Ah my question was answered more or less. They're an edge case which makes sense: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35048318

Growing pains are never fun. It doesn't mention (at least that I read) if they're using HashiCorp Open Source or Enterprise. Open Source is great and I owe my career to it but they might be hitting the scale when the Enterprise features and support start to be worth the price.

I've only used Fly.io for a personal app but I think it's a great option so I hope they keep growing.

The configuration management tool mitamae is another mruby project: https://github.com/itamae-kitchen/mitamae

100% This series is so fun to read.

Yara is an awesome tool

Agreed, any application regardless of language or framework can age poorly. I've seen some pretty solid "long running" Rails applications that were just maintained well.

Not sure what microservice architecture has to do with it. You can have microservices that are Rails apps. :)

Their private encrypted git repos and file storage is pretty solid.

100%

Microsoft OneNote for some stuff.

Mostly Quiver (or Boostnote) with the files backed up to a remote git repo. Added benefit of being a format that is not locked in and can be parsed out later if required.

I’ve done the same thing! It’s awesome.

I have the same question but just to know what a "Blockchain Engineer" does.

I’ve been exploring keeping a logbook for awhile. Some apps I recommend: Quiver, Boostnote, and jrnl.sh

All of them have open data formats so you’re not locked in and can save everything in git which are requirements for me.

Yes! Jrnl is awesome and I've been using it for awhile now. Highly recommend it.

Are there any good options for cloud services outside of the US?

That's interesting. I've used both and would rather use JIRA over FogBugz any day.

Yeah thought of that. Made sure it was on the latest version and rebooted. Still didn't work.

No device management policy. :/

I found a weird issue on a friends phone when I suggested they download it for iOS. It says "This item is no longer available". They were able to download other apps from the store. When emailing Signal support they said nothing was wrong on their end.

Still havent figured out why my friend cant download Signal from Apple App Store.

This is sad to hear. It was a really cool product.

We've actually had good luck with AWS Support and have a dedicated representative that is always there to push urgent issues through support.

Ha, I wish I could up vote you twice.

I agree but I'm mildly surprised when an upgrading OSX or Linux instead of a fresh install always works fine.

Used Papertrail at a previous company and it was great.

Using Graylog at my current job and it's working well so far.

Yes!

TerraForm has been huge for us. Packer has been great. We plan on rolling out Vault fully and consul to our entire infrastructure.

The tools I listed above are essential along with Chef, ansible, and git are essential for our tools stack.

This is an awesome write up.

Agree with this.

If you have money and no time: DataDog

If you don't mind putting in a little time: Sensu

Sensu is straightforward to deploy if you use Chef/Ansible/Puppet. It also supports running Nagios plugins which is pretty useful.

And Jrnl which is one I use on a daily basis. http://jrnl.sh

There's also tmate which makes it easy to share a tmux session over ssh.

Not sure if there is something similar for screen.

I buy one of these for all my MacBooks: http://spishutter.com

Looks better than tape.
