They charge for a premium plan, as per the article. We pay for a premium plan at our company.

Fargate isn't really expensive? It does have a premium but I wouldn't say 'really expensive'. https://www.trek10.com/blog/fargate-pricing-vs-ec2

From a few years ago? We have used managed ES for a while now and see no issues however I realise its different for everyone.

ollyculverhouse | 5 years ago | on: Designing a scalable API on AWS spot instances

AFAIK with Fargate a lot of this is handled for you, as long as you have the auto scaling group.

We have this setup with two capacity providers (FARGATE_SPOT and FARGATE) with a 75/25% split, meaning that even if there are no spot instances available we will still be up.

The benefit of Fargate being that we don't need to care if certain instance sizes are not available as that is handled by AWS.

All of which you get with Gitlab plus a first class CI/CD system out of the box and a more popular (read familiar) interface which reduces the friction for new developers to get started with KDE.

We perform manual testing and qualification on feature branches (but deployed to a qa or staging environment).

The thing that really helped us was separating the idea of environments and branches.

Easyjet have been a main airline within the UK for many many years. They may be struggling because of the current environment but this isn't a small operation who wouldn't have a security team.

Looks nice! We have been looking at improving our sprint planning process and going to try this out today (instead of our typical spreadsheet!)

ollyculverhouse | 5 years ago | on: Google Meet premium video conferencing is now free for everyone

We don't see that and use Meet (via GSuite) to have external calls with people and have never heard that that require a Google account.

ollyculverhouse | 6 years ago | on: PHP 7.4

So given a web server, what language can 'come close' to the ease of deploying with PHP?

ollyculverhouse | 6 years ago | on: How do most SPAs handle breaking API schema changes?

Is it common to be releasing breaking API schema changes 6 times a day?

ollyculverhouse | 6 years ago | on: Show HN: Komiser – Detect potential AWS cost savings

Supported until September 2020, I don't think they need to be changed now.

ollyculverhouse | 6 years ago | on: Gitlab 11.10 Released

You don't think you get enough value out of Gitlab to justify the seat price? Based on the fact it seems to power all (or majority) of your development process it seems like it would be worth it?

ollyculverhouse | 7 years ago | on: Monzo, a U.K. challenger bank, raises £85M Series E

Err, that is what they offer, banking via an app. If that is a problem for you, maybe you aren't their ideal customer.

How about Gyroscope? https://gyrosco.pe/

ollyculverhouse | 11 years ago | on: Facebook was down

Like it or hate it the Facebook site isn't just any ordinary site. Combined with the fact that its not just web access that is down, this affects all apps and sites that have Like, Follow, Recommend or Sign In integration.

ollyculverhouse | 11 years ago | on: DreamObjects is down

We have used S3 for over 3 years with no issues at all. Care to divulge?

ollyculverhouse | 12 years ago | on: Postman: a powerful HTTP client (for Chrome) to test web services

Chrome can be quickly installed (free) on all platforms. If I don't have a Mac, which I don't, how would I install this Mac application?

ollyculverhouse | 12 years ago | on: Mercedes Is Owning This Formula 1 Season

Not exactly. Webber vs Vettel wasn't really close. Rosberg and Hamilton will be a lot closer.

ollyculverhouse | 12 years ago | on: Early Thoughts on Atom

Does that mean that you haven't yet tried Atom on your laptop? I haven't however haven't heard complaints about performance...
