Going through the strange experience of being torn between supporting #FLOSS and #openstandards on one side and having developers and requirements more and more pushing for #cloudnative on the other. Will be interesting to resolve. #work
@irl Yeah, I am looking at (and diving through) all these options, but the current "challenge" is an increasing desire not to do self-hosting of such infrastructure anymore at all...
@irl Yes, that's definitely a valid point and (these days) at least in my opinion way more important than software being "Open Source".
@irl That seems a good way of looking at things, especially as it puts self-hosting a bit in relation. I was thinking just all along the lines of non-open hardware as well...
Apache Beam will run on GCP but you can also run it on Apache Flink self-hosted. You don't need to compromise on open software to write cloud native. Really wish someone would get Python 3 going for Apache Beam though. There is Py 2 support but most work seems to have gone into Java.
