I shared an office and an apartment with Kyle in 2010 and I have vivid memories of him routinely talking how bad the state of password managers was at that time. I've been a happy customer since 2017. It's been surreal watching the BitWarden team do what they have over the years. Congratulations!
Yeah to be honest, I run a k8s cluster now for my saas. But about 4 times more expensive then my previous company I ran on a VPS.
And scaling is the same that VPS I could just scale the same way. Run a resize in my hosting company panel. (I dont use autorescal atm)
Only if I would hit about 100x times the nrs I would get the advantage of k8s, but even then I could just split up customers into different VPS.
CI / CD can be done good and bad with both.
And in practice K8S's a lot less stable. Maybe because I'm less experienced with K8S. But also because I think its more complex.
To be honest k8s is one of those dev tools that has to reinvent every concept again, so it has it's own jargon. And then there are these ever changing tools on top of it. It reminds me of JS a few years ago.
That's not the fault of people doing the work, that's what the industry is doing to us.
I get increasingly irritated with the myth that 'DevOps' are any different than the sysadmins of 10 years ago.
"But DevOps can code", yes, so could sysadmins, in fact, terraform, ansible, vagrant, saltstack, chef, puppet etc;etc;etc are all made by people who held the title of sysadmin when they were written.
In fact even the term "DevOps" was originally from a conference, where the idea was that "we can do systems administration in an agile way" -- NOTHING to do with coding, everything to do with getting developers and sysadmins working closely together in an iterative fashion.
I would personally be very happy being called a sysadmin, but doing so is career suicide, because we as an industry have decided that sysadmins are somehow braindead, and that you really need "SREs" or "DevOps" -- despite the fact that these are the same people.
What gets my goat even more is that people hate on sysadmins because of corporate culture, echos of centralised IT organisations that said no to everything.
But we're doing exactly the same thing with these new titles now. It's a joke.
