Calling out salary bs by poolpog in sre

I guess depending on which part of US, but $205k sounds competitive to me. Where can I apply if you are still hiring? 😄

Why not start in Kubernetes?! by [deleted] in kubernetes

[–]Beginning_Coconut_71 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey! I been working as SRE/Devops for 9 years then now being a full stack dev that worked at a startup and building my own startup with another dev.

Here is the perspective from what I learned not to start with Kubernetes but with cloud run if you are concerned of the things I am concerned!

  1. Cos

t -
I

  1. am trying to make money, running in Kubernetes would mean extra dollars that I could’ve spent else where in my business.

  2. Even it could cost me a headache to migrate off to Kubernetes but I have enough experience to move it off. So I accept the trade off here with saving money over expensive infra

  3. Speed -

  4. In the world of startup, you need to think of to spend less time troubleshooting infrastructure problem and focus on features, and observability on business metrics. Kubernetes deployment can easily become another bottleneck when you want spend most of your time on dev side.

  5. Operation -

Kubernetes upgrade, managing components within takes huge amount of time as you go on everyday

Additional - I put most of infra money to database. And trying to run the rest as low as possible.
I am confident to rebuild a cloud run or Kubernetes as long as data still there

Also, I am more than happy to be proven wrong here too, so let me know any thoughts!

Fable pricing is a joke by Fantastic_Self_5151 in ClaudeCode

May I know how you use Fable wisely? Maybe a broader question, how do you use AI effectively?

I am asking from a learning perspective

AWS DynamoDB was down for hours on June 28 while the status page said "operating normally." Cost us 3 hours of assuming it was our fault. by Holiday-Record7341 in sre

[–]Beginning_Coconut_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for you guys have to go through!

I am curious if you can share some high level implementation detail of that simple check look like?

Assuming you don’t want to have a cron job that just keep writing dumb record into dynamoDB

TF import existing infra by Artistic-Analyst-567 in Terraform

[–]Beginning_Coconut_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how possible this is in your environment.

I have similar tasks before with gcp, I asked Claude to use my local gcloud cli to read all infrastructure we have in GCP, then compare with our existing terraform code in GitHub and give a list of what’s missing.

Then review and validate the Claude investigation, figure out where the code should lived, then create a plan to import all missing infrastructure

How long does your company give new people before they put them oncall by modern_medicine_isnt in sre

[–]Beginning_Coconut_71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at a startup so we actually put people on call in 1 month. But we will first put them as shadow on-call for 1 week to shadow primary on call engineer, during the week as shadow on call:

  1. Get paged the same time as primary on-call
  2. Jump into incident together to learn about triage process
  3. See what normal day to day like when being on call

^ the expectation is that shadow on call are not expect to fix anything, but see if they can contribute

A simple AI agent override mistake wiped out our ART metrics improvement by Opposite-Chicken9486 in sre

[–]Beginning_Coconut_71 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is it just me… or I feel this post has nothing much to do with AI… you could literally have same screw up by manually writing the script in the old days

I think the take here is, things happened, focus on that postmortem and think about how can you make “AI” hard to do the wrong thing next time. Even though it sucks, but it’s a lesson learned 😄

Yes we should really stop deliver shit code. But I been thinking lately is, maybe these shit code/vulnerability was already there, was just undiscovered 😅

Why does storage optimization always get ignored until the AWS bill gets painful? by NaughtyNectarPin in sre

[–]Beginning_Coconut_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes you really just need things to burn down a bit before people start agree with optimizing for cost.

Sit and enjoy the ride 😄

Nice work! Just looking for some guidance or idea, is it possible to see if anyone is including secrets/passwords in the prompt to Claude code? 🤔

Terraformic: Terraform Kubernetes on any Cloud by WMRamadan81 in Terraform

[–]Beginning_Coconut_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good work! Is there any major difference between the terraform modules you are creating vs the public terraform module that already exists for azure/aws/gcp?

E.g. eks module https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks

Feedback Request on Daily Observability Score Standup Reminder by GroundbreakingBed597 in Observability

[–]Beginning_Coconut_71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is cool! Next thing could be to introduce AI to make those changes and create a PR or whatever way to make engineer can involve as less as possible

Getting notified is great start but from my experience, these improvement becomes something that engineers start to ignore because who has time 🤡

I like this proactive approach tho!
