This is very impressive and I hope it works out well for them. It has some serious risks in terms of privacy/government surveillance, however. A single theft of a backup and the entire country's data is violated. The other issue I

I upvoted it on the odd hope that one of my coworkers sees it and actually considers following some of it. ;)

Yes. I wouldn't say doomed tho. It just leads to production bugs that are costly.

I can't really answer that question completely accurately. I was a very odd case/hire compared to those both before and after as far as I can tell. I mostly interface with outside developers for integration purposes and I never re

It has been this way for 10 years and predates me working there. The pace of development remains unchanged as far as I can tell over the time I've worked there, regardless of whom left and was hired. I was pointing this out not to say

As someone who works at a place that has tons of technical debt yet is able to release daily, I have to disagree. We have things that are 6+ months old without any of the normal best practices and are able to continue to ship w/o delay

It is why I used it as an example. Nginx+php-fpm = web app role, easy to conceptualize as a single service, and in many workplaces might be the entire depth of a given service [except for the database]. > There are two tricky parts thoug

by opendais 12y ago
In order to do things your way you need: 1) Multiple docker containers to spin up and be managed. 2) Multiple health checks. 3) Set additional flags/do additional config for Docker. The fact people consistently say "Eh, this is a

Single purpose is a role. Single process is a single process. [e.g. Nginx] I think you are confused by what I meant. Stateless single purpose containers is good. One process per container is bad because it involves more service discovery be

by opendais 12y ago
That is one more thing for me to setup and manage. There is no reason to do that when your scale is small enough that you handle it with 2 load balancers.

More or less, yes. Every instance of the app has static locations for every service it talks to so it doesn't need to care what location. Every docker container has a health check for the load balancer and registers itself with the loa

Actually, to me it screams MVP by a backend focused developer. It signals the exact opposite to me as long as it is a company of only 1-2 people. They know what they are doing but have no design chops...which is much better than the reverse

by opendais 12y ago
Yes but I bet the majority of people using Docker don't need/want to scale the majority of their projects to 100+ servers which is what the Docker maintainers focus on. It is a good/valid focus for them. However, it is not

I think the core flaw with the "no SSHD in Docker, ever" reasoning is it makes a number of assumptions. To me, for my use, Docker is really a lightweight role-based VM I can put on a provisioned host of some kind [another VM, dedi
