I am still curious. As a FB software engineer you can probably work at any company you want to, so one must assume you want to work at Meta. And why is this? Serious question here,…

I made this nice little client/server socket lib which has the same interface both for TCP sockets and WebSockets. Free to use, MIT licensed. You all know that browsers require Web…

Sure :) follow me as @bashlund on twitter but also star the repo on github https://github.com/simplenetes-io/simplenetes

Thanks for asking :) Writing this much Bash is quite straining because there is a lot of typing, but it is also liberating in the sense of coding very close to the OS (utils). Also…

Indeed, the goal has to keep the number of moving parts down as much as possible so it can be easy to understand the full cluster and how to troubleshoot it. But of course, it stil…

Thanks, We use haproxy pods for inbound traffic, they perform TLS termination and simply pass the traffic over to a local proxy pod. The haproxy pod (and all other pods) communicat…

I have really enjoyed using Podman and will keep using it. I have found it be to stable (running on CentOS) for our production stuff. Shameless plug: We built Simplenetes[1] around…

I like the detailed questions :) The line count is a rough (overestimate) summoning the source of the three projects involved, simplenetes, simplenetesd and podc, and it also inclu…

You are looking at the `./release/sns` file, which is the "compiled" release, it's like looking at the .exe (404 kb isn't that bad for an ".exe") The source files involved are smal…

Thanks for taking the time l0b0! A lot of good points. Coding in shell sure is a challenge, I try to avoid bashims where I can, that's why most scripts are .sh not .bash, since the…

Thanks for sharing, I'll have a peek :) Heroku is ACE

Thank you :)

Thank you aabhay for a nice comment. Seems like my click-baity title brought out some strong feelings :) I do actually like Kubernetes. I recommend it to clients, I assess candidat…

If you want something simpler and use podman you can try `podc` [1] which compiles a pod yaml spec into a single executable shell script with a nice managagement CLI api to it. [1]…

Thanks!! We do use it in production, it is however fresh from the keyb so giving it some time before putting sensitive stuff in there. About the state, it's perfectly doable, but r…

No, don't build the next Netflix on Simplenetes. However, if you are just dealing with a three node cluster (Yes I know many of you are running tri-cycles with k8s stickers on it) …

Oh geez.. Hehe, thank you for pointing that out facepalm

Haha :) Well, the learning has been great I can confirm that. My script-fu is on a whole new level now, it was already quite up there after creating Space.sh [1] Waste of time... W…

Thanks :) The real use case is super simple clusters, which could be just 1 node, no etcd, no API (SSH managed), no iptables. Simplenetes is not a living breathing thing which auto…

Simplenetes does support state, no sweat. But it can't pull a disk out of the cloud for you, there is some traditional Ops involved.
