Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog from a thread titled "Farewell, Google Maps", which concerns leaving Google Maps for open-source mapping tools and open data. The one comment only lists alternative mapping services.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
We're a product and consulting business that helps organizations understand and improve transportation networks, digitally.
What Hacker News says?
The upside of this change is it should help raise awareness and investment in mapping products that are open source and use open data. Off the top of my head, there are a number of companies/services that can serve as alternatives to Google Maps, and one way or another they all contribute to the collective quality of open source and open data map tools: * geocode.earth ( https://geocode.earth ) has geocoding includi…

HN discussionWe've had much success with Argo workflows over the past months. Among other projects, we use it to generate city-sized extracts of mapping data from the OpenStreetMap planet.

We're also able to reuse Dockerfiles and resources between…

For what it's worth, my colleagues and I have had great luck with Argo Workflows and wrote up a blog post about some of its advantages a few years ago: https://www.interline.io/blog/scaling-openstreetmap-data-wor...

on “Creators of Argo CD Release New OSS Project Kargo for Next Gen Gitops”It depends upon what your startup is doing. Maybe Kubernetes is overkill for a basic "CRUD" web app backed by a relational database and some object storage. It's very helpful at our business that runs a variety of web services that are powered by batch data workflows. Kubernetes enables us to spread both the process workloads and the batch workloads across sets of servers, with redundancy. For others in a similar si…
