Huh, could be that the doc is outdated then. Thanks for the info, maybe I'll give it a try after all!

Interesting, from the doc[1]: "Because of various issues Invidious must be restarted often, at least once a day, ideally every hour."
[1] https://docs.invidious.io/installation/#post-install-configu...
I guess it's related to this issue, a memory leak (or probably multiple): https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/1438
Also interesting that the issue is almost 3 years old and mentions even older reports.

Big "one study says" energy in most of the points here. I also think it would be more honest to write the percentage of people who chose neither of the chocolates in the same size as the other numbers.

That sounds great in theory, but what happens if your dev/ops ratio is something like 15/1? How do you put an ops person in every team? I think it's the right answer but it seems impossible to put in practice.

We're starting to explore it in production and it's looking very promising. Much, much simpler (especially to integrate) than ELK.
