There is a middle ground. There are smaller companies where you can rent a bare metal server, usually with unmetered connection (priced by bandwidth). There is an on-call support 24x7 to replace any failing part when you call them. They can

Out of curiosity, what you're missing at Digital Ocean? It seems it has all the basics (VMs, managed DBs, storage, load balancers) and for a better price than the bigger clouds. I find it quite easy to mix services from multiple provid

In Europe, it's becoming easier to work four days a week as a developer, mostly due to shortage of qualified candidates. I wouldn't say it's common but it's definitely possible. I lead a team four days a week and it&#x27

Actually, the hello world doesn't seem that bad to me. And I program mostly in Python nowadays. class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello world"); }

I've just tried it and the main method indeed needs to be public.

It's not clear how the masks appeared in that storage. It may be well possible the masks were stolen by somebody who wanted to sell them. The company owning the storage didn't comment. The masks were sent to Italy within a few day

Would you care to explain your reasoning? This topic genuinely interests me. My experience is quite the opposite. To deliver a feature, you still need to integrate changes in multiple services. To do it in a monolith is IMHO easier. You hav

by krab 7y ago
The complexity is still somewhere. You can structure your monolith in a way that you can read each module's code in ~15 minutes. Each module also can be developed and tested in isolation. However, if the organization is not capable of

I'm now working with a system where we add microservices. In my experience, they allow you to split a team that then owns its whole deployment cycle. This allows for easier hot-fixing and dealing with database schema changes. There are

I think that's the issue of cost/reward. The cost is - N developers can't work for X hours - or the company can't release new versions due to CI dependency on the registry. - or the registry removes a package you were us

I guess it's for people accessing multiple systems (perhaps ephemeral virtual machines) to have shared shell history.

Yes, the cloud premium is also a kind of insurance - you know you'll probably be able to double your capacity anytime you need it.
376.
by krab 7y ago
Yes, if you can benefit from frequent scaling up and down an order of magnitude, this is where the cloud really shines. For more continuous workloads, you can overprovision on bare metal more cheaply to deal with the spikes.

by krab 7y ago
There is the same issue with a cloud provider unless you run immutable deployments. Then, you need to invest in the tooling to produce the immutable images.

Yes, the maintenance is cheap. The changes are more costly. We run a dozen bare metal servers and I see the difference what it takes to spin up a new VM vs. set up a new physical server. There's planning, OS installation (we use presee

Yes, with a caveat which is latency. For example it's hard to split a typical webapp so the application servers are far from the database. The latency kills performance. On the other hand, for stuff like CI jobs, batch processing or an

Some colo companies, even the small ones, offer multiple datacenters. You then have to either use public IPs for the inter-service traffic, maintain a VPN or contract it from them.

As I understand it, containers are just a set of concepts and kernel features put together to provide an abstraction that's not that different from virtual machines for common use cases.
