> I find it interesting that people seem to be trading short term gains with long term reliability and maintenance costs. This glut of 0-friction deploy services lull people into a nice false sense of security. I find it interesting as well. I agree that it's a false sense of security, and there is no real long-term gain from avoiding the one time paydown of deploying to a big 3 cloud services provider. Still, I think the impulse reflects something a very real pain, and something I find my team continuing to face as we try to manage a the operationally minimalistic stack we can get away with on AWS -- poor DX. It does still boggle my mind that AWS still doesn't have a Heroku-esque happy path DX that lets you get started easily and then add in complexity on an as needed basis rather than forcing it to get the most basic thing running. It seems like every minor customization requires in AWS parlance spinning up a Lambda to do something that should be a first class feature in the platform by default. Will I migrate off the platform? No. Would I use a simpler, opinionated interface that let me focus on my application and not arcanae, if AWS made it avaiable? Absolutely. |
