I don’t think the person commenting knows shit. 
  
 Any enterprise customer or AWS gets different pricing than what you see on the pricing page. When a company’s monthly bill can go in millions of dollars, you bet AWS gives them special pricing. Plus they have always tried to give special pricing on newer services so as to entice customers to try them out. 
  
 And Zomato was hosting their own Tidb stack before shifting to DynamoDB. So they aren’t wrong when they say it reduces operational complexity. And AWS’ control plane autoscales DynamoDB much better than a self-hosted TiDB stack managed by in-house SREs.

So, its both way true it has pricing benefits 
 But, the primary reasons could be more benefits ( engineering related ) towards shifting to DynamoDB

I think the person who is commenting is speaking the truth no body gives a shit about engineering as long as it working and with cheap options for db it’s like sone pe suhaga

Software Engineer

Pricing is key. Dont think anyone wants aws billing running into thousands per month

Recruiter

Speaking from a purely business POV, if it helps me save cost, do it. 
 Repercussions if any, blame it on the “Tech team” 😂

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

DINKs, (dual income no kids) have been gaining traction a lot lately. I want to know from the members of gravevine, what are their views on being a DINK couple or a DINKWAD( double income no kids with a dog). From financial prospects like having a huge disposable income to emotional aspects like not having a legacy or going against custom Indian tradition. Do share your thoughts 🤔💭

What are your thoughts about being DINKS?

Guys, I've been watching matches alone since my childhood but I've never enjoyed it as much as I did this time. This year, again I watched all the matches by myself in my room, but thanks to Grapevine, I never felt like I was actually alone. I was watching on TV while replying and posting on Grapevine. It felt like I was watching it with all of you.

Huge shoutout to @Micheal_Scott for the platform. Thanks to @BiryaniEnthu for all those amazing match threads. And to all the others @TheOatmeal @lord_ @Careermode @samosa @AlphaGrindset etc. for your commentary. Special thanks to my brother @GallonMusk, your predictions were always on point. And that biryani is on me 😂.

@IntrovertBeing next World Cup, remind me and I'll get you that blue jersey.

Enjoy, guys, we finally won it! 🇮🇳

We Won, Thank You Grapevine

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I am a middle class guy working as a senior engineer in one of the product companies. I belong from the north-east, and I am the only child in my family. 

Since covid, I was working in a wfh setup. Recently, my company has ended work from home for everyone, and I am supposed to move to Bangalore very soon or quit. 

I am an active user on all social media groups on Reddit, Fb, etc. For the past couple of months after seeing so much of negative news about Bangalore, Especially the high population, skyrocketing rents, the auto unions, corruption, cut-throat competition, discriminative news, traffic issues, etc. It makes me nervous to be honest. My wfh here was pretty chill, and I had a very limited social circle here, but was satisfied since I could spend most time with my mom and dad. 

Im very afraid now about what should I do next, shall I quit the job and search for wfh, or shall I make my move. I don’t have any acquaintances there, no friends, no idea about what I’ll be doing next, how to start house hunting, or job hunting. At this point I am miserable and overwhelmed to think about all of this. 

Anyone who has gone through all of these, If you can share your 2cents, experiences or thoughts, about how you dealt this phase. It will be really helpful for me at this point in my journey. Thanks in advance! 🙏🏻

It's been 4 years since covid started and all of us went into the first lockdown (24 March 2020). I just thought of this while making another post, and this has actually taken me aback. It was such a crazy time, and now it's just long gone. 

- We got a lot of time to be home, to be around loved ones, most of us are privileged and hence Covid wasn't bad at all. We were mostly making Dalgona Coffee, sourdough bread, playing PUBG, watching movies, etc. 

- A lot of us also lost loved ones. It was really brutal for those who did. And it was always scary for the rest of us. 

- Most of us who have been in tech saw our salaries climb the fastest. The absolute peak job market, best hikes, the world was very positive in that sense - not as much work and enough pay to enjoy 

- The biggest thing I've noticed: Covid got me hooked to Instagram/YT Shorts/and other social media. I feel like I used to be more aware and awake before covid. Somehow, a lot of exposure to social media/content etc. has made me just very zoned out in life. I think a lot of us have a much shorter attention span. 

IDK if this is true, but certainly feels like it is true. 

Just penning this down because I'm genuinely tripping how long it's been.

4 years since Covid started. What are your memories from that time? How have you evolved since?

Hello everyone!

Hope it's going well.

What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss.
Think of it like the watercooler at your office.

Look forward to hearing from you all!

Daily Watercooler - 10th Aug

Had a chat with a legendary soonicorn founder yesterday evening and his take was that we are definitely not getting another bull run this decade.

I obviously think more optimistically and hopefully things will look up soon.

What do you all think about this tho?

Reply in comments. Do you all think we ever getting the bull run again? 😔

Heard from a friend that he flew out to his office in the middle of the night from his wedding because mortgage backed securities started to crumble in NA during ’07 crisis.

Dude was bummed.
