Texas is just as hot out as I remember, but still was a great day on site in Austin. Heard a lot from a lot of new faces about the future… and looking forward to what’s ahead! Now on to San Antonio for day 2 with a new group of leaders.

Debated on if getting the hydraulic crimper was going to be worth it vs just buying premade wires… but being able to make my own as needed has made cable management in the golf cart so much better. This whole cavity was excess wire before the motor swap.

What's your preferred documentation when setting up a new system or platform? Written guides? Video walk throughs? Just give you an AI agent that can answer most things with at least 90% accuracy?

Hey @Zoom I've been having an account billing issue for over a year and your support and renewals team have been of absolutely no useful help and repeatedly have claimed to fix the issue - can I get someone who can actually help me to call me?

I've been building the product that's been in my head for ages - solving a problem that's plagued me forever. Building software across multiple stacks means either paying for a bunch of different hosts or spending way more time than I want managing infrastructure.

So I've been building @GantryDeploy. Infra and deploys for all my apps... client work, side projects, whatever. One platform to any cloud. Because there's always that client who requires that other cloud. Production-ready infrastructure, no terraform or devops or any of that.

It's early but it's working. Looking for a few people to try it out and tell me what they think. If this sounds interesting, let me know. I'll help you get set up. Sneak peek of the console ;)

Really interested in checking out @reviewbirdapp Hey @clifgriffin curious if you have a post anywhere breaking down what info is stored where and when? I dont see where its called out specifically as more of a saas but assuming it has a saas tie in because of the cool features?

Someone asked me to ELI5 containers in a Reddit comment. I realized the best explanation is pizza delivery. Most web infrastructure still works like a dump truck 🧵

That’s horizontal scaling. You don’t scale by making one thing bigger. You scale by having more things ready to work.

I wrote a longer breakdown using pizza delivery to explain how modern web infrastructure works, and why many teams move away from big servers: pmgarman.me/pizza-delivery-e…

Can’t wait for this to finally be GA :)
Tonnes of work has gone into this, and it's shaping up really nicely! Big thanks to Beka from @KestrelWP and Patrick from @mindsizeme for the initial consultations on scoping this out. Plus HUGE thanks to @tpaksu for all his engineering work on this 🙌🏻
