Wow, we get a lot of applicants. Thanks!

A tip for the upcoming ones: please tell us about yourself instead of repeating the job ad back to us. Leave your AI off for 10 minutes, and give us those spelling mistakes!

Yes. That’s right. But fixed amount of hours per contract.

Although we are flexible to move days back or forth between weeks.

Simple Analytics | DevOps Engineer | REMOTE (worldwide, any timezone) | Full-time, 32h, 24h possible | €5,000/month (full-time) | https://www.simpleanalytics.com/jobs/devops

Hi HN, I'm Adriaan. Simple Analytics exists thanks to HN: it started with my Show HN in 2018 [1]. Today we're a self-funded, profitable team of four building privacy-first analytics.

Privacy is why we run our own bare-metal servers instead of the cloud. We're preparing for a LOT more traffic, and you'll own the infrastructure and its reliability. We have good documentation. First project: leading the infra side of our Elasticsearch to ClickHouse migration, with Alex, our developer.

Stack: Ansible, OpenTofu, Docker Compose, Grafana, GitHub Actions, TypeScript. Clear async communication matters more than knowing every tool.

You can apply from your terminal:

I find it almost funny how hostile the response is when a company actually goes through the effort of supporting Linux. Apparently shipping the Linux version is only step one, you also need to pick the right framework, use the right packaging, consume the right amount of RAM, and preferably rewrite it natively.

> TL;DR: PostgreSQL wraps every statement in a fully transactional context; ClickHouse doesn’t. That means these results aren’t a perfect measure of transaction performance. However, they’re still an interesting and relevant look at how each system handles update workloads under its native execution model.

Ha, nice find! I'm the Adriaan in adriaan.com. I'm testing some new script features that might improve deliverability. It's not sending any personal data. I use another domain to have the least effect of ad-blockers.
