(Reasonably) secure Azure Pipelines on-prem deployments (bearblog.dev)

Deno shows us there's a better way (macchaffee.com)
Recently, I completed a full rewrite of my first personal project, which was a Django project running on Heroku. Now it's a Deno project running on Deno Deploy. The experience has really gotten me thinking about the amount of pain we put up with to deploy simple stuff these days, especially with containers. Deno shows us that it doesn't have to be that way.

Slow deployment causes meetings (2015) (tidyfirst.substack.com)
“I can’t get any code out with all these meetings.” What if this perennial engineer complaint has causation backwards? Adding and removing organizational overhead is relatively easy compared to increasing an organization’s capacity to deploy code. What if meetings and reviews are an organization’s adaptive response to avoid overloading deployment?

Rails 8.0 Released (rubyonrails.org)
Deploying modern web apps – with all the provisions needed to be fast and secure while easily updateable – has become so hard that many developers don’t dare do it without a PaaS (platform-as-a-service). But that’s ridiculous. Nobody should have to pay orders of magnitude more for basic computing just to make deployment friendly and usable. That’s a job for open source, and Rails 8 is ready to solve it.
Ask HN: Hosting on Digital Ocean, any advice for monitoring and deployments? (ycombinator.com)
I'm moving over from Lambda to Digital Ocean since I found it much easier to test locally and iterate.

A Checklist of Issues for Progressive Web Apps and How to Fix Them (heltweg.org)
This post is a collection of pitfalls I ran into developing progressive web apps or PWAs (such as WeightBook) without testing on actual devices, especially iPhones. Looking at your app in the browser dev tools or an Android test device can only take you so far. If you are interested in hosting your PWA using nginx and kubernetes / docker, also have a look at Build a progressive web app in docker with nginx to deploy to kubernetes or docker swarm.

Kamal 2 is a huge leap forward for that tool, and it has just shipped. Now you can deploy multiple applications to the same server, and you can have SSL certificates automatically provisioned via Let's Encrypt. A big compression in complexity, especially when just getting started.
Against the 'QA‐Free' Philosophy (github.com/getlago)
I recently watched Pieter Levels' interview with Lex Friedman and dove through the comments. Most discussed one hallmark topic: Pieter’s 1-click deployment system that only leverages local tests for testing. In Pieter’s own words, he’s notorious for not setting up staging servers. He prefers a stripped-down pipeline, something that enables him to ship fast.
