• What's New in Ruby on Rails 8

  Totally, I think there's a lot of retroactive justification for what's familiar whether it be microservice or monolith. They both have advantages and disadvantages -- we're at a point where deploying and running either is available on most clouds. That said, I think interesting possibilities exist where the two approaches are blended. I work for a cloud [1] that supports a concept of "services" grouped within an... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Internal feedback tool for webapps, how to QA?

  I don't know of an internal feedback tool, that's not more general purpose. I think a lot of what you're describing is the-practice-of-software-development. There are Lots of possible solutions, what works best for _your_ team will be somewhat unique to them. The company I work for [0] provides application hosting which includes automatic preview URLs, that can also be associated with a Github PR. The PR will have... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Dev/Ops/DevOps tools you use and more people should

  Noop [0] is a cloud platform that runs entire application ecosystems (including edge routing) locally and deploys the same setups globally -- it's a departure from the plug and play paradigm of kubernetes, but it means a lot less integration work. Full disclosure, I work @Noop. 0. https://noop.dev. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Has anyone used AI to diagnose system logs?

  The company [0] I work for gave a talk on this [1]. We're going a bit beyond analyzing logs because we have more contextual information about running software so we can compare different application state over time and infer whether it appears the application is experiencing an "incident". 0. https://noop.dev 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxZx71xfIl8. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• General Availability of .NET Aspire: Simplifying .NET Cloud-Native Development

  If I understand correctly, the benefit of using this over something like Compose is the parity with production. In my experience Compose is great for local development, but doesn't hold up well for complex architectures in production. I work for a company [0] building something similar, but mostly agnostic to programming language. One thing I particularly like about the approach is the reduction of time debugging... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Startups – Are you on a monorepo or multi-repo set up?

  We are building an application/infra platform, Noop [0], it's multi-repo, one key benefit is it facilitates the deployment of different system components with greater isolation. That said, I'm a big fan of mono-repo. Noop actually supports developing mono-repos in a really interesting way. Here's an example [1] Vue + Node backend in one app. It should be pretty straightforward to see how you might be able to... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Those of you who don't use AWS/Azure/GCP, what do you use for hosting?

  Have you considered using a provider that might help eliminate some of the operational burden of running your apps? At a very high level, when using the big 3 and hosting that's raw infra you're going to find ways to pay for _keeping things running smoothly_. At least the big three have happy paths to avoid some of the operational burden (hidden among many many foot guns). Full disclosure I work at noop.dev [1], a... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Kubernetes Is Not the Point

  Disclosure I work for a company, Noop [1], which is the picture of the steak. As someone working on the marketing side of the endeavor, I see the shift the author describes. There are a handful of PaaS companies picking up where Heroku left off and in the enterprise world devops is evolving toward "platform engineering". Platform engineering suffers from being poorly defined, but there appears to be growing demand... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Startup Devs -What's your biggest pain while managing cloud deployments?

  Full disclosure I work at a company [1] attempting to address this very problem. Without dedicated devops the challenge is allocating developer time to do the integration work required to get the various ops tools playing nicely together. In my experience that work is non-trivial and eventually leads to some form of dedicated ops. That is also part of a dynamic -- lots of tools available for solving these problems... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Is there a place where one can learn about platform engineering

  Right now the term platform engineering seems to be a reflection of a collective intuition that software engineering teams need to have common patterns to simplify operating software. I think it stems in large part from the complexity associated with running software in a deployed environment. Often, every system, from development to deployment is mired in process. Tools and concepts have emerged to deal with... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
