That's what I meant. It's a standard, and the sunk cost and network effect make it practical. Same as HTTP and SSL compared to SCTP and IPSec. Isn't it sad when you see web devs preferring native apps even more than the general public?

Packaging is very practical, but that's a boring dead end that unfortunately lasted 20+ years. I mentioned Triton in the context of Sun folks who have done containers better and earlier, yet failed to market because Sun went bankrupt. Your long list that was packaged is nothing that can't be developed in-house better with far less complexity. Triton provides no benefit to you, but who knows maybe you'll need dtrace one day.

Unikernels and Xen allow function as a service (I assume you don't need that as well). FaaS is the future, as it's a progression of the micro services trend. Startup time and hardening are not of interest to you as well, so no reason to switch.

I'm not completely against packaging. It's great for open source desktop apps. When it's out of sight away from the user, it turns into a boring game.

Triton and SmartOS are still Sun Microsystems people. Solaris zones preceded Linux containers by almost a decade. They lost the popularity contest, so they have to provide compatibility with kube and docker. I think infrastructure containers are zones with extra whistles.

For even better performance, I'd go with Xen and Linux unikernel. The startup time can be just 1s with such minimum overhead. It also greatly reduces the attack surface. I highly doubt you'll be allowed for such a drastic change though.

I expect all my public posts to be scraped, and I'm fine with that. I'm slightly biased towards it if it's for code generation.

So that's how AI ended up killing

No. I didn't mean to attack you in particular in any way. I apologize if it came off as such. I just dislike the blind copying of what Google and Facebook do. Docker is another atrocity that everyone seems to feel obligated to use.

Heroku supports moderately large amounts of requests. It's less expensive than having a proper sysops team in most cases.

With 1,400 it's probably worth it to move away from AWS. Something like self-hosted Triton (descendant of Solaris) cluster would be far more elegant than kube and lxc.

Penultimate Truth. Predicted containing the cattle using fear of something that doesn't even exist in reality.

Something like heroku is better for out of the box stuff like logging and autoscaling. Some companies like banks have to have their own data center. But they should write their own "tools".

Must be fun looking at 10 pods and pretending to be in control of Google search by proxy. Autists have a peculiar way of day dreaming, as they're extremely limited in imagination. They always seek artificial complications to cover up the fact that what they're doing is actually not far from trivial, and without gatekeeping a school kid would be capable of doing.

So? You're limited by disk space?

A coworker from Alabama once told me that programming is like kissing your sis: you can't get better at it by reading books, you have to try and make mistakes to learn
