I tend to agree - this will work for a "standard" application web/app/db but as soon as you start doing anything remotely platform specific it won't work. E.g. k8s manages secrets and certs differently to compose etc.

Average of twice a night is freaking insane. I was burning out doing 1-week-in-3 with pages 3 nights out of 7. These were all actionable issues (DDoS, packet loss etc.) so I had to actually wake up and work.

If you could take 10-12 key words and build personalised channels based on those topic/keywords would be amazing.

But it's well understood that salaries aren't keeping pace with inflation / retail cost inflation. If salaries aren't then the ask starts to make sense.

I clicked on this really fast because this would be nice... but I really have to complain about the pricing model. $49 "once" is a scam when it only comes with 1 year of updates but an extra year of updates for $29 (60% more!!). Exactly how many features can one add to a Home-brew UI in the space of 2 years? There's no detail on what's in the roadmap to warrant such a price (on the website) nor is there the option of a trial. I shouldn't have to email for a refund (as advertised) if I feel like $50 was a rip-off. Honestly, if this was $10-20, I would already have paid.

Twilio?

ROADMs + dynamic reconfiguration using domain controllers is the way to go - Nokia has this sort of tech and it's well in-use by large T1 networks. Routers are often pre-patched into ROADM ports and wavelengths on longer spans are add/removed as capacity is needed.

So I have seen this before - a lot of ISPs now days are using "optimiser" boxes that are designed to throttle Elephant Flows (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_flow) to reduce overall consumption. Usually they add a little bit of buffering or the occasional TCP congestion notification to cause a client to back-off and (for example), reduce the streaming video bitrate. But I've also seen bad configuration that can cause this sort of issue - e.g. an mis-configuration that limits you to 2kbps vs 2mbps. The reason the Wireguard tunnel works fine is because it's UDP-based and you can't trigger the same congestion notification behaviour over UDP. These boxes are usually inline to your traffic and are often referred to as "middle-boxes" - more commonly they're used in mobile (4G/5G) RAN aggregation networks where bandwidth is more scarce but they're now being sold into fix-line network providers as a cost-cutting measure.

Netbox is becoming the Open Source standard for this. https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox

Yes... but the Government failed to ensure Telstra didn't becoming the monopoly on infrastructure.
