As a deployment model I bet ECS, fargate and lambda are great. But at the scale of my projects (small) I like being able to run a copy of the full infrastructure (or as much as possible) locally and reuse as much as possible from "prod".

And regarding Kubernetes migrations, once you've made sure you have network and DNS connectivity cross cluster it's essentially just replacing the CSI and LoadBalancer controller. Then the actual data migration there's no magic bullet, depends on what you run.

The USP for Kubernetes is that it's essentially the same no matter where you run it since everything conforms to the Kubernetes API spec.

If you don't want or need local development LARPing prod then anything goes.

So for stuff like secrets management, buckets, api gateways and such, you deploy those services to k8s? And if you don’t mind, is maintaining those services cost effective? I’m asking because I’m always looking to do the trade off of money per time

And then you can no longer deploy anywhere else, sounds perfect for the cloud provider!

I heard about that a few times already, but I never reached a point where my ecs setup combined with other aws services was not enough. If you had everything with just stuff in kubernetes wouldn’t it still be a pretty big deal to migrate?

Mechanical engineering also uses prototypes, iteration, lab testing etc. Building architects build multiple models before the first shovel is put into the ground.

Software is clearly different than "hardware", but it doesn't mean that other industries do not use experiment and iteration.

ok you lost me then xD I was trying to understand what you meant by it not being engineering most of the time.

Personally I don't need to talk with "traditional" engineers to have an opinion there, as I am mechanical engineer that currently deals mostly with software, but still in the context of "traditional" engineering (models and simulation, controls design).

Definitely making software can be engineering, most of the time it is not, not because of the nature of software, but the characteristics of the industry and culture that surrounds it, and argument in this article is not convincing (15 not very random engineers is not that much to support the argument from "family resemblance").

But what about other engineering fields? From what I understand, if you compare it to chemical engineering, you have many more similarities, because you’re doing Hypothesis -> Experiment -> Analyze -> Refine -> Repeat, which seems very similar to what we do in software

I don’t write any structured specs and I still get a lot of value out of it. I basically use it in incremental steps where I’m telling it what I want at a much lower level. Am always watching what it is doing and stopping it to correct the action. At least for me this approach has worked much better than asking it for bigger things.

Don’t forget the native typescript transpiler which reduces the complexity a lot for those using TS

I’ve been working with Elixir professionally for the past 7 or 8 years, and I have to say, phoenix and are great, but it’s the repl I miss the most when I’m building in other languages. The ability to interact with a system, ask questions, try code, is crucial when I’m debugging
