Author here. Comments like this make my day, so thank you!

I’m trying to find old software engineering gems and explain them as simply as possible, so I’m glad you found it simple to understand.

Also, it’s definitely possible to make a clone, but the hard part is getting the users :)

Of course, I do not envision getting users. Only for fun and training - I think having examples of simple solutions to seemingly hard problems in mind makes it easier to come up with one in the future.

Do you have a link to Fabric? My Google Fu is failing me, looks like it might be dead?

Fabric is still an option but nowadays Ansible is probably the closest popular choice for things like that.

I was wrong thruflo pasted the correct link

You are probably right. The Instagram Engineering blog [0] points to the Fabric documentation on Read the Docs [1] which is empty.

"Read the docs" links to the GitHub repo [2] but it's 404 and even the GitHub organization zwsyff888 is gone.
