The rule of law no longer exists in the US. The regime is bragging that an officer who killed a woman on camera won’t even be investigated. And even if there were an investigation or even a criminal conviction, it would just be voided using the executive pardon power. Everyone committing federal crimes on behalf of the regime has de facto absolute immunity for this reason.
"[AWS has] engaged with our customer, and based on this engagement have determined that the reported activity does not require further action from AWS at this time."
Have the author did the reality check exercise? What might seem as awful conditions by some westerner, might be great given other options. Once I read a post about working at Foxconn - assembly line for majority of hardware manufacturers. You might remember people were dropping off the roof because of hard working conditions. Yet they have a line of candidates. Because the other option is working at the same intensity but at no conditioned and barely ventilated clothing shop.
The answer depends on where you would like to spend your time on. If you believe your customers will be yours because yourygreat at operating poatgress datbase - do it, if your value in something else, go with AWS RDs postgress.
Younwill save a ton of time in exchange of delegating database management to aws. Use this time to develop features your customera are looking for. If you would like to leave aws eventually it still be the same postgress that you can run anywhere you like
I love RDS, but it really does not save all that much time beyond initial setup that's trivially contracted out. A low retainer to someone who knows how to do this will be far cheaper than RDS. By all means use RDS when you can justify the cost - if it's a rounding error of your total cost base there's no point finding someone to do a proper setup. But it doesn't all that large or complex a setup before there are huge savings to make even at inflated contractor rates from having someone manage it for you. More so if you do it outside of AWS entirely, though.
This is very oversimplified view on what happens and thus provides wrong solution.
I would recommend you to watch this interview https://youtu.be/6xIeLJGcpfU. Alexander Shtefanov is not
Welcomed by bot Ukrainians and Russian “patriots” because he reveals truth unpleasant for both sides
Could you summarize it in 2-3 sentences? The video is 3 hours long...
EDIT: I couldn't resist and started watching, it's really interesting. The guy also reflect the change I saw in many young Russians. (Dying for Zhukov's statue was especially funny...)
What complexity are we talking about? If your app needs queues, databases or shared storage, it is because of how you designed it. Now just imagine you’re doing this yourself: install servers, os, software, configure integrations, do patches, upgrades, repair hardware. Would it be any simpler?
The comparison should be this vs. aws rather than this vs. bare metal … but I get your point.
Apps need some kind of persistence state. That requires some thought and annoyances to deal with however you do it. There is no leakproof abstraction. Takes 5s to retrieve the data? Get digging!
It is hard to find good content on other verticals though. I saw ask for something like HN for different other industriesmany times here, but never saw any relevant answer
Would you be referring to their pricing page or AWS pricing calculator? Assuming it's later, the AWS pricing calculator displays only 100% utilization Savings Plans rates and doesn't display breakevens. These are useful when determining how much to commit.
Just out of curiosity, what salary you compare with when saying it's really good? Salary is not the only motivator. What is the size of your company? How it is rated as an employer?
For a small/medium business in EU ESC is an overkill. Their data has no strategic value. Just use whatever infrastructure you want.
For any large company working at global level, owning cutting edge technology ESC is not a protection.
US just stolen a president of foreign country, do you really believe they would hesitate to do this with anybody else if they want?
