Learning pains? It is more complex, but the efforts will return value. Email me if you'd like some help debugging and stabilizing

> It is more complex, but the efforts will return value. It seems Kubernetes is often the wrong tool for the job. The industry, and even Google is starting to recognize that, e.g. Kelsey with his "Monoliths are the future" [1] statement. That said, boy do I like Kubernetes... It is extremely complex, though, and often its deployment seems not to be justified. [1] https://changelog.com/posts/monoliths-are-the-future

Have you heard of Anthos from Google? I think they are directing more resources towards k8s

Monolith / microservices is a separate conversation from orchestration. I have deployed both to Kubernetes for great benefit

I like Perl, but it's had a bit of an identity crisis since Perl 6. I believe late last year, they renamed it to Raku as a 'solution' to this identity crisis. I still think Perl can get the job done in a lot of different circumstances and, despite the fact that it's not really used as widely for web tooling as it was in the late '90s, it's still an invaluable scripting tool for sysadmins still willing to dip their to…

Perl came as a reaction to the Unix tooling that was awk regex and all that jazz. It was designed to replace those tools and it did a good job at that. Times have changed, however, and perl no longer fills a function. We have python now, which surpasses perl in functionality.

What functionality does Python have that Perl doesn't?

I'm legitimately asking because I'm pretty sure there is almost no functionality in Python that isn't in Perl.

In fact of the features I've read about that changed between Python 2 and 3, all of them remind me of a change in Perl. Except Perl didn't break old code in the process.

Ha! I realized this yesterday after considering it (very briefly) for a home lab deployment—I’m pretty sure I dodged a cannonball on that one.

Docker-compose with nginx-proxy should work well for home labs.

You may also use Caddy instead of Ngnix. It's way easier to set up and customize.
