arg, one of the principles to handle higher than usual load is basically "the opposite of progressive enhancement"
of like "okay the backend microservice is overwhelmed, we're not doing fancy thing right now"
but I can't remember what the name of it is.
also related to AWS-ish talks about fallback vs failover (they talk about if your fallback is more reliable, why not use it as the default)
maybe it was a google paper?
gosh a lot of places just sell horizontal scaling as a panacea.

(it's related to circuit breakers, maybe)

okay, what are your thoughts about DoD's/Platform One's Big Bang #kubernetes setup?

Stellar posts. What are some of your favorite #SecurityDesign guides?

infrastructure mgmt methods compared as a thermostat:
- managed service: email butler to change thermostat
- SaaS product: the office thermostats are fake
- console/manual: you light the furnace yourself
- terraform/bash (the CSV/JSON of programming): ??? the robotic arm manipulator at a nuclear facility tries to set a thermostat, but it's clunky and brittle
- ansible/kubernetes: you order a medium rare thermostat. it tries to hit that temperature but might not be a good cook. you speak secret incantations.
- python/typescript/golang: you have much more precise chefs.
- literal service API thing reconciling state: you've written a thermostat (k8s lets you write your own drivers)
the terraform version of this is... one and done "infrastructure as code"
the literal reconciler thermostat thing... is that... "infrastructure as daemons"? "infrastructure as... APIs"? Infra as services?
I swear @krisnova@hachyderm.io (RIP <3) had a word for it.

are there other kinds of shakedown/burn-in tests for a cluster? (yeah I know burn-in is for hardware)
is it really just... health check integration tests?
there's got to be more words or kinds of those tests
what would be the word for checking if a backfill / migration is going okay and you can cutover traffic and start the contract phase of expand-backfill-migrate-contract?

there's gotta be more words/kinds of systems check.
