Raspberry Mistery : 200 Techs Using A Single Raspberry Pi: The Temporary Server That Failed
About this episode
A few hundred field engineers. Real humans. With vans. And jobs. All coordinated by a device roughly the size of a coaster and powered by something suspiciously similar to a phone charger.
For months, it runs slow but flawlessly. Tickets dispatched. Routes optimized. Managers happy. The tiny silicon hero hums along in its noble plastic case, bravely pretending it's not one 'apt upgrade' away from a crisis.
Join us as we unravel the mystery, debate the true definition of "production-ready," and ask the question no one wanted to say out loud.
