Fascinatingly effective, but maybe I'm the only one getting the heebie-jeebies when someone suggests implementing this in production corp networks. Sure it's super convenient, but …

This lists r7iz at the top, and AWS says they run at 3.9 GHz. Dunno where this leaves the m5zn and x2iezn family (at 4.5 GHz), or even the z1d (at 4.0 GHz). Frequency isn't everyth…

What pain points do you see with Amazon ES, if I may ask? I'm considering migrating to it.

How do 32 and 64ths look if you swing on 16ths? Do they end up on a sine-like interpolated curve of sorts, or do changes in velocity happen instantaneously like a square wave?

Reminds me of Lyft's thing from a couple of months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25000950 I would love to get answers to questions like "which users have access to reso…

That cloud provider should be AWS, no? There's no corresponding incident on AWS' status page, which seems a bit strange.

With AWS Route 53's 10 000 records/zone, 400 values/record 255 chars/TXT and base64's ~35% overhead, you have a bit over 600 megabytes of binary value storage.

I was expecting this to be about the NLB's strange "lag" in updating its flows, wreaking havoc when it comes to changes in the target group, and possibly also relating to weirdly l…

This doesn't cover other interesting uses, like tag-based automation. Random examples: Tagging DynamoDB tables to identify which should be backed up and at which frequency (when yo…

Turns out this is about EC2 spot instances for ECS. How would it compare to ECS Fargate spot these days? I'm also missing a discussion about designing for interruption, either by n…

If I were to do it again, I'd consider either that or building it directly on EC2, preparing the AMI with Packer or something, and handling scaling with an autoscaling group.

I really hope it can replace PgBouncer. We've spent way too much time getting it running in ECS, mostly due to us needing a separate PgBouncer service for the primary and replica R…

Yes, for about a year now, both in the console (alacritty) and vscode, and I think it's great. Granted, I mostly ignore it, which is a good thing. I frequently change the term emul…

This looks like it an interesting alternative to Gravitational Teleport.

Do you run into problems with Lambda's 5-minute maximum execution time for those kinds of operations? I'd like to do something similar to this for both RDS and DynamoDB, but the ex…

I'd like to have metadata about the materials used in the lenses, specifically info about wetting agents. My go-to lens is Acuvue Moist, which has the "Lacreon" wetting agent, aka …

"JSON documents are stored relationally, not as a blob/jsonb." How is the transformation designed, to go from a structured document to a flat set of tables, akin to what an object-…
