| Basically agree that simple things should be simple and complex things possible - and that’s from my experience not yet met with standard k8s. And having no „end users“ (app developers) on a conference about tools that should serve exactly these is an interesting observation to investigate further. Having to install one mire tool to get ready for production apps installed with helm in one command is not asked too much, though. Then, slighty unrelated, but it comes to my mind: i wonder if this happy path thing works with influx, where the author is working. Can i have a simple single command and install everything i need to look at logs from my app and db server, see most important performance stats and http/ip access logs, geaphical as well as with notifications if certain, easily to be entered ( and in case of cou, io, ram and diskspace reasonable defaults like 80% or so) thresholds are met? Can i do that with only the free open source tools as the author expects it from the k8s ecosystem?
Or do i get it when buying influx‘s professional service? So maybe it’s the job of, and an opportunity for, commercial companies to develop and sell such simplifying tools.
At some place, developers time to develop all these things must be paid for - if millions of developers just use the perfectly polished open source tools - and a high percentage doesn’t even help in development with big reports, not to think of patches, what are the developers going to live from while doing the polishing/ simplifying? |
