Rolling restart for zero downtime deployments.

I'm aware of these products, but do not fit my use case.

I need to run some services on premises and have set up a self hosted Kubernetes instance on a physical server in a rack.

It could be overkill and maybe I could use something like Docker Swarm. Apart from this I am unsure what I can use that isn't K8s to orchestrate my containers on site.

I'm a developer that uses Kubernetes in production purely because I want to be able to use the same Docker images that I use in development.

I am not a Kubernetes advocate but what else is there that handles all of the issues faced when deploying containers? Such as scaling, deployment, configuration etc?

There are alternatives such as Hashicorps Nomad, but I don't see how this is any better/worse that K8s.

I'm currently reading "Spycatcher" by Peter Wright, I would recommend if you're interested in topics like this.

What do you mean? You can't pay your mortgage with "great company ethos" or "free beers on Friday"?

Another frustrating tactic they have started to use is bait positions with attractive "specifications". They use these to draw you into communicating with them and start offering subpar positions than those initially mentioned in the first communication. The classic bait and switch.

I'm fed up getting messages on LinkedIn along the lines of:

Hi LeBowen You are exactly what TheWorldsBestCompany are looking for, is it OK for us to have a phone call to discuss?

Of course when you try to obtain any information about the position, you're met with vague details about it, but they have this other position you might be interested in.

A few years ago I also found a serious bug in a debt collection agencies web software. I ordered a phone and neglected to pay import tax and was chased by the agency. I found their website and saw that they developed their management software in-house and made it available for purchase for other agencies.

They offered a demo which I used to navigate around, in the demo was a reporting tool which essentially allowed you to send raw SQL queries to an AJAX endpoint. Something along the lines of:

http://demosoftware.com/reports/ajax.php?sql=SELECT * FROM debts

I switched out the demo software domain name for the live version and it worked, not only could I query the database there was no authentication preventing me hitting this end point.

At this point I was left with a dilemma, do I "erase" my debt, do I disclose the bug and pay the debt, or simply pay the debt and move on. I chose to pay the debt and move on due to fear of any recriminations. However it has left me uneasy ever since knowing that this company have such bad security and any debtors they are chasing for payments potentially will have all of their personal data leaked.

What overhead is there using silex instead??

Even if there were an overhead, I'd rather have the stability of a fully tested framework than relying on an implementation with no tests.

What you have essentially done is created a framework, which in order for me to extend your CMS, I am going to have to learn. I also would lose the added benefit of not being able to use existing packages for (insert widely used fw here).

I can't really understand why you aren't using composer as well, it seems as though you are managing your own dependencies in the vendor/ folder?

Look, I have respect for you going out and creating your own cms. But I seem to get constantly disappointed when I dig into the nuts and bolts, and unfortunately this one is no different.

It looks pretty.

I just wish someone would build a decent CMS on top of silex/symfony/laravel, rather than implement their own framework to drive their CMS, such as in this case (Lime?!).

I want all the extensibility of a fully tested framework but with some batteries included. Pagekit looks as though this could cover my needs.
