I'm actually saying the opposite of this. To learn react you also need to know html, css and javascript, so I am saying if you need to make a static website that is just a single page you may as well just write it in HTML. I am saying you should use less technology.
Similarly to learn Docker you need to know bash so you already have the skills to just skip over docker and deploy your app directly by running bash commands on a linux server.
The "50 different technologies" is how I see the flavour-of-the-month cloud platforms that take something that's relatively simple (copying code to a server and running a command to start it) and turning it into a proprietary cloud platform you now have to learn. Whereas you could have just learnt how to deploy software to a linux server instead and have a skill that was valuable 20 years ago, is still valuable, and will still be the way software is fundamentally run in 20 years time as well I am sure. Meanwhile I have no idea what Dokku and Kamal even are - I'm sure they won't last as long as linux and bash have.
- josegonzalez 10d agoDokku maintainer here. I'm sure bash will outlast me. I do hope to work on Dokku for another 10/20/40 years, but if there's a better project out there, I'd be happy to help users migrate and bow out of the deployment space. I maintain Dokku for the folks that don't want to build and maintain a bespoke deployment process around docker, and the k3s implementation uses helm at its core, so users can eject when Dokku has run its course. I think there is value in that - maybe not for everyone, but at least for folks busy with building product on a budget. That said, I'm happy to see folks continue to build new tools and iterate on ideas in this space. Definitely cool to see how everyone improves on stuff I - and others - been working on for the last two decades.
