>And now, I just got an email from Linus saying "we're now talking about git rm -rf in 6.18", after previously saying we just needed a go-between.
Edit to add that LWN noted this at the end of the "The rest of the 6.17 merge window" post[1].

We've been using terraform for a couple of years now to manage our infra for dev/qa/prod, and aside from minor HCL changes we haven't had any major problems keeping up with the latest versions. Having the ability to rebuild everything (Kubernetes, DNS, MySQL, etc.) automatically has saved us more than once!
However, it can be quite cumbersome to get a Nix expression to the point where it builds reliably for something that takes multiple steps like a Rails app, especially if you're building on macOS and deploying to Linux. It's come a _long_ way in recent years, but with Enterprise customers now embracing containerization we migrated everything to that and haven't looked back.

The integration with Let's Encrypt and a relatively smooth upgrade process has made it one of the more enjoyable services I manage. I would highly recommend it.

For a more in-depth discussion of physics, I’ve found the Feynman Lectures [1,2] to be quite enjoyable. It’s a long read (I’ve only finished the first book) but it is very thorough.

With that said, if you're looking for deep insight for performance, metrics, etc - then I'd still have to say that New Relic would be your best bet.
