SAML allows you to send additional attributes with the identity payload, like group memberships. This is not inherently authorisation, but can be used to automatically map users to teams/groups/roles in your application. SAML is a

I had the same thought, I got an alias set up in my ~/.gitconfig to clean up branches that gets deleted from remote when I'm ready `gone = !git branch -vv | awk '/: gone]/{print $1}' | xargs git branch -D`

I think the right balance here is to have ownership of the outcome rather than the thing. E.g. you have ownership of making sure the feature you’re working on makes it to production and works properly With that ownership comes there respons

For basic auth it works well, but the challenge comes when you need to integrate with oidc, need to enforce mfa, enable sso etc. session invalidation is also quite complicated. You need an identity middle man in front of the Postgres identi

I think you underestimate the value of controlling the platform that you base all your revenue from. Chrome controls the internet and android has a huge market share on mobile. The latest changes to chrome that breaks plugins like ublock or

I think it comes down to which type of market you’re in. In some markets, like highly congested markets, design makes a big difference. It can be less important in more niche markets

Even AWS in their own docs says to use the native tools when migrating from postgres to postgres[1]. They don't go into the details to much and points to pg_dump rather than pg_logical, but interesting to see that they don't recom

We're going through this right now with hava.io AWS RDS postgress 11.13 > 15.5 We ended up going with a relatively straight forward approach of unidirectional replication using pglogical. We have some experience doing the same migra

We’ve taken a different approach with hava.io, why draw yourself when you can automatically draw what’s in your cloud environment.

It comes down to "the squeaky wheel gets the grease", if you sit quietly in the corner and get things done, and there are no problems with the work you do. You will be invisible to everyone outside those you work with directly. Th

I've often found that diagrams as code is fine for simple things, but once the complexities start adding up, it becomes as much work maintaining the diagrams as it is to main the actual codebase. I honestly think there is little differ
