CSDude··on OpenTelemetry in 2023
Normally yes, but we do a lot of data collection and identifying what's an error is usually hard because of partial errors. We also care about performance, per tenant and per resource with lots of dimensionality and sampling reduces that information for us.
CSDude··on OpenTelemetry in 2023
I love OpenTelemetry and we want to trace almost every span happening. We’d be bankrupt if we went any vendor. We wired opentelemetry with Java magic, 0 effort and pointed to a self hosted Clickhouseand store 700m+ span per day with a 100$ EC2.

CSDude··on AI real-time human full-body photo generator
It's sometimes hilarious: https://generated.photos/human-generator/64e740bfc4c0f8000be...
CSDude··on HashiCorp adopts Business Source License
Inevitable end for every open source company since the free money ended. What bothers me is that wording is vague enough.

> HashiCorp considers a competitive offering to be a product or service provided to users or customers outside of your organization that has significant overlap with the capabilities of HashiCorp’s commercial products or services.

So, consider there is no cost estimate service and you built a thing that got popular (https://github.com/infracost/infracost). Then after 2 years Terraform Cloud catches up. What happens? Are you out of business?

CSDude··on Ask HN: Which distro do you use? (2023)
Arch btw
CSDude··on Kubernetes SidecarContainers feature is merged
It's a shame it took so long. If the main container shutdown (i.e connection drain, processing inflight queue items) takes a while, and your service mesh dies (nice go binary) and main container cannot communicate with internet anymore.

But I'm not sure about initContainers being used. init keyword implies it'd run and die in order for others to continue. Using restartPolicy with init instead of a dedicated sideCars field feels weird.

CSDude··on AI for AWS Documentation
And it's in the docs, RDS Proxy, launched in 2020, before GPT training cut-off

CSDude··on AI for AWS Documentation
Well, I'll pass.

Prompt: how to connect a lambda function to an RDS instance and query it safely?

1. Configure your RDS instance for outbound connections to AWS Lambda. This step involves ensuring that your DB instance is in a public subnet on your VPC and that the instance's "PubliclyAccessible" property is set to true.

CSDude··on Migrating Netflix to GraphQL safely
I don't look for similar movies, I look for the exact movie I want, it's just a redirection of their poor catalog. If that was the intended use case, they'd have proper catalogs to drill down instead of a very long, arbitrary vertical canvas of always changing, non consistent categories.
CSDude··on Migrating Netflix to GraphQL safely
Maybe now GraphQL api can stop auto completing movies that does not exist in their catalog.
CSDude··on Why SQLite is so great for the edge
For our product, (SQL your cloud & saas resources as a service) we want to consider D1, but for security we would want database per tenant. Would that model work for Cloudflare? 1000 databases for 1000 tenants. Or should we use something else with shared tenancy?
CSDude··on Achieving full stack Kubernetes visibility
Same with all, offer hosted version as well, let the community fix bugs for you, restrict the license 3 years later when enough transaction is there.

There are only a handful examples of companies that did not go this way.

CSDude··on The networkQuality tool on macOS
It only shows the link speed. Not the actual bandwidth or responsiveness in the network.
CSDude··on GPT-4 Can’t Replace Striking TV Writers, but Studios Are Going to Try
Well it included some figures in questionable ways that I like my freedom more than internet points :P
CSDude··on GPT-4 Can’t Replace Striking TV Writers, but Studios Are Going to Try
I asked it to mix Turkey elections in the form of a 24 episode and it was great. Cliff hangers, unexpected events, political dilemmas. As good as any episode. Of course the actual writing of dialogs and settings would be important as well, but the plot was great. I can’t post the output because…
CSDude··on Ask HN: Is there still a reason to use Okta for SSO? Okta vs. Google SSO
You want to enforce some more controls when you access to critical things, such as AWS, you can't with Google. It has no granular controls. Otherwise it's much easier. We use JumpCloud though, it's a mix between and more comprhensible.
CSDude··on Ask HN: What's your residential Internet speed and cost?
Mbps :(
CSDude··on Ask HN: What's your residential Internet speed and cost?
1 gbps download, 20 upload (I know lol) 15$
CSDude··on Show HN: Skip the SSO Tax, access your user data with OSS
That's what we try to simplify at Resmo. We integrate with 80+ most popular tools a company might be using. Of course there are some we don't cover yet. Only 3 tools requires paid-tier for API access. Also, we list access Login with Google data from your workspace. We gave a central place for you to list the users and their permissions.

https://resmo.com/saas-discovery

Then you can do `SELECT * FROM users WHERE mail = 'mustafa@resmo.com'`

CSDude··on How does database sharding work?
DocumentDB is a thin layer that converts the mongo commands to Postgres, uses Aurora Postgres. If you check, the constraints are exactly same. Even list RDS CLI returns the DocumentDB clusters.

Most obvious indicator is DocumentDB is single node write whereas Mongo is really not, coming from Aurora Postgres.

CSDude··on Powering a Serverless Web: Vercel Joins AWS Marketplace
That's a misconception. You cannot spend most of the credits with marketplace. For instance, AWS Activate credits issued to startups.
CSDude··on Jsonnet – The Data Templating Language
We've been using Jsonnet to generate Pods for our complex DAGs at Opsgenie, wrote a similar one using Tekton: https://mustafaakin.dev/posts/2020-04-26-using-jsonnet-to-ge...

But if I was doing it again now, I would just use https://cuelang.org/ or https://dagger.io Jsonnet is really hard to debug.

They are not exclusive
CSDude··on New React docs pretend SPAs don't exist anymore
All our application lives behind an authentication except login pages. I still cannot grasp how would I use Nextjs in only SPA mode. Not everything needs to be SSR, I don't want to spare resources, just want to deploy it to S3, put cloudfront infront of it, let 404 requests return index.html and I can use the URLs without #.

SSR should not be a must the docs should reflect that. There is no way I'm paying Vercel 20$ per user for our simple use case or I'm hosting a VM to render pages. I don't care about the improvements SSR would bring in the price of cost, deployment complexity, or any other complexity. Affecting React docs like this to push for SSR does not feel safe to me. I'm happy with my Vite based React TS project.

CSDude··on Show HN: Scriptable.run, make your product extendable by anyone.
Hey fellow ex-Atlassian! This is a nice product. I assume it has derived from the use case at Atlassian, with Forge?

CSDude··on Gitlab’s Startup Acquisition Process
What's the rate of your reject rate, and what are the most common deal breakers, bad signs? It'd be helpful.
CSDude··on Sweet Home 3D is a free interior design application
Not same, a bit harder but this is also free: https://pcon-planner.com/ and also has catalogs for actual furniture firms with actual items (where you need to register but most approve)

I've learnt this because the furniture firm designed a wardrobe for us with wrong dimensions and the designer lady was surprised that I showed them why they made wrong - they put the dimensions for outside of the wall, without taking in the account for wall thickness.

Can I get my dislike button back now? Youtube has been a significantly worse place since that.
