Earlier quoted context omitted.

Interesting thought. I can see your case for some growing companies. However I'm not sure if you would always need Kubernetes for this. What would you like adjust when we grow into a 1000 person company? I think you have still similar requirements like autoscaling, resource allocation, zero-downtime deployments etc. This is also possible without direct access to the container management. And there are a lot of compan…

Here's a few examples of policies/needs that I've seen companies run up against at scale. K8s does a great job solving them. * Understanding which workloads share a node's memory/CPU, and isolating certain workloads for security reasons * Running specific workloads on specific instance types (e.g. with GPU or extra CPU) * Configuring network policy between workloads * Airgapping certain workloads * Setting priority l…

You are totally right. For these specific use cases you probably want full control. :) I guess if you have these requirements a tool like SetOps, which simplifies the management, might not be the right fit then.

Although some of these requirement, like running specific workloads on specific instance types, could easily be implemented.

I donno. I am looking for a simpler solution on top of AWS that abstracts away setting up the services with configuration but doesn't necessarily use containers for everything and def. not Kubernetes. Is this not desirable for others ? All the solutions that I see are focussed on containerizing (I get that to an extent). But I would personally want a service on top of AWS that abstracts away setting up EC2, load bala…

That's exactly the idea with SetOps: using all these components under the hood but abstracting it for the user with a much simpler management. You could give it a try in the demo environment if you like.

Nice project! Just a note of feedback: for a service that advertises with transparently deploying resources to my own AWS account, it is surprisingly difficult to find out to what AWS services the various concepts in setopts maps to. Given that I would be the one paying for any mishaps and overprovisioned resources, it would be good to have a reference for this. Maybe I missed it?

Thank you so much for your feedback. You are not mistaken – it looks like our documentation is currently lacking some of these details. We are going to improve on that within the next days.

I can share a slide of one of our presentations right now which roughly shows the inner workings of SetOps in your AWS account: https://static-media.setops.co/infra/aws-components.png

Crowded space! Flightcontroller, qovery, Architect. Competition is stiff, I am interested to see where your product is heading.

Haha, that's true!

I'm excited to see so much interest in making Cloud Native more accessible. Companies like Qovery and FlightControl make awesome products too, of course. This is not a winner-takes-it-all problem because the market is huge and infrastructure is diverse.

Great developer experience is a win for everyone.

And then old options like:

And maybe:

And probably a dozen more. It's kind of wild.

It is not a one-shot answer for day two operations such as reliable databases, load balancing, backups, certificates, and data security...With SetOps, you don't need to care how we run containers – you'll profit from the sensible choices and long hours our infras…

It's funny you mention that. I'm currently a bit stalled (mostly for lack of time/motivation, but trying to get back on it very recently) trying to build exactly that. I'd be very curious what you think of the premise I've outlined on my landing page [0]. Basically, I have built the same thing a half dozen times and I want to do it for more people, for less money individually. And as part of the bootstrapping and DX, provide training on all the components, how to use them, and why I chose them. Ultimately you should be able to walk away eventually if I've gotten my part right. Or don't, if I can continue adding value at a rate you think is worth it.
