I think with the App Engine Standard generation 2 runtimes you don't have to write to their sandbox anymore. It still has to be one of their supported languages though, instead of any arbitrary server. https://cloud.google.c

I don't get why you think metrics at low resolution or about resource utilization aren't usefully visualized via heatmaps. They absolutely are! Let's say your application's aggregate p99 latency goes up. Generate a heatm

I agree that Perl's autovivification is a timesaver, although I can usually hack together what I want with Python's defaultdict. For "data analysis improvisation" though, I don't know. A good REPL is a key part of t

We have a custom python tool that does something similar, except for terraform and kubectl. This is the sort of thing where you probably have to write it from scratch to match your workflow, but it should end up ~500 LOC in your favorite sc
