Looks great, I needed something like this recently. Any chance of doing full support for serverless platforms with scale-to-zero? Test infrastructure is usually a great fit for serverless since their usage looks like CI runners - high spike

Great write-up. OP's next steps are probably to offer off-peak capacity at a discount. If you pass along some of the savings to your customers, they'll happily take their once-daily or once-weekly jobs and make sure they get sched

FedRAMP High requires having separate operators (developers are not allowed to deploy directly to production). Being behind on features is considered a feature, not a bug.

I think I finally understand your earlier comment in context: > You can write each endpoint by hand instead of using GraphQL, but it's like writing your own collection datatypes instead of just pulling in an existing library. Everyo

So you threw out all the benefits of GraphQL. Instead of allowing the frontend to determine what it needs, you need to write a new backend endpoint that will return what's needed for that page. This is no different from writing some &#

Can someone ELI5 where this is going to be valuable? If you set up Postgres read replicas, make sure your queries are covered by appropriate indexes, and your hot queries are handled by Postgres from RAM anyway - do you really need a separa

Do you understand that decompilers and reverse engineering are a thing? Adversaries are not restricted to using your system the way you designed your system. GraphQL queries are trivial to pull out of Wireshark and other sniffers. If you de

I find the number of people in this thread with views against index funds to be disturbing. When you invest in an American stock market index fund, you get a highly diversified financial instrument at a fee that is so low that it is nearly

Historically, these kinds of questions were kept relatively simple, like how many bases are there, how many strikes, how many balls, how many innings, what's the name of the referee (answer: umpire), etc. They're also a product of

I find it ironic that a project using Supabase declared Supabase dead (if you press F to pay respects, you get an error message that their Supabase is hammered and try again later).

That would be a great argument if Python wasn't a language that let you reach into the internals and define __str__() for things you shouldn't be defining it for. And that is something people will definitely do because, you know

That's advice specifically for official images, and it dates back before multi-stage builds. Most people are not building official images. Most people benefit from clear encapsulation and separation of concerns. The Dockerfile sets u
