With your stack, how do you deploy new versions with zero downtime? Do you have a load balancer and start the new version, switch new traffic to the new version, drain connections to the old version, then stop the old version? And how do yo

What do you use for log aggregation and monitoring/metrics? And how do you deploy new versions with zero downtime? And how do you manage kernel/OS upgrades?

Use Google App Engine, Clever Cloud or Scalingo.

I asked because the ability to live without a car depends on where you live. In Berlin, which is one of the biggest european cities, it's definitely doable.

I agree that Telegram is primarily a messaging app like WhatsApp or Messenger. But its group feature has become really powerful, and can be used as an alternative to IRC (except for the fact that a "group" can't be divided in

What do you think of Telegram, compared to Discord? Telegram has one feature I miss in Discord: quote replies. It makes easier to follow conversations in a crowded channel. It is the most upvoted feature in the Discord feedback tool: https

Why the downvotes?

Yes, and this is in line with the article we are commenting, which talks mostly about authentifying the sending organisations and not individuals.

We already have DKIM which does exactly what you describe.

YouTube is not really a SPA as in React or Vue. It looks like they use something similar to TurboLinks or Intercooler: https://youtube.github.io/spfjs/ Edit for downvoters: Ok, technically, YouTube is a SPA. What I mea

How cloud providers make hosting simpler for SPA and not for server-side rendered apps? Agreed, for the front, you can use something like Netlify. But for the backend, the game has not changed. What do you use?

I like the simplicity advocated by Pieter Levels. The fact that he uses PHP with PHP-FPM solves the problem of deploying a new version (starting the new version, switching new connections to the new version, draining existing connections, s

A bunch of various tasks like: - a simple HTTP proxy that saves requests matching some criteria to inspect and debug them later; - implementing Stripe webhooks for invoicing; - a simple HTTP handler that forwards client-side JavaScript erro

Can't agree more with the description of why multicore is important. This is exactly why we switched from Python to Go for some stuff.

And it will also use less memory.

SQLite is really great, but as a datastore for a web app or a web service, it lacks a few important things to my eyes: - Cannot rename or drop column - Cannot create an index concurrently (without blocking writes) - No remote protocol (you

Great post. I agree that we don't need automated post-deploy migrations. We just need automated pre-deploy migrations. Post-deploy migrations, for example to delete an unused column, can be implemented as pre-deploy migrations in a sub

Great example of a job queue correctly implemented inside a transactional relational database (with SKIP LOCKED and a table dedicated to the job queue), instead of using a specialized tool.

This is what I do, but that's a lot of accidental complexity. Here is what Caddy's author wrote about this: > I still don't like the idea of SAN certificates. Too much room for error... what if you go to renew a SAN and on

Completely agree. I have the same issue with Google Cloud and DigitalOcean. This is a real need for SaaS providers. A wildcard customer-name.my-saas.com is not enough. Many customers want something like service-name.customer-name.com.
