• We are building a better Heroku

  This post doesn't live up to its title, I'm sorry about that.

  The title should have been 'We are building a better Heroku FOR PRODUCTION APPS' (we'll add the 'for production apps' to the title)

  It should have emphasized the _building_ part, we're just starting. The current 5 minute production app doesn't hold a candle to Heroku at the moment.

  It should have made it clear the goals is to improve the speed with which you can configure a production app, not a development app. Development apps on Heroku are already close to perfect. The examples in this post are contrived since it talks about a development app, as rightly called out by Heroku people https://twitter.com/johnbeynon/status/1374306499426652161

  It should have gone into why hyper clouds might be preferable https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/5-minute-production-app/deploy...

  It should have talked about state, we made a small improvement in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/merge_request... but we should have done the planned work in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/issues/11137 and made one post out of it.

• Kubernetes Failure Stories
  7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Feb 2021

  Disclaimer, I am a CNCF Ambassador (voluntary) - so it's in my interest to promote CNCF projects like Kubernetes.

  It seems like a good time to mention my blog post from last year "Then he asked me “Is Kubernetes right for us?" -> https://alexellisuk.medium.com/then-he-asked-me-is-kubernete...

  Some of the feedback I've had so far is that it was refreshing to get "permission" to consider alternatives vs. the current hype. I use K8s and K3s quite broadly myself, but increasingly see consulting prospects and customers who are not comfortable to make the leap, but are very happy on managed services with their chosen vendor - Azure / AWS / GCP.

  GitLab recently released a bunch of terraform to show you how to run side projects in the free tier of a cloud - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/5-minute-production-app/deploy...

  The OpenFaaS project again is very coupled to Kubernetes, making it easier to use and more reliable is important to the community and project's future. However, we created a version called faasd that works more like docker-compose. It's received much more traction than we expected and companies and individuals are putting it into production. It does't have clustering, and supports only 1 replica per function, so it's surprising.

  I'll keep doing my bit to promote solutions that make K8s easier to understand like K3s (see also k3sup.dev) and to look into alternatives. But as you will see in my blog post - I don't think it's right to assume Kubernetes is the right solution for every team, and every project, without first talking about the problem being solved.

• How long it usually takes to build a CI/CD
  1 project | /r/devops | 10 Jan 2021

  Less than five minutes. I worked closely with GitLab co-founders over the past 7 weeks, and we built the [Five Minute Production](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/5-minute-production-app/deploy-template/-/blob/master/README.md) project that generates AWS infra for webapps with minimal fuss.
