Linkedin is only useful because of the network effects of having a lot of people on it. Most of the complaints about linkedin are about the people on it (and the tendency of some to use it as a platform for self promotion) Any platform looking to replace linkedin would have the same issues.

Not the case; I work at a bank and we have widescale adoption of Kubernetes and cloud products (in fact most of the major banks do at this point)

If you happen to be looking for a DevOps or SRE role, check a large banks job boards, you'll be surprised how many open roles are available.

This sounds awful. if you have a person sharing the same space you live in but turns out to be messy and abhorrent, you'll barely ever get a chance to talk it out with them. Also there seems to be an assumption that both of you work long enough hours that you never bump into each other. Hardly a well thought out plan.

I wrote a set of internal use systems using Lambda and API Gateway. I'm in two minds about it; its handy but at the moment I dont think its mature enough for a critical live system.

I'd like better ways to collect execution data for debugging and more visibility all round. With those it would definitely be a contender.

Is it really a good idea to name your open source module after a trademarked name ? Xeon is the brand name for Intel's line of server and workstation processors and they dont strike me as the kind of firm that would take co-opting of a brand name lightly.

This is a non-story. A number of firms make the same kind of product. The one thats linked isnt even the same brand as the one in the video.

If youre on a tight budget and IO is your main bottleneck it may be easier to purchase a number of decent spec desktop PC's with multiple SSD's in them. SSD's have really come down in price while performance and capacity have improved greatly. Same goes for RAM. (Assumption here is that time is less of a concern than cost at the moment and youre not averse to doing some devops work. Also assuming that the processing youre talking about is some sort of batch processing and not realtime) This way you can try a number of different strategies without blowing the bank on AWS instances (and worst case you have a spare workstation)

How is this different from say mounting s3 as a volume with fuse ?

No support for EMV at the moment on this either. They actually recommend carrying the EMV cards as well which sort of negates the point of having this.

8000 seems like an awfully high number for whats effectively an e-commerce website. Be nice to know some more details of whats happening behind the scenes.
