COVID-19 and SCALE 18x

UPDATE (March 4, 2020): We wanted to provide an update given there are now six known cases of Coronavirus in the Los Angeles area. While the LA County Board of Supervisors have declared a state of emergency, the goal of that move is to acquire additional funding for prevention and planning. The Mayor of Los Angeles’ office gave a statement this morning and said there is no proof of communal transmissions and importantly, that there are no plans to stop public gatherings. As always we are staying in touch with local officials and will keep on top of all developments and follow all authority guidelines to keep everyone safe. We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

Standard advice from virologists still applies: Wash your hands they way you’re supposed to and keep your hands away from your face and don’t stand next to someone who looks like they’re fighting the flu.

in case anyone is petrified... fatality rates are low and extremely low if you're young.

150 total cases in the US, so far 11 fatal

altho the below link is a lil slow compared to above, but gives good insight for real time updates

I'm mostly concerned about my kid that's just a couple of months old. I'm WFH for the most part due to the Flu going around

wait for it..

Like https://remove.bg but for video (same company)

dashing in golang

jajaja que bien!

datadog vs newrelic. your thoughs? I’m using newrelic now but datadog seems cheaper in my setup so I’m looking for additional pros and cons of the two?

How do y'all manage brew packages that you want everyone to have?

quick question: does archive.ubuntu.com work for anyone of you?

Anyone use https://github.com/pusher/oauth2_proxy? I've been using it successfully in k8s with nginx-ingress for several months, and after deploying changes to an app (without touching the oauth2_proxy or ingress settings) I'm getting wierd redirect behavior I can't figure out.

Your project has 30 repos. The origin of the initial commit for 20+ of them are from you....do you take pride or shame in that fact?

Definitely! Unless your job position title is: Director of Creating New Repositories 😃

More context needed. I worked at a company that had over 150 repos. Most of them Java with under 20 commits, the rest DB related. They could definitely be consolidated into ~30 Java repos with 10 being parent repos. I'd give you $100 to slap the person that created all of them, followed by a good public shaming.

I have 40+ repos, but I try to keep them all single purpose focused to avoid mono repo format, esp with terraform modules. I just recently created a terraform CICD plan that takes a yaml file and creates the repos, establishes branch policies, notifications, merge/squash/rebase options etc. I don't think count of repos should be too concerning if you have a way to manage them effectively.

@sheldonh what did you use to parse your yaml file for such a construct? Willing to share?

We are doing something similar with our pipeline. We have developed a pretty nice set of ansible modules for interacting with the github api, and are hoping to open source these. The yaml definitions also control deployment of artifactory permissions (and repositories, eventually), and credential injection into SSM for CI.

does someone here know a similar tool like jq for yaml?

There are a couple different tools called yq - I prefer this one: https://github.com/kislyuk/yq

It does require jq, as it's just a jq wrapper

I saw that one as well as oq which seems to have less features and is a rewrite.

Thanks !

I've also seen https://github.com/mikefarah/yq - might be worth a look as it has some sed-like commands that could be useful

thanks that seems even better for my use case

Yep, we use the one by mikefarah and distribute it here with our alpine packages https://github.com/cloudposse/packages/tree/master/vendor/yq

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) you’re using the slack-export-viewer for the archive.cloudposse.com no? I saw you had some issues with the original repo, I tried to use the cloudposse one but I keep having issues with the “TypeError: string indices must be integers” any hint?

This looks really interesting as a self hosted alternative to Zapier and similar https://www.furnace.io/

any suggestions I need to build a microservice infrastructure.
Need to have the following.

- Postgres Database
- Redis Database
- Web Application

Create a zero downtime auto deployment plan for the web application and
microservice

how 'zero downtime'? ^^
