Curious how you run things and have good work life balance for your employees, with so few people? Especially with the migration to k8s. K8s is much more complex than Heroku, some even say it requires an entire infra engineering team to man

Anyone know how this compares with stackgres and cloudnative-pg? Looks like this supports mysql and mongodb, which the others don't.

Sure you can use an AWS ASG, but I assume you also tie that into an AWS AlB/NLB. Then you use ACM for certs and now you are locked in to AWS times 3. Instead you can do those 3 and more in k8s and it would be the same manifests regard

I think what they should have said is "there isn't a tool like Helm for ECS" If you want to deploy a full prometheus, grafana, alertmanager, etc stack on ECS, good luck with that, no one has written the task definition for y

It doesn't have to be that way though. You can use the AWS ingress controller, or you can use ingress-nginx. You can use external secrets operator and tie it into AWS Secrets manager, or you can tie it into 1pass, or Hashicorp Vault.

I agree with this somewhat. The other day I was driving home and I saw a sprinkler head and broke on the side of the road and was spraying water everywhere. It made me think, why aren't sprinkler systems designed with HA in mind? Wh

k8s is complex, if you don't need the following you probably shouldn't use it: * Service discovery * Auto bin packing * Load Balancing * Automated rollouts and rollbacks * Horizonal scaling * Probably more I forgot about You also

Helm Charts and Terraform are different things IMO. Terraform is better used to deploying cloud resources (s3 bucket, EKS cluster, EKS workers, RDS, etc). Sure you can manage your k8s workloads with Terraform, but I wouldn't recommend

Most people on Nostr are pro Bitcoin, not pro cryptocurrency. Bitcoin and crypto are not the same. There have been tons of scams in crypto, but not in Bitcoin. Sure there were people who created a scam and told people to send them their

This has been my experience as well. e.g. if you read anything on your local cities subreddit you will think everyone in the city is left leaning. You will think that anyone who isn't left leaning is the devil; they are pedophiles, co

Very cool stuff. This type of life is why I originally got into tech. Few thoughts: - I wish this guy had a personal blog that I could subscribe to. I like that post, but I could care less about the rest of the blog posts on his employers s

All the cloud providers offer a storage class for k8s. The storage class allows you to tell k8s that you want a persistent volume (PV) and it will make API calls to the cloud provider to get you a block storage device. You can tell k8s yo

IME yes, yes it is. I usually tell people running a k8s cluster is similar to running your own "cloud". If you want to just deploy an EC2 instance you just tell AWS you want an EC2 instance and you are done (mostly). You don&#x

This seems to be the common advise given, but I don't fully agree. There have been many times in my career where a DB was on a VM with the storage attached via a cloud providers block storage. When asked if we should move it to k8s,

Proxmox already has clusters that allows you to live migrate VMs between nodes.

How do you like this setup? I've been thinking of moving from docker-compose to podman, specifically using the [podman-play-kube]( https://docs.podman.io/en/v4.2/markdown/podman-play-kube.1.h... ) but have

I'm sad there isn't any talk about nostr on here. Even if Reddit dies and everyone moves to Lemmy or some other alternative it's only a matter of time before something similar happens to Lemmy. Sure with Lemmy it wouldn&#x2

Maybe they can find a local Hackerspace that will help get a better dev environment setup? If the have tech skills I would think they could get a basic job easily.

How many servers do you have on this setup? How do you handle persistent storage with docker swarm?

Thing that kills the dells is soldered on ram. Framework is much better than any of these dells and usually cheaper.

Very cool idea. I'd love to hear more about how the back end works and what types of software you wrote to interact with the Minecraft server.

Good point. I think it might be more important with SSDs actually when they fail they typically fail 100%. When HDDs fail you can sometimes get some data off or even use software tools to repair the disk(s) and get all your data back.
