The migration path we took:
Week 1-2: Research & POC
Week 3-4: Staging deployment
Week 5-6: Prod rollout (10% -> 50% -> 100%)
Week 7-8: Optimization
Total cost: ~200 eng hours
Would do it again in a heartbeat.

What about monitoring? How do you track metrics? We're evaluating this for Q1 implementation.

Consider the long-term maintenance burden before adopting.

What about monitoring? How do you track metrics? Looking for real-world benchmarks if anyone has them.

Pro tip: if you're implementing this, make sure to configure memory limits correctly. We spent 2 weeks debugging random failures only to discover the default timeout was too low. Changed from 30s to 2min and all issues disappeared.

Did you use version X or Y? We found Y more stable. Trying to build a business case for management.

Just implemented this last week. Already seeing improvements!

What's the performance impact? Did you benchmark before/after? Our team is particularly concerned about production stability.

We tried this but hit issues with X. How did you solve it? Looking for real-world benchmarks if anyone has them.

Cautionary tale: we rushed this implementation without proper testing and it caused a 4-hour outage. The issue was connection pool exhaustion. Lesson learned: always test in staging first, especially when dealing with payment processing.

Has anyone else encountered issues with Prometheus when running in GCP us-west-2? We're seeing intermittent failures during peak traffic. Our setup: serverless with CloudWatch. Starting to wonder if we should switch to Prometheus.

Has anyone else encountered issues with GitLab CI when running in GCP eu-west-1? We're seeing intermittent failures during peak traffic. Our setup: hybrid cloud with CloudWatch. Starting to wonder if we should switch to Ansible.
