Kubernetes is really built on the assumption that workers are in the same LAN as the control plane. Long latency between the control plane and workers affects workload reliability; heartbeats need to be configured with longer timeouts, for

Because data storage costs money, hard billing caps require deleting both your data and its backups to stay under the hard cap. There are very few use cases where that's actually acceptable, not even development environments where peop

The article is phrased as VCs wanting founders who take risks, but actually it's just another framing of the fact that VCs are looking to reduce their risks as much as possible. No matter which new market the founders are working on pr

You're right that CDKTF with dependent stacks is probably better than nothing, but (a) CDKTF's compatibility with OpenTofu depends on a lack of breaking changes in CDKTF, since the OpenTofu team didn't fork CDKTF, so this is
