ok, this may be a red herring. Still, in a couple of years when Compose Multiplatform is mature, and Google is looking to boost profit margin, they may rationalise their investment in multiple Cross Platform toolkits. I think most agree tha

One datapoint is that Google rewrote their Google Docs app in KMM (which doesn't include UI, that's Compose Multiplatform), replacing their legacy in-house framework. They intend to write more of their apps in it. They also recent

A monolith on GCP Cloud Run + Postgres Alloy db is as close to Heroku as exists today. No external tools for ci, deployments/rollbacks, logs, metrics are needed. Zero lock-in, nothing to maintain. If for some reason you get to 10+ serv

maybe you're right, but I'd be skeptical. In a non-snarky way, this shows the data sources used in models to date up to GPT 3. https://lifearchitect.ai/whats-in-my-ai/ OpenAI paid $2m/year for twitter fe

My sweet summer child, this is a closely guarded secret. Will only be revealed if perhaps Europe demands it so that copyright holders can sue.

That's impressive, surprised there's that much juice that could be squeezed without changing architecture. I ask because AWS Aurora is flattered in comparison to RDS due to e.g. some dumb oob pg settings that a lot of people don&#

This looks great! For the 2x general improvement, how much of that is due to setting/modifying postgres settings and adding good indexes, versus improvements to the code itself?

There seems to be major disengenuousness on behalf of EPIC and Cerner, and some ignorance on behalf of WSJ. GCP != Google Health, at least for the purposes of patient privacy. If you hold the encryption keys, google can't do anything,

thanks, I hope you're right, GCP doesn't appear to be clear on this point, seems to be offering free trial up to May 2020 and then who know. I'm aware of the ability to set it up from open source which is a great fallback!

Thanks, although unfortunately I'm not in the price bracket for Anthos (starts at 120k/year or so I believe).

started using this... pretty awesome vs the wall of yaml it replaces. Not suitable for all workloads (max 1cpu/2 gigs ram, 4 minute max pod startup time, can't do background work when not serving a request). But it replaces cert-m

On GKE, you don't need to define node-pools if you tick enable node-autoprovisioning. This is effectively an EKS fargate profile without any of the limitations (discrete node size, inability to mount volumes etc) On GKE the

so this will run on AWS and Azure too.... what is it going to use to provision the cluster, kops?

yea this seems a lot like how I do things with Jenkins-x preview environments. Other parts of the stack are pulled in based on the latest version of the respective helm charts.

I can see independent software vendors like Heptio and Canonical being the main beneficiary of this deal. IBM can sweat the old large companies but they have no credible cloud offering and this doesn't change that. Converting on-prem t

Mongo licensing prevents DO doing this themselves, although they could partner with them.

very interesting. With this and the new DO kubernetes offering (if both are reliable), DO could be a compelling option for postgres-based kubernetes clusters baseload - circa half the price of google cloud. All the other stuff you need like

Fully agree with his comments as someone who's used GKE, AKS, EKS and Hetzner for kubernetes clusters. GCP's UX is so nice... e.g. compare the equivalent as command line option in the UI vs the automation script that Azure gives y

If you're going the kube route, I would go with GKE with pre-emptible nodes. You can have a single micro base node ($25/month), and then an auto-scaling, pre-emptible pool for a discount of 80%/month vs spot prices on AWS&#x2

It will be great to have Fargate as a provider for the virtual kubelet along with Azure (and I forgot to mention Hyper.sh). Do you know if AWS plan to build a virtual kubelet provider themselves or let the community?

I watched the overview video below and the tldr for me is that although serverless is doable now and can be done well, the tooling is not there yet, and you're also locked into AWS. So check back in back in 2-3 years. For me, I think K
