(author here) I'm one of the maintainers of HashiCorp's Nomad, so that example was likely inspired by the separation of duties that's part of our security model. In that environmen…

Author here! The motivating example of this post is frankly pretty lousy in retrospect (and was even so soon after writing, given the friendly reminder from Giovanni Campagna that …

> I should have just used on-disk mode from the start, but only now know better. Yeah, I saw the recent post about reducing rqlite disk space usage. Using the on-disk sqlite as bot…

This architecture is roughly how HashiCorp's Nomad, Consul, and Vault are built (I'm one of the maintainers of Nomad). While it's definitely a "weird" architecture, the developer e…

Totally agreed. I wrote up my thoughts on this recently: https://blog.0x74696d.com/posts/mise-en-place/

GKE clusters run on VMs, not on bare metal.

I'm the lead developer for Joyent of ContainerPilot, which is the tool at the core of our Autopilot Pattern implementation examples. The lifecycle events you recognize in Distelli …

Sending a swarm of unguided relativistic projectiles across the universe seems profoundly rude.

Yeah, that plus gvp. But if you dig into both they're just shell scripts under the hood (nice ones, though!) and given that I've got a makefile or shell script to build the contain…

Author here. Happy to answer any questions about our setup.

Nice. If I was starting this project today (it's pretty mature at this point) that'd definitely be something I'd look into. That being said, when Kinesis previewed it had only Java…

The frequency isn't configurable. We execute the ingest daily for a 24 hour window that's IIRC 4 hours old. This works fine for us in practice.

Meh. It's my personal blog. I don't care enough about that. =)

Oh? Edited to say "The long story short of this is that it’s like a hosted Kafka." Thanks for the correction!

Yeah, using the Cloudfront CDN logs is a very similar approach. If we'd known about Snowplow and it was production-ready when this service were written, it would certainly be worth…

Weird. It's #000 on #FFF, unless my meager CSS skills have failed me. Maybe it's just too thin or something? I'll see what I can do but probably not today. /points to the markdown …

I host on Github pages, so the original markdown is available at https://github.com/tgross/tgross.github.io/blob/master/_post... Does that help? Also, what kind of corporate firewa…
