So first off, don’t use Python in prod. Second off, don’t use async because of complexities in multi-threading? A lot of the world runs just find on Python (see Django), async is m…

It sounds like the author makes a blanket claim to avoid asynchronous functions, even when using an inherently asynchronous web framework (FastAPI), which would negate any FastAPI …

WASM solves a very different problem to Kubernetes, and you can happily run, scale and orchestrate WASM binaries on Kube.

I don’t think scale is the only consideration for using Kubernetes. The ops overhead in managing traditional infrastructure, especially if you’re a large enterprise, drops massivel…

Can you qualify this statement? It’s 2024, Kubernetes is old tech and bullet proof at that.

Having watched the infrastructure side of things evolve from the late 90s/early 2000s, where every HP/IBM rackmount was a snowflake, configuration and releases were hand rolled and…

Which doesn’t really make sense, as drinking ACV alone will definitely not result in a body recomp/the addition of muscle (every meat head lifter, myself included, would be drinkin…

Yeah, especially with containerisation and orchestration / Kubernetes, I get that perhaps not everything is viable to containerise, but in 2023 this feels archaic and like a lot of…

We had our main GCP account suspended because we were running a Lightning node, and some Google automata flagged us as mining. We couldn’t get hold of any actual person at Google, …

I can see these popping up all over the show at Burning Man. Maybe the guru dude just knows his audience?

So TL/DR, the author works for a large org with a less than perfect culture? I’d simply move. Even in keeping to companies of similar scale, there are definitely highly successful …

Rancher price increases over the last few years have made it prohibitive for a good number of our customers. Personally, I don't think SUSE has done much to evolve the lifecycle si…

I believe the founding Rancher members left to start Acorn ( https://www.acorn.io ) some time ago.

Kubernetes not required, just tons and tons of hand rolled Actions and env files and compose files and spaghetti bash. I don't understand the Kubernetes resistors, for a little bit…

So, um, Signal? https://github.com/signalapp

It’s actually a Kubernetes focussed course. The JVM isn’t going to auto scale or distribute my service.

Why not put auth on the endpoint and enforce quotas and rate limiting (an api gateway like kong could handle this for you).

Reminiscent of Adrian Cockcroft “Gigalith” architecture. Not sure on the economy of scale though - if you need redundancy on a scale up architecture you essentially need to have pa…

Pioneer? Other than rewriting docket swarm it sounds like a stack from the early 2000s…

Let’s write our own container orchestrator though, because control planes are dumb?

+1 and Gunicorn with an ASGI server/Uvicorn

We're seeing the drive to Internal Development Platforms and Platform Engineering teams who are charged with eliminating developer toil and creating golden paths (ironically coined…

The Shannon number doesn't exist for a middle management role, which could consist of so many variations from organization to organization. I don't disagree that AI assisted decisi…

The 'anabolic window' has largely been disproven. Depending on your goals though, from a resistance training perspective you typically need to be in a caloric surplus (although not…

We've been using K8s to scale incredibly high user and revenue generating services across banks, telcos, insurers for the last half decade. Works pretty well in our opinion ;)
