Very cool. I'm about to start work on adding eBPF probes to the open source project I maintain for automated Kubernetes troubleshooting (robusta.dev). Does anyone have good examples of specific data they collected with eBPF probes that

Yes, you're right. I should have elaborated more. We give you the useful content out of the box but you can customize to your heart's content and write your own automations. All the APIs used to create the out of the box content a

Why? What do you dislike about it?

I'm CEO of robusta.dev (an automations tool for Kubernetes) and this has been our experience too. People don't want the ability to write their own automations - they want something that just works out of the box. Very early on we

I just want to say thank you! The timeline mode is fantastic

Interesting, thanks. I hadn't thought of that aspect.

You're right about the performance. When I mentioned scaling I had in mind other issues with a large codebase - not actual performance at runtime. For example, before type hints I found it difficult (even with PyCharm and other IDEs) t

Slightly off-topic, but everyone writing modern Python should be familiar with Pydantic and similar libraries that use type hints for validation and parsing: https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/ https://fastapi.t

There's a trade-off. The closer you get to an IPO the less options you get (in terms of equity percentages). On the other hand, there is far more certainty that those options are worth something. At an early stage startup you can get v

We're pretty far away. Why?

by nyellin 5y ago
OP here and that's not the intention. I very much hope that we will manage to stay the same as we scale and grow.

Time will tell, but I'm not convinced! One third of our employees are parents. Money isn't everything and there are more ways to be family friendly than offering the highest salary. For example, we offer 1 month of paid parental l

Good point. Thank you.

First of all, thank you for the comments. That said, I'm not claiming that you don't need any pre-requisites. Obviously this article is aimed at people who use bash or else they wouldn't be having an issue with the shebang! T

I take a different approach in technical materials I write. I want to make system internals accessible to more people, not to a restricted few who have the right prior knowledge. I try to write something that everyone understands who has a

It isn't the deciding factor. We've had employees choose us over other offers with higher salaries. An unfair offer can make people avoid your company, but a higher salary is rarely the reason why people say yes. Fwiw, my personal

I don't know how you implemented it, but the big innovation of kubernetes was doing this with declarative inputs and using control loops for reconciliation instead of edge triggered changes. It might not matter on a small scale, but on

No. I'm CEO of an early stage startup (robusta.dev) and we've been extremely successful in bringing talented engineers. It's the accomplishment I'm most proud of, more then our product or anything else. We pay competitiv

It's not just running an app. He's building a setup that supports FANG-level infrastructure with autoscaling, self healing, etc. Maybe it's unnecessary for tiny companies, but if you're dealing with infrastructure at sca

To everyone saying that Kubernetes is unnecessary, try implementing autoscaling, service discovery, secrets management, and autohealing in a vendor independent way without it. Of course none of that is necessary for a self hosted home lab,

I think we're more similar to writers. Code can be creative or artistic, but structure and discipline are important for anything large. There are technical writers and there are creative writers. You can write about math or science or

Agreed. We've thought of trying out PostHog in our open source platform for Kubernetes and this is a bit of a turn off. We'll probably try it anyway, to be honest, but I'm not crazy about this type of advertising. There is so

It's for a different purpose, but we've thought of running a competition to create the most useful devops automation for https://robusta.dev to encourage new open source contributors. We're still on the fence thou

Thanks, I'll try it. I'm happy to pay more money for something that saves me time
