My take is that if your deployments carry so much risk that you're afraid to do it on a Friday, you have some work to do. Bringing down the risk of deploying through good observability, automated rollbacks, separate releases through fe

What are you talking about? These things are all available in Europe, without having to build up some credit score. If I want to get a loan for my business, I go to my bank and get one. If I want to buy property, I get a mortgage. If I want

I realize you're asking about performance optimizations, but since you put it in the context of a workload's cloud bill being too large, I'll chip in and say that by far the largest impact on cost I've seen over the year

We were also forced to run that until the agent had introduced a memory leak that ate almost all the memory on all the hosts. Thankfully we managed to convince our compliance people that we could run an immutable OS rather than deploy this

If that's what you're going for, I will definitely keep an eye on your app for the future. I'm literally typing this from the gym, and there's 2 benches available for 4 people that all want to use them (me being one of t

I can't say what will convert better, but what I can say is that the value proposition seems to be centered around personalization, but a demo workout list doesn't showcase personalization in any way, so it doesn't show me wh

Nevermind about the deletion being broken. It does work. There's just no UI feedback until you try again and get an error.

Deleting accounts doesn't seem to work. Pressing the delete account button does nothing. Quite frustrating to go through the whole signup process and then being asked to pay before seeing anything to justify the purchase. I would have

Same here. To me it's not even some egregiously unpleasant interactions (there have been some of those, but they've been exceedingly rare). It's the constant barrage of low-level entitlement of expecting work that individuall

I've never been on the seller side, so I don't know exactly what policies there are around what products can be sold. But to give an example, Datadog is available on the AWS marketplace, which offers a competing product to CloudWa

And there's the magic of the Amazon marketplace. Let's you buy non-AWS services while still ending up on the AWS bill and contributing to any potential spending commitment the company has.

When you're a large enterprise customer you get private pricing in exchange for committing to spending a certain amount over a few years. This is unrelated to reserved instances and such.

I'm also interested in this, but specifically something that covers authentication between services and in particular situations where a user authenticates against service a and now service a needs to ask service b to do something on b

Just traces are a long way off from APM and NPM. APM gives me the ability to debug memory leaks from continuous heap snapshots, or performance issues through CPU profiling. NPM is almost like having tcpdump running constantly, showing me wh

I would love to save a few hundred thousands a year by running Otel collector over Datadog agents, just on the cost-per-host alone. Unfortunately that would also mean giving up Datatog APM and NPM, as far as I can tell, which have been real

I've been tooting this horn for months now and it still comes up in just about every PR review, despite trying to explain how log messages being static strings allow you to easily aggregate them so you can do further filtering based on

Sorry, that was a typo. I meant to write €300/m. Just looked up the numbers, and the exact amount is €360/m as a subsidy, and up to another €700/m in a low-interest loan (0.59%). This is in Sweden.

by nevon 3y ago
Then what exactly is your point? That people require money to live? My parents spent exactly $0 on my education, as every student gets a grant of around €3000/m, and you can get a low interest student loan for the rest.

There's no single policy that applies in all European countries. In a lot of countries there's no tuition fee (I live in one of them and went to university here), in some there's a token fee per year (a few hundred euros), an

I'm really interested in your RSS reader - is it open source or available anywhere?

It's the same here in Sweden. It just feels natural that _obviously_ we should have access to what goes on in the public sector, unless there's a very specific reason not to. There was a huge backlash when the current government d

This is simply incorrect. ECS doesn't cost anything other than what you're paying for the EC2 instances that you place your tasks on. Fargate does, but that's not what they're using.

On the other hand, that exact line of thinking could be applied when taking about pair programming or getting advice from a more senior peer. In either case the answer is to critically think about the answers and seek confirmation elsewhere

Assuming that the support experience for the customers is actually good, I'm amazed they've managed to scale their support efforts that far. I work on a similar type of product, except in-house in an organization with around 2000-

Around 8-10 minutes at minimum. We do blue-green canary deployments, so most of the time the full deployment would take longer to shift over traffic in order to have enough time for metrics to be evaluated. But for a yolo deploy it'd b

This is the most accurate description I have ever read of what it's like to have a moderately popular open-source project. The sad thing is that it ends with "there is no solution to this problem that I am aware of".

Maybe OP includes the startup of things like language servers in that time. In my experience VS code editor itself launches very quickly but that doesn't mean the full IDE is ready to be used. That said, I haven't experienced part

That's still your code ("your" meaning the team that owns the product). Who else would own it? The person that left 3 years ago?
