Jamie from DigitalOcean here. Kubernetes on DigitalOcean is the first step for us to enable more managed services like Lambda. You will be able to deploy projects like OpenFaaS or Fn very simply, but currently you would still need to determine your node pool for capacity.
Jamie from DigitalOcean here. Currently we'll deploy our DigitalOcean Load Balancer on your behalf, which is $20 a month, but we are also investigating other options. If you have any thoughts on how this should work, or what specifically you'd be looking for, I'd love to hear them.
Jamie from DigitalOcean here. A database as a service offering is on our roadmap and in discovery, and we hope to have more information about this in the near future.
Jamie from DigitalOcean here. VPC is coming to DigitalOcean and the cluster will live within a VPC. Past that there are a lot of details! Is there something specific you're interested in?
Hey Eric, load balancers are getting an upgrade in the near future. Keep your eyes peeled this week!
Jamie from DigitalOcean here. Yes, definitely! Most of this team is remote but myself and a couple of others are NYC based. My email is jwilson@digitalocean.com if you'd like to get in touch.
Hi, Jamie from DigitalOcean here. We will have VPC support on DigitalOcean by the time we go live. But if you want to talk in more detail, my email is jwilson@digitalocean.com
Jamie from DigitalOcean here. Yes users won’t pay for their workers, Block volumes or Load Balancers in early access until the end of September 2018.
Jamie from DigitalOcean here. It will be an option as to whether you want automatic upgrades (including what times of day you’d like us to do upgrades), and we’ll go through our own internal process and testing to minimize any backwards compatibility issues.
Yes, you’ll be able to spin up a single node cluster.
Currently it’s our $5 droplet (1GB RAM, 1 vCPU), but if you have a use case for smaller nodes I’d love to hear about it!
Hey KenCochrane, I’m the Product Manager on this product at DigitalOcean. VonGuard is right, you only pay for the worker nodes (based on our Droplet pricing, there’s no premium) and we take care of the master. Our standard pricing lives here: https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing
Sourcegraph Director of Product here: We're interested in extensions as a way for our users to extend our platform, you never know how creative developers are until they can hack your product! Do you have ideas in mind for extensions you'd like to build/use?
In relation to the terminal, do you have anything in mind you'd like to use it for?
Sourcegraph Director of Product here: We currently don't support installing extensions in our UI, but it's something we're definitely interested in. I'd love to hear more about other use cases you know you'd personally like to use?
You can however set up your own keybindings by editing the keyboard shortcut settings. Open the Quick Open (on a Mac, Command+Shift+P or F1 on a PC), and type "Open Keyboard Shortcuts". From here you can configure any mappings you'd like.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll check it out now.
We've been using this tool for a while in beta and the biggest win I can say is having an online tool that works. So many of the other tools out there have issues when you drag and drop too fast, move your cursor over the wrong part of the interface, copy and paste too quickly - but the guys at Atomic have spent a heap of time making this feel like an installed app.
Other features aside, this is the winner for me.
Thanks for your reply.
You're 100% right and we're pretty aware of the lack of content out there right now, ie the lack of documentation (job listing plug!) but we're also interested in first impressions.
I guess I'm getting back to work to give you something to see!
