ECS is far, far far smoother, simpler and stable than anything else out there in cluster orchestration. It just works. Even with EC2 instances it just works. And if you opt for Fargate, then that's far more stable option. I am saying t

This is absolutely true. I can count easily some 20+ components already. So this is not walk in the park with two willing developers to learn k8s. The underlying apps (Redis, ES) will have version upgrades. Their respective operators themse

Massive respect for the craft. Knowing the details of the text rendering myself, goosebumps. :)

You can check the Pango's script gallery (GNOME project) [0] as showcase of their prowess to be able to render Persian/Urdu that is the most complex form of Arabic script. Complexity comes from the fact that in Arabic, a single ch

If you look at the text rendering alone, this is a massive feat. People take text rendering for granted. No sir, it is not. Even for Latin script, it is not. Let alone exotic languages such as Urdu/Persian that are highly cursive and a

I think Django's ORM is really great but only as long as that's the first thing you have seen. If you started from Rails and ActiveRecord, you're probably not be very appreciative of Django's ORM.

Nope. Python type hinting is far far from Java like types. And yes, I guess OP has now a large system that needs types enforced by the system to reduce the friction in evolving the stack.

Go for OpenSearch. Elastic might flip the license once more depending upon how and what stock market wants.

That is great news but I have prepared my stack for OpenSearch which seems even if less feature rich but is more trustworthy. At least there are some security features built in (OIDC/OAuth/JWT/Proxy etc.) which are dead criti

Bit hard to trust - plus OpenSearch would continue to go strong because lot many companies have built business on top of it. Most of the centralised logging providers come to mind. Grafana and Elasticsearch with their AGPL, are not deployab

Shouldn't underestimate what determined group of people can achieve. As for feature parity is concerned, AWS was pretty small at the beginning. Just like some 12 years ago. Even VPCs didn't exist at one point and you could scan wh

If all you have one single application listening on port 8080 with SSL terminated elsewhere, why would you need so many abstractions in first place.

Not easy, but already a solved problem.

If you haven't broken down your software into 50+ different separate applications written in 15 different languages using 5 different database technologies - you'll find very little use for k8s. All you need is a way to roll out y

I meant the second one. Thank you for your answer. Second unrelated question that anyone might want to add to, why is MySQL falling out of favour in recent years in comparison to Postgres?

by wg0 2y ago
Great write up. Do you plan to have similar for MySQL as well?

by wg0 2y ago
Is there something similar for MySQL that covers backup and restore too?

Hardly. Performance lags. Even after the new rendering engine. Try compiling and then running desk top samples (a mail client, a finance management tool) on macOs and check the amount of jank in animations. Text fields are whole another sto

And even that process separation is spinning up more processes from within the same binary or build artefact. The usual fork() and CreateProcessW() etc and then wait on them. Unlike in Microservices where each process is possibly a totally
