Cloud 66

From "Hello World" to KeepAlive with Cloud 66. cloud66.com

AI's real gift to small dev teams isn't speed. It's thoroughness. It's finally writing those tedious edge-case tests, doing rigorous code reviews, and handling painful migrations that used to get deferred. The floor of what a tiny team can ship just went way up. The smaller you are, the bigger the leverage. A solo founder can now run a full, enterprise-grade development lifecycle because the cost of doing things right just plummeted.

AI means anyone can build software now. Great for velocity, terrifying for security. Since DevOps headcount isn't scaling to match, you can't police the code. But you can govern the deployment. Good governance isn't bureaucracy; it's making the safe path the easiest. 3 questions: 1. Can anyone bypass CI/CD? 2. Are production change trails automated? 3. Is the secure path the fastest? If not, you have a governance gap. Read more: blog.cloud66.com/when-anyone-ca…

Everyone's talking about AI making developers faster. The bigger shift? AI is creating millions of new software creators. The bottleneck isn't writing code anymore. It's deploying it safely. Governance just became a lot more important. blog.cloud66.com/the-new-softwa… #AI #DevOps #PlatformEngineering

High bounce rates and elevated complain rates can result in banning your AWS SES account immediately. This can really hurt your operations. Here is a detailed guide on preventing those and what to do in case the block happnes:

@levelsio @Cloudflare SES is the best price and arguably best deliverability. But they are super hard on reputation management (which is fare). We use sendops.dev with SES which gives us all the nice metrics + reputation monitors + templating (which we sometimes need) via git

✉️ Trying @Cloudflare's new Email Sending feature today If you send 1,000,000 emails per month: - Postmark: $1,206/mo - Resend: $650/mo - SendGrid: $600/mo - Cloudflare: $354/mo - Amazon SES: $100/mo So Postmark is now by far the most expensive email provider And SES and Cloudflare are now the cheapest email providers I know my friend @marckohlbrugge is trying out SES now so I'll try Cloudflare and see how it is, SES is cheaper but Marc said it takes a bit more managing, and since I already use so much Cloudflare stuff it's nice to use them for email too With AI especially all of these are just as easy to use and setup in your app/site so economically it makes sense to go for the cheapest, because email is just email, it's all the same and deliverability is good with all of these I think TL;DR email sending has become a commodity!

we almost made auto-scaling a premium feature. the thinking was: small teams don't need it. they can just resize manually when traffic spikes. that was wrong. small teams are exactly the ones who can't afford to be paged at 2am because a campaign went live and their app fell over. they don't have an on-call rotation. they don't have someone watching dashboards. they just have engineers who need to sleep. so we shipped auto-scaling for everyone. based on real signals; CPU, memory, queue backlog, Nginx response time. not a fixed schedule. not a guess. actual behavior from your app. the teams who use it most aren't the big ones. they're the 4-person teams who got burned once and never want to think about it again.

If you use SES to send emails then you should seriously combine it with SendOps and get superpowers. If you don't use SES, then you're spending WAY too much money on email! Use it! #email #aws #ses

As Salesforce is pulling the plug on Heroku, if you’re looking for a way to deploy your apps (rails, go, node, python or any other framework) on any cloud and save a lot of money along the way by using @cloud66, let me know. #rails #heroku #paas

@lylo @stevewillbe @aschmelyun @hatchboxio @UbicloudHQ Got it! We'll get back to you. Thank you for considering us.

PaaS has made it seem like you need infinite scale available 24/7 to every app you put online. I have 5 Laravel apps running on a single $4 VPS, containerized using Docker. Despite spikes of several thousand requests, resource usage is <30%.

There is one more - @cloud66. I have been using them for few years and and feel like one of the under-hyped service. Just to be clear, this is a devops tool where we use DO, AWS, or any cloud. Ease of deployment, scaling, migration b/w cloud is what I love.

“Just deploy it”...famous last words before discovering you don’t have a deployment pipeline. Here’s how pipelines make continuous deployment boring (in a good way): blog.cloud66.com/how-deployment… #DevLife #CICD

There is a lot that goes into managing a Kubernetes cluster (we know!) so we think using Cloud 66 is the best option. However, if you want to take on managing a "managed" Kubernetes cluster yourself, this might help! tensorfuse.io/docs/blogs/han… #kubernetes #ops
