2021-05-02 22:10:25 Today I have created an Awesome List of Ukrainian IT Communities. This list is ment to work the same way as any other Awesome list.

Currently, I have only added the communities I am a part of and also IT KPI umbrella. I would appreciate your help in making this list really awesome!

There’s also a web view, if you just want to check it out.

P.S. I haven’t added this list to the general Awesome list because there is a requirement that a list should be older than 30 days. However, I plan to do it once it’s possible

2021-05-01 11:04:33 This is the 10th episode of "Break Things on Purpose" by Gremlin Inc. with Kelsey Hightower as a guest.

The podcast itself is about Chaos Engineering, but this episode is focused more on Kelsey's journey, a role of Kubernetes in the modern world, and the future of the infrastructure development.

If you like podcasts as I do (or if you have a gray rainy morning as I have), this relaxed conversation might be born interesting and comforting for you.

Also, "Break Things on Purpose" create a transcripts to their episodes. So, if you're more comfortable with reading, you're welcome as well.

2021-04-30 14:08:02 A story of a company, which eventually moved their workloads from AWS Lambda to AWS ECS

They have a very specific use case. However, this is still an interesting view into the limitations of AWS FaaS architecture. I'm deliberately avoiding the word "serverless" here, because they moved to Fargate, which is also kinda serverless.

2021-04-28 10:30:45 I'm a bit late with this one. Last week we had a conference to do, so I actually missed a lot.

Pulumi reached the version 3. Congratulations! What's new:
- Automation API. So, now you can trigger it from some other place
- Native providers for Azure and GCP. No more Terraform provider wrappings, I guess
- SDK improvements for Go and Python
- Improvements for the paid users.

So, I guess it's time to give it another try? Last time I checked Pulumi (which was more than a year ago) it was still kinda raw.

Also, it might be a good thing for people, who are still running Terraform 0.11 and hope for an "easy" upgrade to 1.0. Just kidding

2021-04-26 10:14:44 Some good practices of writing SQL queries by Metabase.

With ORMs and other abstracts on top of databases writing raw SQL is not such common practice nowadays, but it's still a valuable skill.

This article contains some general guidelines for SQL syntax as well as some advices. Ofc, there's also an advertising for Metabase. This is their blog in the end of the day.

2021-04-25 17:14:53 Kubernetes is switching to the new release cadence.

Now, there are gonna be 3 releases per year instead of 4 as it was before, beginning with the Kubernetes 1.22 Release. So, now it's going to be easier to keep up with the major upgrades.

You can find a release calendar in that document as well.

Merged proposal
