Reflecting on Netflix, the Tyson fight could also have been a test for when Beyonce breaks the internet on Christmas Day:

big announcements this week from AWS ( for me at least )
Has anyone else noticed a trend of minimizing infra? https://blog.stackademic.com/i-stopped-using-kubernetes-our-devops-team-is-happier-than-ever-a5519f916ec0
I’d understand consolidation of infra, just like any other part of the software dev cycle. Though, some specifics from the blog are… odd. Namely, 47 clusters is questionable to say the least.
the answer should be easy, for startups and SMB k8s is overkill, they can start and keep running on small footprint infra,
For companies with big teams, multiple apps, and technologies, then you gonna need full control over infra and use something like k8s, with less abstraction
keep in mind abstraction came with a big cost consideration, like Vercel vs cloudfront and s3

Question for Office hours: @Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse), a while ago, you asked a question about Monorepo releases, and I wonder if you found a solution for it? I remember it was in the context of the terraform-aws-components repo and how to create releases for components individually instead of having to release the whole mono repo. I might not be able to attend so I will watch the recording.
One solution we’ve found was Google’s release-please for this. You use it on a monorepo, but it’s a bit buried in the docs. We don’t have experience with it, but we were going to go with that for a client and then ended up hitting pause on that project for them.
We threw in the towel and moved all components to https://github.com/orgs/cloudposse-terraform-components/repositories
For private/closed sources, it’s manageable.
I watched the recording
where is the mention about Alex’s project?
At the end of that conversation we talked about it briefly. I know Erik brought it up on the screen share. I forget the exact name of the project though.
Awesome, thanks

I’ll throw this question into the hat for office-hours

I was listening to this podcast, to the one that was asking about the 502 error when using AWS application load balancer. I’ve encounter the same error message thrown by AWS load balancer.
We went thru the troubleshooting by AWS via this instructions to isolate whether it’s the load balancer throwing the 502s or the application itself https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/elb-alb-troubleshoot-502-errors
Which then lead us to this article https://www.tessian.com/blog/how-to-fix-http-502-errors/ which helps us resolve our 502 errors.
TLDR: Our application’s webserver have a KeepAlive setting that is shorter then AWS load balancer’s built-in timeout. After finetuning these helps resolve the 502 errors.
Hope this may help whoever that asked that question in this week’s officehours
