In the decades that open-source projects have existed on GitHub—even those backed by the Chinese government—there has never been an instance of them containing spyware; conversely, we frequently see NSA hacking tools exploiting open-source projects to launch massive cyberattacks and cause data breaches. Reality isn't like American movies where Americans are always the heroes; in fact, those GIs are usually the ones doing the invading. To me, your statement sounds like a resident living under Nazi rule telling everyone, "There's actually a pretty good project over on the Allied side—if you choose to believe it."
Since the project is not a c++ technology stack, I spent 1,200 dollars to use vibe coding and pure golang to make a pdf renderer, which realized the work of cairo+poppler.
Not to say it is the quip but I have had buggy builds with bun that requires sticking to esbuild, I think it was bundling prettier with many plugins into a single JS file.
I always do that sort of thing in Docker so never considered it could be a Linux-specific thing, maybe so.
Both FluxCD and ArgoCD, which use CRDs in Gitops, have a serious flaw: will these tools fail when your Kubernetes needs an update? I've encountered incompatibility issues even with simple Helm (which failed due to changes in the HPA API), let alone OPSs that forcibly depend on CRDs. GitLab CI + Pulumi/Kusion is the most stable solution.
Ultimately probably not, under the hood all Argo is doing in its vanilla configuration is pulling stuff from a git repo, calculating a diff, performing some templating to spit out the manifest (helm or kustomize) and then kubectl apply the manifest (or the api equivalent of that).
So unless the API’s it uses to calculate deltas or apply manifests change it’s going to be mostly resilient. The underlying things it might apply though, are often much more sensitive to that kind of api version diff
Interesting. I've used Pulumi but this is the first I've heard of Kusion.
From a quick look, it still requires all of the resource specification to be present in the AppConfiguration, and it's written in their own DSL called KCL. Is there more to the use case that I'm missing?
It seems like if I'm already specifying the details of the entire workload, I'd either use Terraform, where I probably already know the DSL, or Pulumi, where I could skip the DSLs entirely.
