ads are targeted primarily at average people. no average person will ever host their own open model, and even third-party hosted open-models need to earn money eventually. Just going with the major player is what average people do
Unlikely a useful lesson here. If it would have been written as "political correct" version up to the point of not calling Jarred out at all would have missed the core message. The fact that it was written blunt is the reason it went viral.
doesn't this imply that they buy massive hardware and thus replace their hardware constantly? At what rate? It seems the rate is massive. I'd gladly use a 4year old server for the old price.
the reason mongo is a joy to use in scaled env is because no additional setup/software needed and all drivers natively support secondary/primary writes/reads and topological changes. so it's end to end, and adding is as a new proxy in frontend of postgres leads to all clients being incompatible or the code itself has no control anymore about when to use a secondary and what allowed stall is acceptable for a particular query. Any solutions to this by pgdog?
Honestly, Docker Swarm is so great. We use it with 6 very beefy machines (each 1tb memory/96cpu cores) for years already. It's so stable and well done, no restarts, crashes, or weird behaviors. We use it in a Hetzner VLAN and performance is excellent. We are very satistfied with it, and I would use it for even bigger scenarios. I even thought about building something like coolify/flightcontrol on top of it, so I can really easy have proper deployments of my stuff
Do I understand this right: if these 3 nodes shutdown for some reason, all data is lost and you have to actually restore from backup instead of just starting the machine again. And even if you have to restart one node (due to updates, or crashes) you also have to restore from backup?
If so, why not pick a hosting provider that doesn't wipe the disk when machine shuts down?
