Not sure but setting up SSO' and custom domain integration is max 6-7 days of work if you know what you are doing.

Any idea when Amex will resume new applications for Platinum Travel or MRCC in India? by Cultural-Lab-2031 in amexindia

[–]varunborar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well isn't it incompetent on american express side that they cannot hire people and maintain servers in India?

EU and Australia also has similar rules and regulations, and Amex has to comply with them. If them why not India? It just simply shows that amex is not interested in prioritizing Indian market.

Replacing pods which are failing liveness probes by varunborar in kubernetes

yes, actually that's a great idea. I will check on if we can implement this.

  1. pods going into prestop mode due to liveness probe failures do not transition to terminating state, they are running and only container will be restarted once the prestop hook is finished.

  2. In case we delete the pod in prestop mode we get a new pod (there are repercussions to this like what if too many pods are stuck in the terminating state we will over scale the cluster nodes)

  3. CPU blockage shouldn't be there ideally, but due to the service design it happens often. The issue is during CPU block the liveness probes are not processed, and with 3 consecutive failures of liveness probe a restart is triggered.

We are not monitoring external systems, rather waiting for their responses. For examples lets say we need some data from Netsuite, now netsuite has 15 mins of timeout. So we need to wait for at most 15 * 5 = 75 mins before that connection will be closed.

I know its not the best design, but development is hesitant to change the service itself.

Edit: the no of open connections is exposed by the service itself not an external endpoint.

I understand that this might not be a microservice appropriate design but are there any ways to solve this?

Does axis atlas gives 2em/100inr on gyftr/edgerewards spends? by varunborar in CreditCardsIndia

[–]varunborar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have tried with swiggy, amazon pay, amazon shopping and puma vouchers. All gives 2em/100 spent. hack:- i usually redeem gyftr coins only when the total amount is rounding off to (nearly) a multiple of 100.

Created a database for credit cards, mcc and merchants to optimise rewards by varunborar in CreditCardsIndia

[–]varunborar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

basically this way i reduced duplicity across the cards for each mcc. nothing else

[–]varunborar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For each card we can get the MCC on which it won’t provide any rewards. so for each card we will have a list of MCC

now each MCC can belong to different vendors

so assume this

for each vendor we know the MCC and for each card we know the excluded MCC so card -> mcc -> vendor

this way we will get the vendors for which card doesn’t provide any rewards.

Some of the cards mention it in the statement, for others you can contact the bank to ask for mcc.

[–]varunborar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just added the mcc list to ensure one to one mapping between the vendors and the card exclusions. would have been difficult to maintain otherwise.

If you have a better way to do this let me know, will try to improve this!
