Each new release there'd be a new release with great new features - yay! - followed by 3-4 patch releases to fix the bugs. You eventually get worn down by it and don't bother using these things.
I see the same with other dual licensed stuff. Kong is a good example - bugs that actually stop routing traffic are eventually acknowledged, but with no feedback unless I keep chasing them. However i'll get regular emails with new products. They've got a new Service Mesh they announced recently. There's not a chance in hell i'll use it until they fix the bugs/issues i've reported in the core product.
So, what value do the SA government have in intercepting these links now?
We put our car keys in a metal tin near the door now which stops all this anyway.
They didn't touch my car even though it was newer, probably because it was a Kia. I am happy with my choice.
I think people sometimes forget that the cloud isn't magic, and a sudden burst of requests for new instances needs somebody to actually rack up some servers.
Going back to the question - certainly in the UK it is massively popular. The company i'm at now is mainly .net, but moving to .net core, probably a majority of jobs in my area are using some flavour.
To some extent I think old school .net is holding it back. Core however will get a lot of traction, nobody wants to pay the Windows tax when they don't need to.
LI is awful.
Used to work on the same industrial park as a critical part of the national grid. Boy racers near there learned very quickly that you'll have a gun pointed at you for being there, and that's in the UK.
It's reasonably easy to run a router/gateway that has a 4G backup to get the ping out. Whether the ping works...
