Scalable, Shard-able, Containerized & Distributed Computing

It all started with a silicon chip and an O’Reilly book and then it became a dream that was a reality. One of those was free the other, well that came at market price, both certainly worth the exercise — given over the last year as I’ve poured over notes, Docker builds, and CLI commands.

Evolving as a programmer means diving deeper into known technologies to meet modern technologies and circling back around consistently to develop a pattern of repetition to turn documentation into knowledge.

The core factors of success I have learned in life, are adventuring within constraints to explore the narrow and reach back to the macro and encompass the understanding by turning them towards each other adversarially.

Silicon Chips As A Development Standard

You often hear the mantra “if you build it, they will come” and amongst programmers, frequently “if you buy it, you will code”. This is the logic behind investing in compute capacity whether on your desk or in the cloud.

When the Apple Mac mini M1 became the talk of the crowd, I explored the idea that maybe a…
