We're a digital marketing platform company running a fleet of PHP/Lumen microservices on GCP, and supporting/rebuilding a legacy monolith. Small team, no bureaucracy, real infrastructure problems — multi-cluster Kubernetes, async messaging, database replication, content delivery at scale.
You'll own day-to-day infrastructure operations: multi-cluster Kubernetes, Terraform-driven GCP resources, Jenkins CI/CD pipelines, and on-call. Hands-on role — you're the person keeping production reliable and making it better.
Stack: GCP (GKE, Cloud SQL, GCS, Secret Manager, Workload Identity), Kubernetes, Terraform + Atlantis, Jenkins, Helm 3, Docker, MySQL (primary + replicas), RabbitMQ, Redis/Dragonfly, Elasticsearch, Grafana/Prometheus, Scalyr, Flux, Ansible.
Looking for: 3-5 years with cloud infrastructure in production. Solid Kubernetes and Terraform experience. Comfortable operating MySQL with replication. On-call experience — you've been paged and written postmortems. Networking fundamentals (VPNs, private endpoints, DNS, TLS).
Nice to have: GCP-specific experience, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, GitOps tooling, multi-cloud or cross-cloud migration experience.
I have family in very rural east texas. They have 1Gps bidirectional at the hands of EasTex Co-Op spending federal dollars to actually lay fiber across their service area.
Lots of them took the money and ran, some jammed it into real infrastructure.
My kids love theirs, and we get tons of comments from other parents since they'll happily listen to stories on them instead of begging for a screen.
They swap cards with their friends, and so long as its on a wifi connection the first time the card is inserted, the local storage is plenty enough to keep the cache there for offline use.
I wish there was a way to underspin (RPM) some of these drives to lower noise for non-datacenter use - the quest for the Largest "Quiet" drive - is a hard one. It would be cool if these could downshift into <5000RPM mode and run much quieter.
I wonder if that's even technically possible these days. Given the fact that the heads have to float on the moving air (or helium) produced by the spinning platter, coupled with modern data densities probably making the float distance tolerance quite small, there might be a very narrow band of rotation speeds that the heads require to correctly operate.
Same issue. I've had university professors put my email address in their sylabus instead of ____.edu, and been carpet bombed by assignments, excuses, and pleading diatribes.
I'm listed as the email address for _many_ utility bills, doctors offices, and more political campaigns than I can count.
Comical how many people mess up their own email address.
I just don't get it. A legitimate typo I can see, sure, but so many of the things I get looks like someone said "email address? I guess I can just pick one!"
