Topic: 621: Building the developer cloud


view this post on Zulip Logbot (Dec 12 2024 at 14:00):

Kurt Mackey is back for a deep dive into what it takes to build the developer cloud. Kurt joins Adam to discuss the alliance between companies and cloud, something Kurt refers to as the "Rebel Alliance," cloud complexity vs usability, Fly's future with Postgres and why they've waited, thoughts on Neon and Supabase (Kurt shares a hot take), and our CDN saga and plan to build a simple CDN on Fly called Pipely (still a Pipedream). :link: https://changelog.fm/621

The rebel alliance topic was interesting, sounds like the tech startup version of an indie record label :grinning:

@Matt Johnson the Pipedream is gets too REAL on Friday :stuck_out_tongue_wink:

Oh that idea of having people from different companies on to compare and contrast is great. It would be really interesting to see if different vendors with different approaches could come to agreement e.g. around different user needs, different customer profiles who may want to use them versus someone else. Or just get different takes on issues etc. I wonder if it would just be way too difficult to manage though :sweat_smile:

Since you were trading Bobiverse and Children of Time recs, have you guys read The Forever War? Plays with some similar concepts.

I'd recommend reading as a double feature with Starship Troopers, which was a big influence on the sci fi genre. Haldeman has said it's not a reaction to Starship Troopers, but was influenced by it and is quite a counterpoint.

The Rebel Alliance sounds cool to me, but I really appreciate that Kurt brought up HIPAA and BAAs. As someone working in health tech this is very true, and makes it way easier to just use the cloud you're already in vs looking for alternatives.
