Pros
- freedom, you are to bring a task across the finish line with any methods and tools as long as there are peer agreements.
- people are willing to help, when there are problems your colleague will swarm over it. albeit, it can be slow since expert maybe in Asia or Europe
- pulsar is a growing fascinating technology. it has it's own growing pains but future is looking up. problem is how we get there at when
Cons
- unorganized, just like any other startups
- difficult to build a company around an open source product, look at the latest from hashicorp or redis
- breadth and depth of knowledge you need to learn and utilize is wild. from kubernetes, distributed computing, networking, aws, gcp, azure and more.
