Look at AWS presentation/talk about Aurora DSQL [1] It’s a Postgres facade. But everything beyond that is a complete reimagining and a rewrite to scale independently. I personally think it’s going to eat a lot of market share when it s

I don’t eat all night, which is more than 8 hours. Doesn’t seem to work.

I wasn’t able to figure how to make a uv installed python version a global when “python” is called, at least in the current shell, as I need it in CI.

I came from traditional engineering into data engineering by accident and had a similar view. But every time I tried to make a pipeline from first principles it always eventually turned out something like this for a reason. This is especial

Hm, I’m a CDK pro (4y of full time experience). I used all LLMs, except latest Claude model. All were bad in my estimation and just got in the way. I don’t use them for CDK code anymore.

Maybe the garbage will be like in Sweden? In some city or neighborhood they have this modern setup where each garbage disposal chute is connected by pneumatic tubes to a central garbage dump in the area. So when garbage needs collected the

They are just killing the client software part. But the infrastructure part remains. I think it’s not a bad move. Chime app was rather clunky and had no updates.

Same here. My first job was “take this spaghetti mess and make it better”. It was an old crusty Perl CGI codebase without any framework and a ton of bad decisions.

Hm, that’s interesting. Are you saying just specifying the FROM in the Dockerfile is enough? I’ve seen a trick floating around specifying from in the bake config in addition to Dockerfile.

Have you figured it out?

I thought and had read the symptoms but I had no whooping sound. Just the cough.

I resonate with you very much. I recently bought a 1991 Honda Civic for fun and I love it. So simple. So reliable.

I’ve had one of the nastiest flus of all time. The coughs were so strong it was like electric shock thru my body and my muscles spasmed. A few days after my back muscles were sore like after a solid bench press session. They lasted a couple

Hey thank you for the thoughtful response. I didn’t mean to say that serverless is the way. I was just talking about AWS in general. Although serverless is a broad category that includes Aurora Serverless, which does has trade offs but it’s

Just a counterpoint. But my experience has been the opposite. Taking a legacy application that runs on a single server and is struggling to scale with spaghetti of config files all over the box and security issues that have gone unpatched b

AWS has a native service for this called AppConfig and has agents that can pull and cache flag values so your services only need to make localhost requests.

Does anyone have any good tools for migrating off of spotify? And where to go? I’d like Apple but their apps are horrendous and they completely bastardized the classic Music app pre streaming.

Stay on AWS and apply for $1K credits. Just position yourself as a potential money making startup on the Activate application. It’s very easy to get. Then you can get $5K ($4K actual) package by using a code from Mercury bank or Secret plan
