Really cool. I always wondered if something like this exists but could never find anything. Things like minio are quite different as they don't use the cloud native storage.
Amazing, one more step towards breaking vendor lock in!
- Have you proven the market? (how many people have you talked with? is the pain point big enough that they are willing to pay? how many in the waiting list?)
- Do you have a right to play? (do you have experience in the field that not many people do, etc)
- Are you passionate about the problem?
If you check all 3 then you're in a good position I would say.
I can't ever imagine using it tho :) If my bash scripts are so complex or critical that I feel the need to type check, I will probably use another scripting language where I can do that more easily while still having readable code.
Kubernetes are amazing at what they do, but only relevant to ~0.1% of the companies in my opinion. It's way too complex and too much work for the rest of the world, and not worth the time invested.
A lot can be accomplished with simple virtual machines and some sort of auto scaling groups (depending on your cloud provider they have different names).
Kubernetes are amazing at unifying your workloads on any clouds though. If you care about portability, you should either consider using kubernetes for everything or using a tool that abstracts your configuration in a cloud-agnostic way. Although I'm a bit biased on this one.
I fail to see the right usecase right now, I have never seen the need to store more than a few hundred GB of data on a personal computer or to use a lot of computing resources.
Serverless web hosting with one click looks really cool though, but again, I can only see its usefulness in a few niche cases.
> What good is “change failure rate” if you can’t even jump-to-def across your code?
Exactly. Organizations often focus on the externally visible factors without considering the day-to-day of a developer productivity.
If only we spent more time to refactor/maintain and general tooling instead of more status updates and unnecessary processes, imagine the productivity we could achieve..
At Google we had this simple problem yet it halted our entire team's productivity: IntelliJ started being insanely slow indexing files and auto completing stuff. It was a mixture of generated code and the monorepo that made it take tens of seconds for any kind of autocompletion. It's been there for years but there wasn't much priority to fix it, so things kept going (and probably still keep going) like this...
Every software has bugs of course, but it feels really bad when it happens to crypto projects. Suddenly the value of your coins plummet without any regulation to back you up.
