At some point off time, if you use it for something, would love to know how you used it.


Yes..


We at cashflowy.io has been using argonaut for a while now. As a single person dev team, I did not have the time luxury to deal with kubernetees and also handle customer support/business development etc. Wanted the flexibility of kubernetees but did not want the full kubernetees overhead being a small startup. Argonaut has worked out really well for us.


If you need containers on demand, why not just use a simpler service like ECS? There’s a reason k8s is a meme for wasted engineering resources.


Responding on behalf of alex at cashflowy since I have some context. The team was originally on Elastic Beanstalk but chose to move to using kubernetes to leverage the rich ecosystem of helm charts. That enabled setup of tools like metabsse etc. very easily. Overall, it was lesser hassle for more functionality since CI/CD was also out of the box, and self-hosting these tools was a breeze with helm charts.


Same question here - what about something like AppEngine (or Elastic Beanstalk)?


We were on beanstalk before.


k8s is a meme for wasted engineering resource - yup agree.. not so much with argonaut. Was on EBS for the longest period of time.


"Cities and Ambition" is not mentioned as much as the other ones(about ~1000 times). It does have an MTS score of 9.9 though.


haha, thanks :)


Yeah, within startup realm, his insights are killer. Outside not so much.


We use semantic-ui at Highlyreco (https://www.highlyreco.com). Semantic is a CSS framework that we absolutely love. Cant recommend it enough. Semantic made it possible for 2 developers(non of us are front end focus engineers) to build out a fairly complex ui at Highlyreco. Semantic gives us the ability to iterate really fast on UI.

We probably would not exist without semantic. For earlier projects I used to use bootstrap. My opinion is that Bootstrap is good for designing landing pages and semantic is good for building user interface pages.


I dont agree with this. Just because semantic(or any other tool) does not work for you does not mean it should not exists. Semantic is a massive time saver as a small team trying to build a functional product, where the team cant afford to have a pure front end focused developer. As a 2 person team, I can get a lot of functional product out with Semantic. I would recommend semantic any day.

It might not work for you, but like I said, it does not mean it should not exist. Thats me trying to defend a framework that I absolutely worship.


thanks.. this is useful.. tried it out and perfectly matches my needs.
