Thanks for the feedback. There's certainly room for improvement on my site.

> What good is any of this other than driving clicks for your benefit? If I'm going to get any traffic from your site, it is all going to be driven by people just searching or quoting comparisons, not actual sales.

From my conversations with several providers, they're pretty happy with the traffic and customers that found them through the site.

> For example, right now, you list another MI300x provider. Right at the top of the page you parrot their bogus claims about 20k GPUs by 2024. They don't have pricing, it is just "contact us". "Based on our records, XXX has at least 2 data center locations around the world"... yet it lists both of them in the US, not "around the world". I could go on and on, but what I know is that I don't want to be associated with something like this.

I see your point. However, I do include the source where they claim that, so visitors can review it themselves. If you believe this is unfounded or misleading, I'm open to removing it.

And thanks for bringing my attention to the "around the world" mismatch. Will fix it.

> Sorry for the truth bomb, but if it is taking too much time for you to maintain, you should shut it down or find someone else willing to maintain it properly. Having incomplete and bogus data isn't helpful for anyone.

Or perhaps charging for my time? That way, I could allocate more resources and continue to improve the site.

I appreciate the honesty, even if you rejected my offer.

Hey, I'm the guy behind GetDeploying. To be clear:

This is a side project and the vast majority of companies were added by me without being paid for it. I now charge to get listed or add a banner because the site takes too much time for me to maintain.

And totally agree, AMD GPUs are not covered enough. Happy to list your company at no cost to help me fix that. Feel free to email me if interested.

Hey I'm the author of the post.

We ran Panelbear for about a year before merging it into Cronitor's codebase.

Cronitor is also a Django monolith but on EC2 and was already humming along nicely for several years through frequent traffic spikes.

We had no reliability issues with K8s, but came down to: as a small team we decided to have less moving parts.

The new setup is not too different from what I describe here: https://anthonynsimon.com/blog/kamal-deploy/

Thanks, that makes sense. I'll update this so it's clearer.

Just a few days ago I learned that iPhones come with a built-in image scanner in the notes app.

Interestingly: It was a senior citizen in a local shop who pointed that to me when I needed to scan some documents for him.

Definitely agree.

I think the problem is that it’s usually easier to arrive at complex solution than a simple one.

Healthchecks is a great service!

Not sure if you tried it too but https://cronitor.io/ supports more complex alerting rules like the one you describe.

As a bonus, you can also create uptime checks and status pages under the same roof.

Full-disclosure: I work at Cronitor, happy to help if you have any questions :)

Hey! I'm the author of the post, glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, you would just attach it to the network switch and have it join the cluster.

The control plane will "discover" the additional capacity and redistribute workloads if necessary.

With k3s, a new node can join the cluster with a single command (assuming you have the API token).

Something like:

  $ curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | K3S_URL=https://$YOUR_SERVER_NODE_IP:6443 K3S_TOKEN=$YOUR_CLUSTER_TOKEN sh -

Denis, first of all: really cool product!

It’s also fair to ask for registration in order to prevent abuse / record consent for terms and privacy.

However, it would be best if you asked that before uploading the photo. Many people seem frustrated that their data was processed and now they must create an account to see the result/delete the data.

Once again, it looks great, it’s just an expectation/transparency issue :)

Edit: If it’s ok for you to disclose this, what kind of infra are you running on? Just curious.

I'm also interested in this, and someone recently shared this with me: https://stripe.com/newsroom/news/taxjar

Apparently Stripe's acquisition of TaxJar is meant to expand their offerings in sales tax compliance.

From the article:

As the latest addition to Stripe’s revenue platform, TaxJar will help businesses automate tasks such as:

- Providing accurate sales tax rates at checkout, tied to the exact street address of the customer.

- Automatically submitting tax returns to local jurisdictions and remitting the sales tax collected.

- Producing local jurisdiction reports to show sales and sales tax collected—not only for each state, but for relevant counties, cities, and other special jurisdictions.

- Evaluating a company’s products and intelligently suggesting the right product tax code.

Thanks for the transparency, it’s cool to see other bootstrapped founders running Kubernetes :) And congrats on the launch!

Just wanted to say thank you for writing this Michael. You've been putting lots of great content on your blog! Really enjoying the real world examples you include.
