any chance that a few CORS implementations will break due to this ?

Object Storage - https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/public-cloud/object-storage/

yes, they support rclone https://docs.ovh.com/gb/en/storage/sync-rclone-object-storag...

I get why they might be doing it ( audience building ), but they should have restricted it only to their HomePage or some info pages. ( check azernik's response on how to do this correctly ! )

It's easy to attack Backblaze.

Before attacking them for this, please make sure the company that you are working for or building doesn't do the same thing. ( I know for a fact that a lot of startups make heavy use of Audience building).

Note : I have used their service in the past and moved on to OVH due to a different issue in the past . https://www.backblaze.com/blog/b2-503-500-server-error/

mainly for DevOps related features.

/r took me a lot of effort to convince my CTO to move from Bitbucket to Gitlab. Since we have started using it ( 3 + months ), we have experienced more than 4 instances of downtime. If some one from Gitlab is reading this message, please consider a code freeze and spend some time on stabilizing the system.

time to add a new backup remote to all our repos.

Borat would say "very nice"

They have an almost perfect, managed K8S offering.

Major issue that I am facing with them currently is their managed load balancer offering. They have a cap of 40k Maximum Simultaneous Connections / second. I am mostly sure that they are not measuring it correctly.

they have random resource limits which don't make sense.

Also I think AWS lightsail is a competition to DO, but AWS doesn't seem to be promoting it that much.

What are the security implications of it for their customers ?

No Nitro... Just a Mac mini

this nitro https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/nitro/

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

/s isn't that Zcash ? the price doesn't change much. /s

Zcash will be adding support for user defined assets. may be some one will create a stable coin based on Zcash using this.

Some one had mentioned it in the thread. Looks like it's deleted now.

Heroku which was acquired by Salesforce seems to be doing ok ?

doesn't Salesforce already has something like this ? Heroku addons ?

I am using Rancher and it has option to configure private registries. I cannot use a user/password combo to login to the registry without using aws command.

I tried their private registry. it works , but authentication is a pain.

this is a general statement.

I have found several articles about Apache Kafka on Medium that have helped me a lot. I have no idea if it's by a junior dev or not.

Awesome !

Question : Can a solo developer have access to the API's ? ( No registered company ? )

I run a replicated ClickHouse server setup, Clickhouse uses zookeeper to enable replication. The zookeeper instance was not replicated.it was a single node. The server on which zookeeper was running ran out of hard disk and Clickhouse went into read only mode. Luckily,no data was lost while this happened because we use RabbitMq to store the messages before it gets written to the db. Thanks to RabbitMq's ACK mechanism.

depends on the type of project for sure. possessing knowledge of OTP is a superpower. when working on any serious project, it will always help if there is at least one developer in the team who has knowledge about it.

Sorry for going offtopic

"How do you make sure that a celebrity's tweet reaches all of her followers in less than 3 seconds?"

Looks like the interviewer has atleast read the first chapter of "Designing Data-Intensive Applications: The Big Ideas Behind Reliable, Scalable, and Maintainable Systems"

If you read and understand the above book, I am reasonably sure that you can crack most of the system design interviews.

interesting .. is the price flat even If there are lookups in billions ?

Congratulations on Shipping !

This is an interesting problem to solve .

ClickHouse support will make it way more interesting.

Are you planning to leverage Materialized views ?

most of the news sites will use some form of programmatic ads which will involve Google in some form inevitably.

doing a geo based redirection was my first golang project that got deployed to prod.

Nginx + GeoIP2 module sets a HTTP request header and proxies the request to the golang app.

The go app does a lookup from redis, based a combination of country header and some url params and responds back with a redirect header.

Hosted it on a t2 medium in EC2 and I have seen it easily handle ~1500 requests / second without any issue.

Mhm. Can you please add some details on how you are using it ?

I just signed up and started using it. Cannot really give a review about it,but the UI is really good. Would like to know the tech stack behind it.

I not expecting 100 % reliability.

but when we get a 503 response it should be considered an an error and acknowledged by the provider that it's an error.

in my use case, we were using a CDN which was configured to pull files from B2. When B2 responds with a 503/500 I have no control on the retry mechanism.

The error rate was around 5-10%

It usually works , but we have had some issues with high loads, please check my other reply in this thread.

Used B2 heavily until recently as a origin server for a CDN. Few weeks ago we saw a spike in 502 / 504 responses.

When I contacted their customer supported , I was pointed to the following URL where they explain in detail how they handle these errors https://www.backblaze.com/blog/b2-503-500-server-error/

Essentially they are not considered as errors and expect the client to retry loading the file. This approach won't work in our use case.

most likely backblaze B2.

Edit: OVH ?
