TBH, it makes sense for large incumbents to sell out science on the altar of politics because they are now will profit more from rent seeking than from innovation.
The gravy train will crash. Fortunately, given many of those who facilitated it will die within 20 years, and then that will be someone else's problem.
For some stupid reason, in all browsers it is an insane chore to add an em dash to any document or email. So much so that news hacker Dan Sinker built this.
You're welcome to use it yourself and not pay us a dime. We're a business so we need to monetize but our core is to build a better Kafka. The nice thing is that if you've already invested in building against Kafka but you're exhausted by running Kafka, ours works better and faster. (Again, I'm biased so don't trust me, verify.)
I don’t think that holds here, Redpanda has a Kafka compatible API layer and you can 100% self-host it. Being CNCF or not doesn’t seem like a meaningful or useful distinction here.
The post is long but it was really written from the POV of an infrastructure owner (DevOps) and not from the POV of a service owner/developer which is actually the target for Linkerd 2.0. FWIW - the post says it takes 5 mins to install Istio. I find that very, very hard to believe.
For different definitions of "installed", I guess. I've been at an Istio workshop and it was less than 5 minutes to have it up and functional. Tweaking it obviously takes longer but that's true for every tool.
I'm a big fan of using this type of visualization to add an extra dimension in a digestible way. Adding the third dimension is always the toughest one.
