@Yano_of_Queenscastle It's quite a different critter.

Looks like the Eclipse folks are still maintaining BIRT

Looks like Jasper still exists
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells

No idea if either are still supported or not,
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells

BIRT was done by the Eclipse people. I think Jasper comes in free and paid-for variants.
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Jun 27 15:10
Have any of you lot tried one of the open-source ones like BIRT or Jasper?

So I was today years old when my CI build failed because a major corporation forgot to pay their cloud bill.

I might have typed 'Shake it Annette' into a chat visible to several members of senior management.

That's data mesh in a nutshell.

Hands up everyone who thinks letting app development teams design and manage your data estate is a good idea?
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Jan 16 13:38
Sounds like something data science folks might think of. We'll just go out and build a bunch of ETL for every analytic app we want to do.
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Jan 16 13:38
A data mesh is just data marts hanging off all your applications. Apparently the apps teams are supposed to set them up and maintain them.
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Jan 16 13:37
Well maybe they can think outside the box and leverage their synergies.
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Jan 16 13:36
Maybe I should start pimping myself out as a chief data officer. It doesn't look all that hard.
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Jan 16 13:36
Currently their data platform strategy is to make data mesh layers for everything and move it all to the cloud.

Even when you point out that DBMS software had high availability features long before networked storage became popular.

How much do you think 25TB of SAN storage costs?
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Jan 16 13:31
Policy my arse.

Even with data points (3.5x speedup) it's like talking to a brick wall.
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Jan 16 13:30
But muh cloud.
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Jan 16 13:29
8k IOPS vs. 3.5 million IOPS.
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Jan 16 13:28
And I've never seen an Azure shop that was paying less than that per month for their cloud services.
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Jan 16 13:28
Ebay is my preferred supplier.
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Jan 16 13:28
But I suspect those prices are fairly representative of what an enterprise customer would pay for the machine. Also, the SQL Server licencing would at least as dear.
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Jan 16 13:27
You could probably do it quite a lot cheaper off Ebay.
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Jan 16 13:26
It is HP prices for the kit.
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Jan 16 13:26
You wouldn't get 4m IOPS out of any cloud provider for less than an order of magnitude more per year.
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Jan 16 13:24
Fuck SANs.
ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells
Jan 16 13:23
Well, you can buy an on-prem box with 768GB of RAM and maybe 20-25TB of usable fast flash storage for about £25k. If you want HA you can set up a-never mind.
The answer was a diatribe about not re-thinking infrastructure policy. You're the one with the 16 hour load times, sunshine.

Bit of a non-event here in Indonesia. We took the spawn to a soft play outfit in Jakarta.

And a belated happy Saturnalia to all. Just got to Solo and set up the computer.
