I think the interesting opportunity here is can bring this real-time workflow to professional software teams that use git and micro-services?

The blog post talks about how the api server was dropping web hooks, and there is no re-try mechanism built into most web hook senders. Scaling out an api server is not resilient enough, and there needs to be a queue-based system fronting y

Travis CI and Circle CI push code to a staging or production environment. So you still need to setup a full-stack environment to do end-to-end testing. Runnable let's you have end-to-end (full-stack) environments with every branch. The

Founder here. Check us out for your future jobs. Maintaining sandbox infrastructure is a pain. One of our key lessons is being able to dispose and rebuild your infrastructure on a daily or weekly basis so leaks don't destroy your envir

Hey appleton - Here are some differences 1) You don't have to re-configure your environment variables and 3rd party APIs for each branch on Runnable. Every branch runs in the same sandboxed environment with the same env variables and 3

Yes, every branch can get a clone of your gigabyte database. This works by applying Copy-on-Write to the containers running your stateful containers. So it becomes very easy to test schema changes and migrations with this approach

by ykumar6 11y ago
CircleCI doesn't host your containers. They just build and test them. Runnable runs actual environments for your branches

Amazon Elastic Container Service is a robust offering and I can't see why anyone would choose Tutum over ECS. Yes, you can run Tutum on AWS, but why? When products can't substantially differentiate themselves against AWS, the cust

Yes, I 100% understand that point. But I repeat what I'm saying, this isn't a concern for most developers and most software companies. They don't care how a page table is written. They don't care about optimizing that. E

Yes, but do software companies really care about "giving direct, (but mediated), control to the programs". What is the trade-off between that, and the added complexity in understanding all the different ways you can program someth

The real problem with abstractions it promotes the lowest common denominator. If you have lots of different storage options, an abstraction will try to abstract them and create a standardized interface. But this is a trade-off. The real ben

The question remains if companies and developers value or care about the flexibility of creating "page table rules". For highly scalable systems, the perf trade-off is just a matter of spinning up more VMs. The higher-order benefi

They are making 2 separate arguments then. What they are arguing against is standardization, which is just as important

by ykumar6 11y ago
Abstractions are important as they reduce complexity, and simplify operations. The foundation of computing is based off abstraction - using layers and interfaces to hide complexity, so developers can focus on higher-order problems. This art
