Hi everyone. Does anyone know of an online community similar to Indie Hackers but focused on devops? I sometimes come up with ideas for SaaS businesses related to devops and infrastructure, but I need people to spitball with.

Is anyone using Dagger.io regularly as part of their core CI process now in an enterprise company? It's so intriguing to have a pure clean process that both CI and local match 100%, but confusing as heck when I've given it a shot. I'm really interested in Cue and it seems a very promising way to containerize mostly all of what you need to run.

That said, because I work in Go, mostly the tooling and Mage (make alternative in Go) work really well and I never really deal with dependency issues till i do other things like pre-commit with python and other tools.

Gut reaction initially is that it's years before it will be ready for widespread usage and that it's more a niche product with an unclear direction in scope. That's my first impression because of the mixing between task running, isolated build, consideration of pre-commit checks and more.

Hi all do any teams use their secret store (e.g. Vault/Secrets Manager) for storing non-secrets (e.g. the URL for an RDS instance) as well as secrets? Or is it better to enforce only secrets are stored there?
