Great to see consolidation in this area. Observability is super important in the cloud/microservices era. Standardizing the collection of logs, metrics and tracing is a big win.

In this equation you are valuing the bootcamp and career placement portion of their offering at $0. If you were to value it $10-15k then it is a different story. At the end of the day they are offering a lot more than just 10k. They are off

I am still praying that some day soon AWS will announce that they are joining Opencensus (along with Google, MS, Datadog, Prometheus)[1] in the hopes that we can move towards standard tooling for observability. They also seriously need to g

Would be great to see global network performance comparisons with smaller providers like Digital Ocean and OVH. Everyone always knocks AWS on their bandwidth pricing, yet the pricing is in line with other major cloud providers and CDNs (GCP

Yea, it definitely has limited immediate value compared to a database as long as it is on a closed network. However it does allow them to experiment with the technology in a controlled fashion. They could have done so quietly but, you know,

Yea I really am hoping their Chromium based browser gives them the combination of broad compatibility and enterprise integration needed bring about the end of IE 11.

Private repos on Docker Hub is definitely a product, especially if you provide a seamless path for moving from source code on GitHub to images on Docker Hub to containers deployed in the cloud or on premise. MS could certainly also do good

A little off topic, but I wonder how long it will be before MS acquires Docker Inc. Seems like an even better fit for them now that they own GitHub. GitHub + Docker Hub on the developer engagement side and Docker Enterprise on the tradition

Yea, there are quite a number of useful nuggets in there. I also liked this bit on complexity from the third post[1] > A second important theme for decentralized systems is a common lack of appreciation for just how complex these system

You think AWS has a reliability problem for their database products? That's news to me. AWS often launches products with limited features, but security, durability and reliability tend to be the standard. Reliability is the trickiest o

It definitely sounds like it sucks from the perspective of an internal AWS developer or SRE, but if the AWS systems are architected such that these internal failures aren't seen by end users then AWS's reliability reputation remai

I certainly agree that they seem half finished in terms of features and developer experience, but from the point of view of security and data durability they have an excellent reputation. They typically have a pretty good reliability story

It makes sense in terms of feeling out the market as well. If this version of the service takes off it validates the decision to proceed with a more complex/scalable version and it gives them more customer feedback. Standard MVP best p

Interesting, how long ago was that? I would be curious to know if the WiredTiger switch ever happened, and what that support relationship looks like not given the contentious relationship between MongoDB and AWS. The old Wired Tiger Inc web

I am pretty frustrated that DB services like Aurora, and now DocumentDB are still limited to last-gen instance types like r4 instead of the latest instances like r5 and t3 which have marked improvements in terms of CPU and networking perfor

I doubt that they actually built this on top of Postgres. They probably just integrated the WiredTiger[1] storage engine used by Mongo with their Aurora storage subsystem. I am however really hoping Amazon provides a MySQL 8.0 compatible ve

People want fast, cheap, easy ways to move money. Most don't particularly care whether or not a middleman is involved. They just want the job to get done and they want it to be simple.

Well said. Decentralization does not magically give you reliability or high availability. Sometimes it is quite the opposite. It is still just a bunch of software running on a bunch of miscellaneous computers over an unreliable network. T

Do you guys plan to add support for the new MySQL X-Protocol? Seems like it would be well suited for this type of architecture, especially when using the document store type APIs.

Interesting, but what I really, really want them to do is EOL IE 11 so that the web can move forward without feeling guilty about the X% of users still on it. IE 11 has unfortunately become the new IE 6. As it is right now I believe the IE
