    Yes, the initial syncing and indexing can take a moment. I would recommend joining a single Pub or SSB room [1] to find people and grow your network organically. The large Pubs [2]…

    Great post, I will also add it to https://k8s.af (Kubernetes Failure Stories)

    True, but at least they now have an API for account creation (AWS Organizations) --- it was really painful in 2015/16 to script (in the browser!) all necessary steps for account cr…

    It's not mentioned in the post, but PostgreSQL is the prime candidate to replace your MySQL: "The World's Most Advanced Open Source Relational Database". We are happy users of Post…

    It's supposed to be run locally. See also my small write-up on Kubernetes web UIs in 2019: https://srcco.de/posts/kubernetes-web-uis-in-2019.html

    I work at Zalando where we run hundreds of PostgreSQL database clusters on Kubernetes (on AWS) using our Postgres Operator ( https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator ). This gi…

    I can recommend joining the CNCF End User community [1] as it allows exchanging experiences around common problems, e.g. developer experience in a mid/large org, regulatory require…
