Readit NewsHave you used the Jenkins Job DSL plugin?
I'm just getting started using it, but it seems like the solution to scaling up to a lot of Jenkins jobs. There's a good talk about it, and since you're one of only two people in the thread who used the word DSL and you are having a good experience with Jenkins, I thought I'd ask.
My config is similar except my single EC2 node is actually running Kubernetes via kubeadm, it's a single node Kubernetes cluster and has enough room for about 3 of my worker pods to execute concurrently before the rest have to wait.
(But that's just my setup and has nothing to do with Job DSL.)
For me, managing Jenkins via the helm chart has been the best part of the deal, but I'm a pretty big fan of Helm already...
I haven’t used it, we use the GitHub Org Folder scan to automatically add a job for every Repo that has a Jenkinsfile- so I don’t have to do anything, it’s pretty great.
We use Jenkins at work and have found a pretty damned sweet spot.
Let me start by saying that we used to use GitLab, a lot of it was because of the CI but I didn’t have a great experience trying to manage it on top of Kubernetes, they’ve since introduced a Kube native package and I’ve been told it’s much easier, but with the deployed omnibus we ran into a lot of issues with runners randomly disconnecting, it became frustrating to the point where I had developers not wanting to use GitLab and finding interesting ways to work around it.
So I set up Jenkins on a dedicated EC2 instance with a large EBS volume for workplace storage and installed the Jenkins plugin then I wrote a Jenkins library package that exposes a function to read a gitlab yaml file and generates the appropriate stages with parallel steps that execute as pods in khbernetes - took about a week to get the things we actually used from Gitlab CI and their YAML DSL working correctly.
Now we very happily use Jenkins, mostly through YAML but in the occasions where things are much easier going directly to Groovy to use interface with plugins, developers can.
I want to specify this is my own experience and I think a lot of our own issues may have been from mismanaging our self-deployed setup. I’ve had a lot more experience managing Jenkins.
GitLab and their approach to CI (easy to use yaml) really facilitated developers writing CI, which increased our software quality overall.

Have used several browser fingerprinting services and have tried a few of the techniques myself, they're incredibly useful for fraud prevention when said fingerprint is reported against a central database alongside with the fraud that happened to _you_. The next time said fingerprint shows up at an eCommerce site, they'll be blocked off from purchasing or at least flagged for additional verification.
They're also just useful for super targeted ads.

Should've specified, we're moving away from Deis V1 (CoreOS-based).

It's just an nginx reverse proxy, there is a publicly available version at https://hn.galindo.io (if its somehow abused I'll make it private)
Note: It doesn't allow anything but GET requests and will strip the Cookie header.
