https://developers.googleblog.com/en/google-kotlinconf-2024-... For the name of the internal framework, I can't remember which podcast I heard it on, but they haven't mentioned it …

ok, this may be a red herring. Still, in a couple of years when Compose Multiplatform is mature, and Google is looking to boost profit margin, they may rationalise their investment…

One datapoint is that Google rewrote their Google Docs app in KMM (which doesn't include UI, that's Compose Multiplatform), replacing their legacy in-house framework. They intend t…

A monolith on GCP Cloud Run + Postgres Alloy db is as close to Heroku as exists today. No external tools for ci, deployments/rollbacks, logs, metrics are needed. Zero lock-in, noth…

maybe you're right, but I'd be skeptical. In a non-snarky way, this shows the data sources used in models to date up to GPT 3. https://lifearchitect.ai/whats-in-my-ai/ OpenAI paid …

My sweet summer child, this is a closely guarded secret. Will only be revealed if perhaps Europe demands it so that copyright holders can sue.

That's impressive, surprised there's that much juice that could be squeezed without changing architecture. I ask because AWS Aurora is flattered in comparison to RDS due to e.g. so…

This looks great! For the 2x general improvement, how much of that is due to setting/modifying postgres settings and adding good indexes, versus improvements to the code itself?

There seems to be major disengenuousness on behalf of EPIC and Cerner, and some ignorance on behalf of WSJ. GCP != Google Health, at least for the purposes of patient privacy. If y…

thanks, I hope you're right, GCP doesn't appear to be clear on this point, seems to be offering free trial up to May 2020 and then who know. I'm aware of the ability to set it up f…

Thanks, although unfortunately I'm not in the price bracket for Anthos (starts at 120k/year or so I believe).

started using this... pretty awesome vs the wall of yaml it replaces. Not suitable for all workloads (max 1cpu/2 gigs ram, 4 minute max pod startup time, can't do background work w…

except it's open source...

On GKE, you don't need to define node-pools if you tick enable node-autoprovisioning. This is effectively an EKS fargate profile without any of the limitations (discrete node size,…

so this will run on AWS and Azure too.... what is it going to use to provision the cluster, kops?

yea this seems a lot like how I do things with Jenkins-x preview environments. Other parts of the stack are pulled in based on the latest version of the respective helm charts.

This is fine.

I can see independent software vendors like Heptio and Canonical being the main beneficiary of this deal. IBM can sweat the old large companies but they have no credible cloud offe…

Mongo licensing prevents DO doing this themselves, although they could partner with them.

very interesting. With this and the new DO kubernetes offering (if both are reliable), DO could be a compelling option for postgres-based kubernetes clusters baseload - circa half …

Fully agree with his comments as someone who's used GKE, AKS, EKS and Hetzner for kubernetes clusters. GCP's UX is so nice... e.g. compare the equivalent as command line option in …

If you're going the kube route, I would go with GKE with pre-emptible nodes. You can have a single micro base node ($25/month), and then an auto-scaling, pre-emptible pool for a di…

It will be great to have Fargate as a provider for the virtual kubelet along with Azure (and I forgot to mention Hyper.sh). Do you know if AWS plan to build a virtual kubelet provi…

I watched the overview video below and the tldr for me is that although serverless is doable now and can be done well, the tooling is not there yet, and you're also locked into AWS…

Maidsafe (if/when completed) will offer an untraceable web with no weak points. Maybe won't be useful for all web content but for secure comms will be hard to beat. https://blog.ma…
