using zalando's patroni operator in k8s at scale for years (mainly OCP but pure k8s as well). Features like in place major version upgrade are no match for any of the alternatives checked. Close to it is CNPG (cloudnative-pg) which is 2nd best and in 1yr might take the crown. (for companies, best part is that cnpg has enterprise support for it (named pg4k, a fork of cnpg).

But, above all, I would warmly recommed anyone to first do their best to use cockroachDB (or yugadb if you like more) instead. The benefits of distributed/horiz scaled DB usually overcome the effort of moving to it (which should not be big as it's using same pg client/protocol). And it's free if you don't need enterprise features like partitions, etc.

do stereograms use this as well? I recall the magic eye books https://www.google.com/search?q=magic+eye

Enough searching around told me what CNCF is, but I still don't know what it means to "graduate"
gattacamovie · 3 years ago
there are 3 stages of a CNCF project: incubation,sandbox,graduated

for each there are conditions, including number of contributors, number of companies oficially backing it, etc.

LimeSdr based solution should be much cheaper than USRP. Either full board, or usb based sticks (v1 or upcoming v2: https://www.crowdsupply.com/lime-micro/limesdr-mini-2/update... )

FBReader (aka FbreaderJ) is a very popular ebook Reader on android 10M+ downloads (and many other platforms). Unfortunately a few years back the owners of https://github.com/geometer/FBReaderJ (1.8k stars) decided to stop open source contributions and go only commercial. Their last open source version has been put here: https://github.com/geometer/FBReader-Android-2 (gradle based) As android SDK evolved, the app is no longer compatible with newer versions. The only fork that I know it made some updates for slightly newer sdk few years back: https://github.com/gelojavonitalla/FBReader-Android-2 and https://github.com/aplicatii-romanesti/FBReader-Android-2 Of course, besides updating sdk there is also a list of bugs which are long due (I can provide a list).

As the project was open till now, there were other open apps based on it, and currently unable to maintain both the main project and their own ones.

gattacamovie commented on Kafka on Kubernetes: What could go wrong?   redpanda.com/blog/kafka-k... · Posted by u/g0xA52A2A
gattacamovie · 4 years ago
as some mentioned, there are benefits and there are costs applying the 'lift and shift' for big things like kafka (and elastic search, DBs, etc). The main assumption is that MOST of your apps (especially the ones affected by kafka access latency) run in k8s already. Access from outside should be mainly for:

a. integrations with other systems which do not have very strict latency constraints

b. replication to disaster recovery site

The benefits are listed (between lines) in both article and below.

Price is is usually still treating those pods like pets:

- one pod per k8s node (taints&node selectors) - special sizing & tunings of the targeted nodes (resources, kernel params, etc)

- one LB per Pod. yes, costly and against what you would expect, but that's what is required for a bullet proof deploy. (delay is not always there, especially in clouds, LB have super efficient implementations (especially gcp)

- bullet proof storage, with the required performance computed in your sizing phase.

maybe we skip the need and move to https://crossplane.io, to abstract all this part as well as gain 2nd day operations natively, and k8s readiness. (bonus: the closest path to cloud agnostic definition)
