Ask HN: What should we consider when moving to a service mesh architecture?
5 by ciguy | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I work for a company that's been looking at moving to a service mesh style architecture. They run a few dozen micro-services which are currently Dockerized and deployed on an ECS cluster. We are considering moving to Kubernetes, as ECS has a lot of limitations in the deployment/resiliency area that come more or less standard with Kube. As part of this move we are looking at using a service mesh to enable easier cross region routing on AWS and more dynamic load on various clusters. We were looking into Linkerd as a possible solution, but just noticed that Consul latest release has a service mesh feature now. So for those who've run a service mesh before, what sort of things should I be considering as we evaluate our options? Pros/Cons of specific tools, or service mesh in general are welcome.

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Looking for a simple solution for building an online course

Ask HN: Looking for a simple solution for building an online course 11 by r4victor | 2 comments on Hacker News. I want to build an online course on graph algorithms for my university. I've tried to find a solution which would let submit, execute and test student's code (implement an online judge), but have had no success. There are a lot of complex LMS and none of them seem to have this feature as a basic functionality. Are there any good out-of-box solutions? I'm sure I can build a course using Moodle or another popular LMS with some plugin, but I don't want to spend my time customizing things. I'm interested both in platforms and self-hosted solutions. Thanks!
