Indeed. If you don't like it, prepare to get into a lot of arguments. EKS/Helm providers in combination with controllers are wild. It forces you to understand every little facet your cluster if _anything_ goes wrong.
I had similar thoughts when I read their article. Their atomic deploy problem completely disappears had they gone with an immutable approach.
Even if you don't use Docker in production, I think it's still very useful tool for local development, combined with docker-compose. When I'm working on one service, I often depend on a few other services too. I usually…
Yeah, this and a couple other reasons have caused me to jump ship (slow boot times, weird config, glitchy UI, plenty of deploy integrations but individually limited, too much downtime e.g. today Travis had trouble…
Could you expand a bit on shorthand property syntax or provide a link to somewhere I could read more? I'm still doing a lot of .bind(this) in many places and I'm looking for an alternative.
I've used Shoutem's standalone UI library[1] for my last project but haven't used their platform as a whole. During that time, I found it painful to get it working. Their documentation[2] wasn't great. It was out of…
Based on my personal experience, sometimes even if the API is yours, making changes can be difficult. The example I first think of is my last company. We had a backend and frontend team, both working on the same product…
Opening it up in incognito mode on the iPhone doesn't seem to work.
It's been a while since I've used Django but at the time (I think 1.6) I couldn't figure out a way to do a migration like adding a non null column to a decent sized relation 100M records without having the table lock…
I've tried localstack once a few months ago to mock SQS and found it really slow to boot, had a pretty high memory footprint, crashed very often (was running inside their official docker container I recall), and lacked…
I wouldn't recommend ECS. I've used it for a little over 6 months and even for trivial things, it lacks. A couple examples that come to mind include not being able to pass host environment variables into your container…
Yeah, agreed. Unfortunately when you inevitably make changes to your CF config, `terraform plan` doesn't help because it's likely you changed something inside the `template_body` and Terraform just knows the string has…
Terraform is great but there are certain things that I still use Cloudformation for (simply because you can't do it right now using Terraform). One example is rolling updates on your ASGs. Last time I checked you can't…
This! I did exactly this before leaving my previous position. We had a friendly 45min call the next day, just talking about my current situation at the time and he was thrilled I reached out to him directly.
I've had my fair share of bad interviews too. Just recently I was interviewing for a full stack position with a company that tried to get me to recite "what happens when I type google.com into my browser". I asked them…
