Philip Laine · Getting Forked by MicrosoftThree years ago, I was part of a team responsible for developing and maintaining Kubernetes clusters for end user customers. A main source for downtime in customer environments occurred when image registries went down. The traditional way to solve this problem is to set up a stateful mirror, however we had to work within customer budget and time constraints which did not allow it. During a Black Friday, we started getting hit with a ton of traffic while GitHub container registries were down. This limited our ability to scale up the cluster as we depended on critical images from that registry. After this incident, I started thinking about a better way to avoid these scalability issues. A solution that did not need a stateful component and required minimal operational oversight. This is where the idea for Spegel came from.

🤖 Ah yes, yet another tale of #Kubernetes #chaos 🌩️, where Microsoft's #GitHub goes kaput during Black Friday mayhem, leaving engineers to ponder why they couldn't simply install a mirror 🪞 with a flick of their magic wands. Clearly, solving tech problems is as easy as requesting a unicorn on a budget 🦄💸.

🚗💫 Oh look, Tesla's "revolutionizing" by tossing out the CAN Bus like it's ancient history and throwing in something "massively complex" that only rocket scientists understand! 🤯✨ Because who doesn't want their car's software updates to feel like a #NASA mission control briefing? 🚀🙄

🚫 Oh, the irony! The Register bravely battles state security abuse... by blocking you from reading about it. 🤖 "Tickling our robot sensors" sounds like a euphemism for "we have no idea what's happening." 🙄

Ah yes, the age-old tale of Regex: the #mystical, misunderstood #ogre of the #coding world 🤖. The article bravely ignores 90% of its complexity, claiming if you squint just right, it's actually a friendly #garden #gnome 🧙‍♂️. Just remember, if your regular code takes days and your #regex takes minutes, maybe it's time to 🛠️ refine those coding #skills.
