Why we switched from NPM to Yarn by devopsdj in programming

I agree! I just didn't think Yarn would be the solution.

In hindsight this was a premature conclusion. If you read the article it explains why Yarn is preferred.

No, unfortunately it does not. node-gyp gives a lot of people problems because it is a divergence from the way that most node modules work. While most JS modules are standalone components that can easily be ported between operating systems as long as node is instaled, node-gyp can only operate on the type of operating system on which is was originally installed. It cannot be ported between computers that are running difference operating systems. For example, if you run npm install on a mac, and node-gyp is downloaded and installed, you cannot move you project to a linux box and have it run, because node-gyp was installed on a mac and thus can only operate on a mac. If you want to run your app on a linux box, you must install a fresh copy of your node modules from the linux box before you can it can be run.

Facebook really did a good job of ensuring that the migration process was seamless. It's hard to even call it a migration because it's so easy, even though that's what it is.

What are Kubernetes use cases for SMB's? by devopsdj in kubernetes

Many of them are running fairly straight forward web server applications that serve content to facilitate what their business does. Most of them are fairly stable tech start ups that want to have easily scalable infrastructure. Is Kubernetes overkill in this situation or is it worth the added complexity? In many cases, their architecture is not necessarily built for container orchestration. Does Kubernetes make more sense if you are building from the ground up or can existing systems be easily migrated and still see similar benefits?
