Well, I share the slideshow. Okay. I mentioned last episode, I have a slideshow with my talking points, couple of screenshots, things like that. This time I shared it ahead of time and I prepared ahead of time as well. But also I've been making small updates to the discussion, I think more regularly than I normally do. Discussion 520 on GitHub.

I mean, we always have one for every Kaizen, but this time I just, you know, went a little bit further with it. And I think it will work well. Let's see.

Hey, Adam. Everything's up. Whenever someone asks me that, everything's up. That's the SRE answer. Everything's up. Everything is up. Otherwise, I'm not here. If something's down, I'm not here.

Yep, so everything's up. I like that. Well, last Kaizen, we talked towards the end about the pipe dream. Oh, yeah. That was the grand finale. So maybe this time around, we start with that. We start with a pipe dream. We start with what is new. Start where we left off. Exactly. Love it. So we mentioned that, or at least you mentioned, Gerhard, that, was it Adam? Can't remember.

Anyways, we will clarify this after I mention what I have to say. Wouldn't it be nice if we had a repository for the pipe dream self-contained separate from the application? Whose idea was it?

That's right. So github.com forward slash the changelog forward slash pipe dream is a thing. It even has a first PR. that was adding dynamic backends. And we put it close to the origin, a couple of things so you can go and check it out, PR1. And what do you think about it? Is the repo what you thought it would be?

Well, I think the person whose idea it was should do that. However, I can start. So the idea of the pipe stream was to try and build our own CDN, how we would do it. Single purpose, single tenant, running on fly.io. It's running Varnish Cache, the open source variant. And we just needed like the simplest CDN that we needed. which is, I think, less than 10% of what our current CDN provides.

And the rest is just most of the time in the way. And it complicates things and it makes things a bit more difficult for the simple tasks. How the idea started, I would only quote you again, Jared. Would you like me to quote you again? That was Kaizen 15.

I like the idea of having this 20 line varnish config that we deploy around the world. And it's like, look at our CDN guys. It's so simple, and it can do exactly what we want it to do and nothing more. But understand that that's a pipe dream. That's where the name came from.

Because the varnish config will be slightly longer than 20 lines, and we'd run into all sorts of issues that we end up sinking all kinds of time into. Jared Santo, March 29th, 2024. Change it on with friends, episode 38.
