    This is quite intriguing. But DHH has left so many details out (at least in that post) as pointed out by @breadsmasher@lemmy.world - it makes it difficult to relate to.

    On the other hand, like DHH said, one’s mileage may vary: it’s, in many ways, a case-by-case analysis that companies should do.

    I know many businesses shrink the OPs team and hire less experienced OPs people to save $$$. But just to forward those saved $$$ to cloud providers. I can only assume DDH’s team is comprised of a bunch of experienced well-payed OPs people who can pull such feats off.

    Nonetheless, looking forward to, hopefully, a follow up post that lays out some more details. Pray share if you come across it 🙏

      there are a number of blog posts that have different details about the how/why, etc. i just followed the links in the article to other parts of the series.

      I expect that the use case is more prevalent than you think, where you are spending a decent chunk on cloud infra. I have been convinced for some time now that the costs are high compared to our on-prem. I really like the idea of a the “deft” type hardware management service, so that look after the DCs, hardware and connectivity, and we look after the software.
