Is AWS doing a good job? Should people outside of the AWS ecosystem be using OpenSearch? Has Elasticsearch become more proprietary as a result of their license change?
Also curious if people are happy moving to completely alternative open source search engine solutions.
I see tons of fly-by-night IoT SIM card sellers but it's very hard to determine which ones are trustworthy, and most of them seem targeted at very low levels of data usage. Many of them charge for usage, which could easily end up costing thousands per month unexpectedly.
I really just want something similar to what is easy to purchase for consumers: unlimited LTE service up to some reasonable amount (30-50-100 GB/mo) which is then throttled to 2G speeds after exceeding that amount.
But I want to purchase it on behalf of a company and not worry about issues related to using it in an always-on capacity.
Is the solution just to sign up for Google Fi or similar with a company account? Or is there a service that offers similar service that I can sign up for?
And then there are most companies, where the distributed systems are the equivalent of sprawling spaghetti code. Bloated, slow, brittle, expensive, and always in need of excessive babysitting.
I've read lots of great blog posts from the former companies over the years, but I'd like to do a deep dive right now and read any that I've missed.
I figured it might help if I found an example of what I consider a good engineering blog is, and Discord came to mind: https://discord.com/blog/how-discord-stores-billions-of-messages
