Never heard of Elastalert, I'll have to check that out. By the name I'm guessing it's triggers off an elasticsearch server, which would cover infrastructure I already have - so that's nice. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hah. I went to college with you. Small world. Will check out your library, I've been doing a lot of work with chatbots over the last year, focused on Slack. I've only really been working with Java solutions though, so a python lib

I've been meaning to use grafana for more than homelab server monitoring. I've always found it so satisfying to sit back after setting up these types of systems and to watch everything churn out metrics / logs. I'll chec

I use slack for a lot of notifications too. We strapped a python chatbot on as an integration and gave the bot access to our product which made asking the bot what's happening really easy. Chatops are catching on, and I'm intrigue

I've been dancing over the line between devops and backend development. It sounds like I am where you were historically, I'm using ansible to deploy docker images to EC2 instances, and a few monitoring scripts in python to do a li

My big issue was getting multi-node deployments working well in AWS. I hit walls of configuration issues, DNS issues, poor documentation on fields, and generally could not make much forward progress. Running locally or on a single node Open

Well that's exciting. I've been pushing towards Kubernetes with the company I'm at right now, got half the battle done by dockerizing our services and using Harbor to manage the containers. Do you have any advice, or gotchas

Yes, but for the unique reason that I have worked on web tracking analytics packages and they are terrifying. From what I have seen working on those packages, the vast majority of users do not care, or do not understand what they are in for

I think that this is a question that will draw a lot of opinionated responses. There are new technologies driving every day both on the front end and back-end that demand attention to stay 'current' with what is going on. I don&#x

I am a not so social software engineer, so take it with a grain of salt. I think I would divide it into three categories * Perks and incentives These are things like coffee, having an espresso machine at work, getting access to free snacks.
