Hi there, Right now Uptrace seems to be supporting only Clickhouse sink only. Is there any future roadmap to support other Exporters supported on OpenTelemetry ?
Touches a chord this post.Systems like Kubernetes, Kafka are inherently complicated. My previous company got baremetal from AWS and installed k8s cluster on them. No offense to who architected it, we had multi country infra and made sense to take care of cost advantages on lower cloud costs using alternate providers
We got a lot of critical infra running on them and then slowly there was tech-debt that would start accumulating. Clusters have to get updated , older DNS versions in k8s are slow, networking (Older Weave versions was bursting through the seams when the traffic exploded with many applications onboarded). SRE teams get overwhelmed, constant requests for adding PVC (Kafka & C* was on k8s) took a toll.
Sanity prevailed in the end, there was decision to move to hosted PaaS infra, though I no longer work there, I just reminisced what we were going through.
Though a "cloud-independent" solution will save pennies, it will definitely drown dollars in personnel costs and the uptime/SLA
History repeats itself, because we don't learn from our mistakes (us or others)
both the comments are generalizations :), AIX development and support has been happening from IBM Labs India for a long time (Had some former colleagues who were into it) & if anything platforms like AIX are legacy Unix flavors that will probably not get a lot of people who'd be excited about that.
The government has the ultimate say!, what happens if they order all ISP's to stop traffic to BTC trading sites (or even shutdown internet if it wills)
Solutions like the great firewall exists that constantly "learn" and will lock you out immaterial if the government decides so.So the argument that BTC / Crypto will take me to the moon (SafeMoon) is wishful thinking
The TATA group has diverse businesses in India from Salt to Heavy industries & atleast the new cars that they produce have reputation of better quality & service than a lot of other brands.
You are probably talking about something extremely sweepingly generalistic and that too with no real points (atleast on this). There are lot of concerns of recent about MAC OS releases (discussions on HN on how long term IOS users were unhappy with the buggy OS's released)
That is a very compassionate comment.Thank you!. It is such a sad thing to make sweeping generalizations, I know of many ex employees of these organizations in FAANG, startups. Agreed that the ratio of great technical talent may be small, these companies have 300k employees, a vast majority is maintaining a legacy application that is keeping a business alive somewhere or processing someone's health insurance claim or something important thereof. You will find some really smart people doing products like Finacle, a well adopted core-banking software.
What was done was bad and than talking of bad practices (so many exposed buckets in AWS, miners using compromised EC2 instances from github repos) a vast majority of the discussion seems to be sweeping generalizations of how every single person employed in these companies are!
No place is perfect unless you are living in Utopian LaLa land or one has drunk too much KoolAid. There are problems which are being addressed by state / central governments.
In my home state of Kerala, there is plenty of Water and decent Hydel plants for power.So even the argument that you place is only tangentially accurate.
Not sure I get it. May be it is cultural, but the flamewars after that was borderline spam and personal. Here was someone who was talking of 8 years of their work and the approval for next stage trials showing promise and we had "unrelated" (for lack of a better word) discussion and comments.
General question, There is so much toxicity in Twitter (even on Linkedin) and very little sane conversation (May be not just twitter, many social networks in general). For example recently saw someone post with POTUS on some ground breaking work on Immunotherapy for cancer (this was their 8 year research), replies and comments were outright bad to vulgar (did he smell your hair! went one). Mind you this was not a 4th grader but senior staff, well educated MBA's.
Has social media become a frustration venting outlet? Pretty sure one would come out of the browsing experience exhausted! Who would use this for 8 USD a month!
P.S. not on any social network except for messaging apps (once a day with notifications off)
From my prior experience in a big car company. A lot of us are getting better as well, remember that there is baggage accumulated over the years. Like most things, this takes time. This bureaucracy be shed overnight, it is a painful metamorphosis. I know of systems of record where developers are close to retirement, devices which are fabricated by vendors. Every CIO change swings between "we are a car company, outsource" vs "software is eating the world, insource". Sure enough things are changing for the better.
AFAI recall, this was not a replacement for R-PI or similar desktop computing (IT systems). With constant fear of backdoor(s) in processors exploited by hackers and rogue state actors, there was genuine need for design / fabrication of processors for critical infrastructure (power systems, satellites/space and OT systems of importance (Not IT).)

Sadly it is pretty much the story of the world with a few rare exceptions.
Far right movements ethnic/religion/political have engulfed almost every place , amplified by social media and re-amplified by media.
Note that Hindus get shot in their homes in Indian state of Kashmir too , the latest being 1 day ago.This eye for an eye will take anyone anywhere.
This is sometimes hot and cold sometimes depending on C.I/T/D.O decisions. I used to work for enterprises that said software is eating the world and revenue , insourcing and IP differentiation.
Come next CXO cycle , we are a manufacturing company / Fintech / Insurer and IT is left to the specialists (and sell off entire arms or rebadge).
Aside , no two warehouses may be alike (fragmentation) + the fact that specialized products that keep adding new features find it hard in the data lineage space / governance space. I doubt if this steam will keep up unless there is a significant revenue (and that will be a challenge for anyone who would make a decision on a SaaS product)
