I made a decision six months ago to have a team rip out it's code and replace it with a completely new implementation using a tool that it seemed like we were just slowly writing on our own unknowingly (dbt, for those curious). We're just using it in a way that it's not meant to be used - live reporting, instead of batch processing. Cool, we're being innovative.

Yesterday found that it's running slowly. Saw in the docs that it explicitly warns that when your project gets big the compilation time is slow. 30 second compilations on top of our query time is completely unacceptable, and it's just going to get worse as this thing grows. This means that the entire pivot is fucked, and we just wasted six months, and now we're not going to hit the deadline to get off the contract for the third party software we're trying to replace, which is going to cost us five million dollars. I went home, told my wife that if I were my company I'd fire me, and was an absolute wreck for about 24 hours.

Today I discovered that it's taking 30+ seconds because our infrastructure team allots, by default, 1/4th of a CPU core to each Kubernetes pod. It runs in five seconds on my Mac, yet in our fucking production environment we have a tiny fraction of the hardware that our individual computers have. I just have to go through some corporate hoops to justify the cost of running our production applications on hardware that's as good as our individual fucking laptops.

I don't expect anyone to read this; purely cathartic.

tl;dr - Fuck the cloud.

I'm not going to tell you (pdub) what to do but I feel it's ridiculous if you are paying someone who is providing you a service (sever?) that doesn't work properly - and they should give you some sort of compensation (money/refund). That's just my worthless 2cents.

15 minutes? Oh, the humanity
