- In that case, can you reduce pricing for customers, too?
- I've been using Docker Swarm for almost 6 years now deploying entire stacks for customers on top of it — it's stable and incredibly cheap to maintain.
- The balance example should have been explained in more detail — it’s clearly a transactional system where the balance is derived from the sum of transaction log data. CRDTs have nothing to do with it and it is a bad example.
- Matt also knows that the messy WordPress API (both actions and filters) is difficult to integrate into a well-architected software project as a plug-and-play mechanism.
- Actually, when someone forks a project creates a new repo. This is not the case, the plugin was indeed a take over instead.
- Although jq query style is not absolutely pleasant I see many examples where this tool can be used such as data transformation, import/export and linux pipelines that need access to databases.
- Docker (and to an extend, Docker Swarm) is a good alternative where simplicity, lightweightness and stability are key points. Using it for almost 4 years in many projects with thousands of views each day, both on single or two VMs. No failures, no surprises, no pitfalls, automated CI via Git. No devops required.
