Why Companies are Quitting Kubernetes
- Gitpod, a development platform, has decided to shift its focus to home-grown tools to quit Kubernetes. The standardised, and automated development environment solution plans to transition to a custom-built solution called Flex. Kubernetes often pushed the team to reverse-engineer solutions for unique challenges. Even managed services like GKE and EKS added restrictions that complicated operations. The Gitpod team noted that Kubernetes continues to be a “fine choice” as long as you are running application workloads. In contrast, Google Cloud Run provided a simpler and cost-effective alternative with features like rapid autoscaling, pay-per-use pricing, etc.
- The Kubernetes ecosystem is filled with unnecessary add-ons and tools often introduces more complexity than utility, creating a bloated and fragile infrastructure that is harder to maintain. These lead to vendor lock-in, reducing flexibility and driving up costs. Okteto uses customised BuildKit service with file synchronisation to streamline builds and deployments. They ensure development closely mirrors production without compromising feedback loops. Okteto also provides separate Kubernetes clusters for each company and supports multi-cluster setups to address scalability challenges.
- The promise of Kubernetes was never about building for developer environments, according to Pablo Chico de Guzman, CTO of Okteto. Similar to what Murli Thirumale from Pure Storage said, Okteto's custom Resource Manager predicts CPU and memory needs by analysing identical services across environments, optimising resource allocation to enhance cluster performance and developer experience. In a discussion on Hacker News, developers from different companies cited several reasons for Kubernetes being cumbersome. The main reasons remain the complex learning curve, maintenance inefficiency, vendor lock-in, overuse, and the mismatch between needs and scale.

R Shiny Deployment: 5 Options for Individuals and Enterprises
- Developing a Shiny app is relatively straightforward, but deploying it to a production environment is a whole another set of challenges.
- This articles explores the most common options for deploying a Shiny app and their pros and cons.
- The article compares 5 options through 5 comparison points: Authentication requirements, Security requirements, Scaling requirements, Operation management overhead tolerance, and Investment.
- Option #1 Vanilla Shiny: This option has no authentication out of the box and requires engaging people who understand the underlying infrastructure and maintenance.
- Option #2: Shinyapps.io is a cost-effective solution offered by Posit, but has a couple of security concerns, and limited scaling potential. It may not be the best choice if your app will be used heavily, will be critical to users and has high compliance requirements.
- Option #3: Shiny Server Open Source is a viable solution that mostly fits simple application scenarios. It fits best for non-complex applications, with non-intensive workloads, and fewer users, without having complicated authentication schemes.
- Option #4: Shiny Proxy is an open-source solution developed by OpenAnalytics. It allows for more complex setups, guarantees some level of scalability and supports one user per container.
- Option #5: Posit Connect is the new iteration of hosting solutions from Posit, following Shiny Server Pro. This is the most battle-tested and efficient solution in terms of resource usage. It is configurable and can scale for huge user bases.
- In conclusion, there are numerous ways to deploy an R Shiny application. For simple scenarios, vanilla Shiny and Shiny Server Open Source are recommended. For more complex scenarios, Shiny Proxy and Posit Connect would be more appropriate, being that Posit Connect is the most effective solution for every scenario, but with bigger upfront costs due to licensing.
- Containers are recommended everywhere it is possible, for almost all the scenarios, as it’s the most effective solution in the long run. The choice of the solution is dependent on the capabilities to maintain the solution long-term and the scaling requirements.

8 Common Mistakes in Data Engineering and ML Apps (and How to Avoid Them)
- There are common mistakes in data engineering and ML apps that should be avoided.
- One mistake is overestimating the size of data. With modern hardware, 100GB is not considered a massive amount of data.
- The 'Big Data' label is more applicable for petabytes of data or when data's velocity, variety, or veracity pose challenges.
- Simpler and faster approaches, like using Python pandas on a laptop, can outperform complex and time-consuming Spark clusters for smaller datasets.
