - so nothing stopping you just deploying your feature branch without having

An overblown estimate is arguably just as damaging as an overly optimistic one. The thing about estimates I’ve found is that the actual amount of time it takes to complete a task will never shrink to match an estimate, but it almost certain

Being a company and having a job title with DevOps in the name is a great way to out yourself as not following the DevOps philosophy. It’s quite ironic. If you know you know.

I don’t see this as any different to traditional office politics and the self serving “dark triad” personalities you come across. The key component of Machiavellianism is using whatever means you have. That could be in-group status OR out-g

Great resignation was people on low(er) wages and/or were treated poorly, moving up (or out) in a tight labour market. I don’t think it applies to FAANG.

I’ve only ever used MinIO as a stub for S3 in development, as it seems wrong/slow to require AWS access to start up a development environment. I like that it “Just Works” for this use-case, even though that’s definitely not where they
