Amazon Bedrock Mantle provides OpenAI compatible API endpoints for model inference, powered by Mantle, a distributed inference engine for large-scale machine learning model serving. These endpoints allow you to use familiar OpenAI SDKs and tools with Amazon Bedrock models, enabling you to migrate existing applications with minimal code changes—simply update your base URL and API key.

Transaction boundaries are a critical aspect of a system.

I've often noticed that these boundaries are not considered when carving out microservices.

Subsequently, workarounds are put in place that tend to be complicated as they attempt to implement two phase commits.

K8S is not easy.

  It helps standardize:
    - deployments of containers
    - health checks
    - cron jobs
    - load balancing
What is the "old way" of doing things?

Is it same/similar across teams within and outside your organization.

If not, what would it cost to build consensus and shared understanding?

How would you build this consensus outside your organization?

For small organizations, one should do whatever makes them productive.

However, as soon as you need to standardize across teams and projects, you can either build your own standards and tooling or use something like K8S.

  Once you have K8S, the extensibility feature kicks in to address issues such as:
   - Encrypted comms between pods
   - Rotating short lived certificates
I don't love K8S.

However, if not K8S then, what alternative should we consider to build consensus and a shared understanding?

I love Cloudflare & their products.

From a moat perspective, I wonder if the TAM of this business in the context of the three cloud providers is substantial.

Their stock price is back down to reasonable levels.

Perhaps they'll remain a niche player in the market?

This is a lot of security to give away in order to read news articles for free.

From https://incoggo.com/faq/

  If you’re a very security-minded individual (or you use your computer for very sensitive tasks), before using Incoggo you may want to be aware that the application does the following:

  Upon installation, Incoggo adds a file to your system’s sudoers.d folder that whitelists specific commands from requiring a sudo password to perform. (This allows Incoggo to manage your system proxy settings, kill certain processes on shutdown / restart, and perform tasks related to Incoggo’s auto-updating feature without requiring that a sudo password be prompted each time.)

  Incoggo loads external Javascript files when you visit specific domains (i.e. those we filter paywalls / clear cookies on / clear storage on / etc.).

  Incoggo overwrites a few system defaults (re: open page / process limits) at runtime for performance reasons.

  Upon installation, Incoggo also installs a trusted root certificate in your system keystore. This is required for Incoggo’s advanced filtering functionality to work (unlike the issues above – which we intend to clean up shortly – this one is a hard requirement for the app to work).
