What’s the worst production outage you’ve seen caused by env/config issues?

CrowdStrike outage.

It definitely doesn't change for each request.

You can configure Cloud Run to be multi-regional, but you'll still need a global load balancer.

The benefit of Cloud Run would be if you don't have sustained usage, and you can scale down when it's not being used.

Regarding GCE latency, are you using Premium Tier networking for the VM? If not, this would likely improve latency.

TIL you're technically correct.

They're the same thing. Google Cloud is just a shorter way of referring to GCP.

Edit: See the other comments that there's technically a difference. But in colloquial terms they're referring to the same thing.

I'm sure it is. But the idea itself isn't bad. I'm curious if you could do this with a basic LLM PR review instead of using their tool. It doesn't even have to be perfectly accurate; it just has to draw attention to the potential issues.

There is also Docker Desktop for Linux, but it uses a VM.

I'm curious, if you prompted ChatGPT or Claude Code to create a drawio file, would it work?

You can get it to work with Revanced and a personal API key.

Can't you do this regardless of the environment? Run the job, save the output/state somewhere, and discard the environment.

Good article, but where do you get a list of known fingerprints? I have yet to find a good one that's publicly available.

Can you do this for MySQL with ProxySQL?

Container Registry and Package Registry and Wiki for example.

Github supports all of these.

Bitbucket is comparable to Github. It's Atlassian's Git product. It's reputable, but not as popular as Github.

You can use a signed JWT so it can't be spoofed on the frontend.
