What's with the vilification of kubernetes? 99% of this document ( https://tau.how/99-Misc/kubernetes/01-k8s-cons/ ) boils down to "You have to understand what a pod, deployment, container, etc is" once you remove every line that discusses the cons of managing a cluster yourself, because nobody actually does that except extremely large orgs. All of these problems go away when you utilize a managed offering like DOKS,…
If your goal is to self-host your own PaaS, why would you use a managed k8s offering?
Looks compelling, but the docs are extremely vague and full of fluff. The "Why One Binary" is hilariously bad. Almost feels like content to impress managers/recruiters. https://tau.how/02-concepts/03-one-binary/#the-genesis-of-ta...
Self-hosted platform as a service?! Isn't the whole point of platforms as a service (from the customer perspective) that you don't need to do the hassle of self hosting. There are pros and cons to using an external service and to self hosting. And just throwing all these words at me together makes me feel like there isn't a coherent mental model of what this is trying to be, or if there is it isn't clearly communicat…
Two large marketplaces in my country I know of have their own self-hosted PaaS (I know some of their devs personally). They're microservice-driven and have many small teams. One of their devs showcased me their platform where a small team can launch a new microservice with a few simple configs/CLI commands without having to know anything about infrastructure (it has built-in monitoring, logging, scalability options, discovery etc., full package). I guess it lowers costs because they have a lot of traffic. And they made it super easy to use for small teams with no cloud expertise. Faster deployments because each small team manages their microservices on their own. Plus, no vendor lock-in. I can imagine the pain of migrating 3000 microservices off a vendor. However, I think for small companies self-hosted PaaS is an overkill. Those companies have dedicated teams who work solely on PaaS.

I disagree hard with this. I love kubernetes to bits, but managing complex networking issues, having proper security, or just simply rightsizing the nodes is definitely not going away with having a managed control plane.
Google's autopilot takes care of that stuff for average use cases. You just point a few yaml files at it any your app is running.
It's not like netlify does better in terms of rightizing nodes.
It will be interesting to see how these companies evolve their business strategy once PE/VCs are pressuring them to IPO/get bought out. It seems like any customer that is large enough to have significant billing would just bring the platform in house instead of paying for the hosted version. I guess they could take the docker desktop approach with their licensing that >X million in revenue still requires a license of…
They are using technologies such that the system can self-heal, and self-deploy (with auto discovery) ... so there's a misalignment of incentives for the product and a hosting business. I like the ideas they are trying, so I wish the best of luck to them. Hopefully, they'll find a business model that is better aligned with the product.
Maybe they’ll become consultants helping big customers use the platform to fund its development.

Starting off with "In the realm of..." instantly gave it away
It sounds bigger then it is, raid 10 cuts it in half after all (30tb HDD, 2tb NVMe) It's mostly just for the *arr stack, various self hosted services like vaultwarden, seafile etc and my personal toy projects. I.e. a pwa book reader along with the occasional dev tool I wanna experiment with.
