CockroachDB is to Spanner what Kubernetes is to Borg.
I would argue that Kubernetes is more "open" in terms of core functionality and community ownership. CockroachDB biggest challenge will be balancing commercial success with the needs of the broader community.
If feature gating becomes a problem then expect the community to respond over time with new challengers. Think Nginx vs Envoy.

After building my first custom Lambda runtime, it's safe to say AWS hit a home run, the Lambda Runtime API is a game changer. aws.amazon.com/about-aws/what…
Given the combination of the Lambda Runtime API and Lambda Layers I no longer believe adding support for containers would add any additional benefit to Lambda.
The Lambda Runtime API provides a major benefit over containers for Serverless workloads: a well defined and opinionated runtime API for getting work done.

I've been working through many of the concepts introduced in the Spanner paper and it's been nice getting my hands on the real thing to help reinforce some of the leanings. ai.google/research/pubs/…
The TrueTime API is an amazing piece of work, but what stands out to me is the practicality of it's implementation, and that even I can understand it.
Spanner started life as a distributed key/value store but made the pivot to become a relational database and continues to evolve in that direction as more traditional relational workloads migrate to it. Spanner has come a long way since 2012. cloud.google.com/spanner

The more time I spend writing Serverless functions the more I understand why the container image is overkill.
The only valid use for a Serverless container image is to workaround limited language support for a given platform.
I wanted a container image due to lack of transparency. This is something that FaaS providers can address by open sourcing their function wrappers and documenting their execution environments.

Some fun stats from product sidehustle land 👇

Since March 2015

2695 hours
1.8 hrs/day average

3-ish products
~2800 sales
$139,208 revenue post fees
$81,767 expenses

$21/hour 🤔

This must be why most people share only the revenue numbers #open
Now the obvious question: Why would anyone do this?

Well for starters it's still better than a coding job back home. My first job building websites was for $7/hour.

That was in high school.
I eventually got better jobs, yes. Mostly thanks to moving into freelancing, being picky about clients, and choosing to work for foreign clients (primarily US startup land) whenever possible.

That got me to about $70,000/year. It was great. Lived like a king.

Let's talk about #Kubernetes and how you probably don't really need it, and how you should be tackling some hard problems for your org and your customers, not the k8s problems.
1/x
Let's start with use case no. 1:
You're dev team (in a scrappy startup, or big boy enterprise) and you've got a few devs but need to host your code/service somewhere, and you want to use k8s (assuming GKE/EKS/AKS being used and not rolling your own)
2/x
Pros:
+ Step up from current/recent deployment methods out there in the industry
+ GKE/EKS/AKS aren't horrendous!
+ Cost reductions are possible compared to many previous solutions
3/x

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

(There's an alternate "diner" version I can't find anywhere online)

Ownership starts with taking control of your day the moment it starts.
Here’s how to invest a portion of your waking hours into your personal progress before starting your travel to work.

(Thread)
👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
Upon immediately waking up, get in the attitude of gratitude. The brain cannot project negativity/stress & gratitude simultaneously.
Stuck on what to be grateful for?
1.)The gift of life
2.)Eyesight
3.)Breathing w/out assistance
4.)An opportunity to do your best today
5.)Family
Wake up earlier. It’s honorable to be responsible & work & pay bills but your dreams, priorities, and goals should come first.
The earlier you rise, the more focused time you will have to devote towards your ideas.
Less distractions = progress
