Welcome to Syntax. We found somebody to explain what the how Cooper Netties is to us.

I'm really excited to talk to David Flanagan today who is a Cooper Netties engineer and I'll start with the story really quickly before I introduce him.

We had the D-mark and SPF episode a couple weeks ago that I was I was prepping for and I was making sure all my ducks were in line and I was I was talking about how I had like domain aliases with two different domain names and my SPF was working with one of them but not with the other one and

is this normal and David jumped in the DMC's like hey like send me email and just

analyzing the headers and and checking things and like immediately understood

everything about these like server D-mark and all that crazy stuff so obviously a

pretty smart guy does a lot of stuff on

YouTube and on Twitter and we'll talk about what all he does under raw code

but he's gonna explain to us Kubernetes, servers,

hosting, hopefully you as a JavaScript or a full stack

dev, as you think, hmm, maybe I should run my own servers.

Maybe David will be able to help us today. So welcome David,

thanks so much for coming on. No, it's my pleasure. Happy to help, happy to be here and

excited to share some bare metal Kubernetes containers infrastructure is code nonsense with everybody.

Love that.

Yeah.

Yeah, Kubernetes is one of those things that it's come up enough on this show that we used to joke about, I mean even West

joked about it at the jump of this episode, that we have no idea what the hell it is. Or we just got in recently to like Koolify or self-hosting and Kubernetes keeps popping up in that whole

world of self-hosting so really stoked to have you on to talk all about all of the things that we can't explain with this stuff.

Maybe well people are like listening in the first couple of minutes and be like,

hmm, should I keep going on this one?

So like, like, should people know, like a regular web developer, should they know how to run their own servers?
