Interesting take... Is it really practical? Until which size is it viable? What are we loosing by aggregating? Also makes me wonder about alert fatigue... It clearly raises extra questions.

Even the giants are slowly moving back from microservices. DHH has a very cruel way to point it out, still that's true. Let's hope people realize the mistake it was in term of complexity.

Very interesting to see that move to owned hardware... turns out that not only the invoice is smaller in their case but the performances are much better as well.

Nice overview of what it takes to increase your uptime. It can get expensive quickly. This is also a good reminder that it's not only about software, it's a lot about people and administrative constraints as well.

This is definitely a good musing on when not to go for "cloudy architectures". Most often people don't really need it, this needs to be properly thought out for each project. There are costs involved which you might not make sense to pay for in your context.

Looks like an interesting project for managing your own infrastructure, I should keep an eye on it.

Interesting ideas for hosting your own infrastructure. Some things I do similarly, others I do differently. Good food for thought.
