I love this line - one of my favorites of the show. Thanks for sharing.

While there are plenty of folks who have reason to push a repatriation narrative, and there will always be examples (Dropbox!), I'll believe it's real when cloud providers like AWS…

This sounds a lot like my daughter (3yo). She likes to play up, but also craves approval from her parents and stern words can be devastating to her. The best approach we've found i…

The SPIFFE JWT-SVID standard attempts this, although for a specific context: https://github.com/spiffe/spiffe/blob/master/standards/JWT-S...

OAuth is perfectly valid as a standard for inter-API authentication but it is complicated. You'll also have to figure out separately how your oAuth clients manage the secrets they …

While it won't solve for SPA, the SPIFFE project ( https://spiffe.io/ ) aims to deliver short-lived keys and certificates to workloads at runtime to allow them to establish channel…

Supporting North/South is how they have traditionally been marketed, but not how they are actually used much of the time. Inside enterprise they are often used as an internal "serv…

One reason for the explosive interest in service mesh over the last 24 months that this article glosses over is that it's deeply threatening to a range of existing industries, that…

This is great science writing. Straightforward, factual, and with context to help folks put the findings into perspective. It's a refreshing change from the hyperbolic coverage of …

The author's point is not that schema changes are hard - but rather that versioning schema changes are hard.

I'd be curious to know how this compares to Google's (internal ) TrueTime service[1], and if it allows for development of globally consistent but highly available storage systems l…

If you adopt micro-services in earnest, a challenge you face is how to ensure that the right set of services can communicate (and only communicate with) the right other set of serv…

Not a complete comparison, but here's[1] a breakdown of Linkerd vs. Envoy (the L7 proxy that sits at the heart of Istio) [1] https://github.com/lyft/envoy/issues/99

The Istio blog post is excellent, and provides a lot more detail. https://istio.io/blog/istio-service-mesh-for-microservices.h...

Recently I've seen a few folks use protobufs within parts of a monolith as a mechanism to enforce a strongly typed interface between components. This helps define a contract betwee…

What uncommon tasks that are largely performed manually today could benefit from automation?

I'm a fan of that book too, and definitely provides some constructive anecdotes. This said, it's a survey of largely succesful organisations - and focuses in the main on what peopl…

It would be wonderful if these sorts of articles (which efficiently generalize advice based on thousands of data points) could back their assertions up with a few telling case stud…
