Ask HN: Help choosing between AWS ECS and EKS

Hacker News - Fri, 09/18/2026 - 6:46am

Hello everyone. I was recently hired at an established company that is in the process of migrating to AWS from Heroku. I am the second devops/SRE like employee, the other person has more of an IT background. He, along with the 20ish person dev team, have no experience with anything cloud or IaC. Our workloads are almost entirely stateless web services, with some data pipeline work that has already been moved to AWS lambda.

My gut is telling me ECS is the better choice for this team - simpler, no operational maintenance, almost no additional abstractions beyond the AWS primitives people will need to learn anyway. A consulting team hired before I was brought in are pushing EKS, but I’m not convinced that the improved devex is worth the increase in complexity and operational burden for our team. Their argument is that developers can be effectively quarantined within k8s, so the increase in maintenance on the cluster itself is offset by the reduction in work around custom IAM permissioning, multiple AWS accounts (we’d just use namespaces within the cluster), etc.

Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.

Show HN: tuisheet, a terminal spreadsheet compatible with OpenXML (xlsx) files

Hacker News - Fri, 09/18/2026 - 5:55am

Presenting tuisheet: A love letter to VisiCalc and Lotus 1-2-3.

The motive was to code a programme inspired by VisiCalc and Lotus 1-2-3 interface, running on terminal, but fully compatible with the current universal standard of OpenXML (xlsx files for spreadsheets). Coded in Go lang; apart from my being more familiar with this programming language, it helps making a single executable, low on resources. Also, I like Go's compiler ability to cross compile to many platforms and OSes (which I personally often meet through my daily job). By the way, tuisheet is much more thoroughly tested and used on Linux than on Windows (or Solaris, AIX, BSD).

Show HN: Rabbit Hole – a daily Wikipedia racing game

Hacker News - Fri, 09/18/2026 - 5:54am

Wikipedia racing used to be huge - you'd sit in a computer room at school trying to get from "Cheese" to "World War II" before your mate did. Rabbit Hole is a wordle-style daily version that I made: one Start article, one Target article, navigate there using only Wikipedia links. New puzzle every day, fewest clicks wins. Share your results (and your route) each day with your friends and see who had the strangest path. https://rabbitholegame.net
