@GoTakeAKnapp ah, got it. We're still small enough that we don't need that kind of separation.
How are you managing the server clusters? I've been hesitant to put them in an ASG for fear that an instance refresh would go too quickly and cause us to lose consensus.

@GoTakeAKnapp We have multiple clusters. They're federated (we stood them up before peering functionality was added). How's the PoC going? I still haven't wrapped my head around when to peer and when to federate.

@GoTakeAKnapp Have you found yourself writing custom Concourse resources? We've made a handful but haven't come up with a good testing strategy, yet.

@GoTakeAKnapp Consul for service discovery only (for now). We're using Vault's internal storage.

@GoTakeAKnapp We're #HashiCorp (#Vault, #Consul, #Nomad) and #Concourse org here at Fauna. We're using #Pulumi instead of #Terraform, though.

@paul @aturls @davidjrusek I second Nomad. It's been straightforward (I might even say a joy) to operate and use.

"Mastodon sucks because any one of the 5000+ communities can set their own rules and might accidentally deprive people in that community of my witty hot takes for a reason I personally believe to be flippant" isn't the sick burn that the Twitter user with 50k followers thinks it is.

You find the switch to Mastodon quite hard / you don’t like the app / you find the app slow, counterintuitive, and unaesthetic?

LIFE CHANGER: You don’t have to use Mastodon on the Mastodon app! 🤯

I switched to Metatext (available for iPhone, not sure for Android) and this makes the whole experience *so* much more enjoyable 😍 It takes to 2 seconds to download and reconnect to your account via your instance/server!
