    The payment processors are, at the core, specialist insurance businesses. They know how to underwrite transaction risk and counterparty risk and FX risk very well, better than gene…

    I believe that doing nothing, on purpose, especially for prolonged time (months, years), especially in solitude, is often _the_ most productive, highest leverage activity of all th…

    Yep, backwards they did (Disclosure: I'm from Digger and OpenTF so am biased) Hashi's biggest miscalculation is that they put Terraform (an open language / ecosystem) into the same…

    Yeah apologies we're in a little bubble here together with Spacelift, Scale, Env0 and Atlantis so starting to assume everyone knows the niche terminology lol Yeah so basically TACO…

    There's a fundamental difference Terraform's "server" was never open-source in the first place So you already cannot pull the move that AWS did with Elastic and Mongo The open-sour…

    Yes indeed a puzzling move from Hashicorp's leadership perspective. Could be a miscalculation; or no calculation at all. It looks like it boils down to being no longer able to "inc…

    Indeed - but the Terraform community appears to be hit the hardest. Because unlike Consul, there's no open-source hostable anything. It feels just an arbitrary restriction for a la…

    Atlantis was a great tool back in the day and still works well in most scenarios. The main issue with it is that it also takes on running the jobs (as in Terraform binary runs on t…

    All valid points! Thank you! We were initially completely backend-less; but then it increasingly became apparent that a central orchestrator is unavoidable. Rationale here: https:/…

    Yeah naming is fun The most fun thing is - Digger + Dagger could be a great combo! We haven't yet explored properly but in theory it shouldn't be anything different from adding ano…

    Thanks!! Great point; for now we're relying on S3+dynamo which many people prefer anyways; but state management is on the roadmap, we'll get to it soon Tracking here: https://githu…

    A lot of the problem is gone after realising that productivity has little to do with efficiency and almost everything with prioritisation / focus. As soon as you become aware of yo…

    Developers today have great tools to quickly launch small projects without thinking of infrastructure (Firebase, Vercel, Heroku). But these tools don't work for teams. Big tech com…

    Yes, Digger generates TF files and stores it in the dedicated "main" repository, separately for each environment. You can tweak these files directly, or override the defaults in th…

    Comment #25125474

    With Heroku you are stuck with what they offer, and it quickly gets unreasonably expensive compared to AWS / GCP / Azure. Digger is just as easy to use, but you don't overpay for r…
