  • Ok so if I’m reading this correctly: They migrated from an OS and MySQL version receiving no updates since at least 2 years to MySQL 8.0 which will stop getting updates in 4 days. Also every service is running without any containerization and there is a single database for everything… and it all runs on a single host and I didn’t read one word about a backup strategy or disk encryption. Also not a single word about infrastructure as code like ansible so that you can reliably recreate the system… and The whole stuff is hosted in Germany for a Turkish software company - sounds like very good latency.

    My personal conclusion: This system WILL fail and the guy who designed it is stuck somewhere 10-20 years in the past.
