freeasinbeer posted:Maybe you should go into devops? I didn’t know dev pay was that low. I make 10k more in a lower CoL east coast city and have anecdotally heard that the common Boston salary for SREs/Devops was 140k+. that's the upper end of the range for base salary at not-big-5 but yeah i can confirm that's pretty reasonable for sre work in boston

Pollyanna posted:im still very close in terms of geography and location, and im planning on driving in when i can (or maybe not, we'll find out) - its just that i have to drive on congested boston main roads during rush hours. i dont think i can play the "gib me relocation" card this time where's the new place? i assume 'cause you mention driving that it's burlington or woburn or somewhere around 128. iirc you still live in the city, don't you?

even in the winter it's still an easy commute. the worst will be the park street <--> kendall run on the red line but it's short and usually those stops going in the direction pollyanna is going aren't affected by delays as much as others basically what i'm saying is htfu and

FamDav posted:kubernetes is javascript is rails. a lot of good stuff and superficially easy to start using, marred by the lie (by omission) that it can be hard to maintain and has quite a few sharp edges. much like anything successful. that's why i hate the kubernetes quick start and kops because it turns something really complicated and hard into "easy mode if you only do things the way we do them disregarding your network topography/existing deployments/infrastructure." like you said it's rails for container orchestration it's telling that the actual requirements for running kubernetes is buried under at least 3 links from the home page

Mao Zedong Thot posted:even worse: kubernetes isn't really that complicated (theres like a grand total of 4 major pieces you need to setup) but when you start with some magic push button poo poo, it absolutely turns into a set of whirling blades that you haven't thought about, and that will eventually in fact cut you in prod nope it really isn't but lol if they actually tell you what's required anywhere near the front page of their docs it's this increasing trend of "easy mode" in tech where the reality is that the easiest thing is for pms and execs to be like "let's use this tech no one has ever used before what could possibly go wrong" running kubernetes in production at scale requires provisioning and operating an etcd cluster, a set of master nodes and a set of worker nodes all with a discrete set of configs. actually doing it right involves, in our case, a bunch of work to build a golden image for both flavors of kubernetes and etcd, building out some automation to bootstrap an etcd cluster, automating installation and provisioning of something like heptio authenticator, building out cluster rbac, and configuring kube2iam. on top of that there's building out infrastructure and making sure it plays nice with the clusters. then there's monitoring, understanding the performance profile of the clusters, logging, auditing, abstracting and automating kubectl operations, and, i'm sure, plenty of other things i'm not thinking of. i haven't had to do it yet because i left our platform engineering team because lol gently caress that

qhat posted:What do you do when you need to roll out something more substantial? incremental rollouts with feature flags or reconsider the "thing" entirely and determine if it needs to actually be deployed all at once. usually producing services and persistence layers can be rolled out and validated before consumers, etc. this process requires really good build tooling for a monolith or decent tooling for microservices

if your test suite takes 8 hours to run your app is either way too big and should be broken into commensurate parts that can be deployed independently and each have their own test suite or else your tests are poo poo and probably aren't actually testing valuable things
