Well we know one thing about Rome. When sexual deviations reached the peak -> Rome collapsed and imperium was divided. Was it because of deviations ? Who knows. They also had alot of issues going on in the meantime. But you are free to h

Tbh 5$ was to just show the order of magnitude. Even if it was 50$ per month, its still alot cheaper. And the cluster we are talking here about is a raspberry box with 10 mashines each 2cpu 8gb, running k8s, replicated storage, my own domai

At my previous work we often were able to saturate all similar instance types in given region.. All AWS had to say was “we are working hard on providing additional capacity”. The same often happens on black friday, where companies scale up

Difference is probably that you run real microservices that have small footprint and you can binpack them on very small instances together with very very small aurora cluster. If you wrote exactly the numbers of instances and types -> we

How big are those Opensearch clusters ? Lets take a small production cluster of 4x r6g.large (default proposal for prod) (0.167$/h) deployed in VPC in private subnet (x2 for HA) That’s 16$ per day for instances only and 2.5$ per day fo

Terraform is using a delarative DSL. CloudFormation is similar in that regard. Using a declarative language is both a pro and con. Pros of that solution is that you are restricted in what you can do, which often results in simplier and clea

This only works to some scale. Startup from my previous contract reached the point where “using bigger instance” would be losing them money. On the other hand, self built databases maintained by professionals were ALOT cheaper. We are talki

And here goes my reason to use DDG. Not because I pirate stuff, but because I hate censorship. Its only a matter of time till they implement the same filters as GGle. And in no way those filters stop dedicated ppl.
