are these separate services? Are you going to integrate how services preempt into overall system design? My take is that you want to move these decisions into the application tier as much as possible as the first line of defense, both becau

this was always the nice thing at amazon, because you never needed an atomic migration with version sets. it was definitely a case of making many things worse to do than in a monorepo, but more things viable to do.

you can increase profits through volume or margin. right now we are in a whole economy experiment to see how long you can increase margin through price increases and shrinkflation.

one thing to add for passive healthchecking and clientside loadbalancing is that throughput and dilution of signal really matters. there are obviously plenty of low/sparse call volume services where passive healthchecks would take fore

by dastbe 7mo ago
From a dataplane perspective, it does mean your healthchecks are running from a different location than your proxy. So there are risks where routability is impacted for proxy -> dest but not for healthchecker -> dest. For general reli

kind of right, kind of wrong * for client-side load balancing, it's entirely possible to move active healthchecking into a dedicated service and have its results be vended along with discovery. In fact, more managed server-side load ba

They invented a language to avoid you imperatively updating infrastructure, but that's not what CDKTF does; it just makes it easier to materialize that declarative output. It also makes it easier to reason about that output as you can

my expectation is that they would either sell crucial RAM at such a low volume and/or such a high price that it would do more damage to the brand than sunsetting it and returning to it when the slowdown occurs.

Yes. the acknowledgement you're getting in your application code is that the data was persisted in sqlite on that host. There's no mechanism to delay acknowledgement until the write has been asynchronously persisted elsewhere.

litestream makes very few consistency guarantees compared to other datastores, and so I would expect most any issues found would be "working as intended". at the end of the day with litestream, when you respond back to a client wi

the problem is that they want to apply a number of stateful/lookaside load balancing strategies, which become more difficult to do in a fully decentralized system. it’s generally easier to asynchronously aggregate information and eithe

My cheeky answer to "how should this be regulated?" is that sports betting isn't materially different from other high-risk private investments, so it should only be available to accredited investors. Imagine if fanduels/

At this point, you might as well use no cloud provider because at some point someone may be able to be leveraged? Whether that's by your country, another country, or some other nefarious entity.
