Run your own #kubernetes cluster on #raspberrypi's they said, it will be fun they said. So now once every blue moon there is a leader change in the middle of a #terraform apply 🤣
I found the borders between what should be part of IaC and what should be a service deployment operations to be somewhat blurred yet.
Although I think containers are probably here to stay (in likely a even more "invisible" format), the whole orchestration system is too complex and still looking for itself, just like serverless.
#Palm#WebOS, at the time it was developed mainly for smartphones, had this rather simple approach of “give me your logins, I’ll build a unified local stream of all your interactions on social networks” and I sometimes think it’s time to bring that concept back. #activitypub but with translators/connectors where needed. #Serverless. Locally on your device.
#Netlify's new #Drop tool allows you to create a new website using #AI and have it automatically deployed to #theCloud.
"Simply describe the website you want to build not only will #chatGPT author the markup scripts and style sheets but it will deploy it to Netlify I for you too!"
Pushpin decomposes real time web technologies (like #websockets into a request/response backend which works really well for #serverless and honestly most application stacks. Long lived connections are hard to manage near your app logic.
The GRIP protocol is straightforward and lower level than you'd expect.
They have recently released the #whitepaper for #fleekNetwork which not only has #IPFS but also decentralized edge CDN.
Most exciting of all is that they have a #Services concept that seems to allow for running your code on other people's nodes and getting a #crypto guarantee that the work was done!
TIL that when you manage #AWS Step Functions using #CDK or #CloudFormation, you have no control over JobDefinition revisions. So whenever you change a job definition, CloudFormation creates a new revision for it and inactivates the previously active one.
So in practice, when you update a StepFunctions job definition any existing long-running executions that depended on the old version will simply fail. And waste a ton of resources and potentially money.
This sort of problem is exactly what turns some engineering leaders off of #serverless for other architectures.
In particular, I wish AWS would spend more energy into making CloudFormation support better across the board. Like requiring support for new services and ensuring a minimum resource coverage as part of service teams' goals. Because it doesn't look like this is the case today. Something many people like @Quinnypig have been screaming (in the cloud) about for ages now.
Sorry for the rant. I like AWS and serverless, but this boiled my blood today because it had non-trivial impact into my operations and cost and took the team quite a while to figure out. Now we'll have to figure out an ugly workaround to implement. 🙄
Tip: if you're using Apache2 server on Debian, you should place your .cgi files under /usr/lib/cgi-bin. Don't forget to do a chmod +x my_script.cgi before hitting the path /cgi-bin/my_script.cgi on your web server.
@cwtch is by far my most favorite #secure#messenger. it's #serverless, and end to end encryption (#e2ee) is built in with #tor onion services. no setting up any infrastructure required, it's built on the back of the distributed @torproject operator network. no phone number is necessary, and you can have isolated IDs (profiles) for everyone you talk to
si me dieran un peso por cada servicio que he tenido que reparar por problemas de comunicación con con #airtable tendría suficiente para comprarme un chocolate.
Ahora, no me dan un peso, sino de hecho varios miles de pesos, entonces no solo me alcanza para comprarme un chocolate, sino una dotación anual de Turin seguramente.
Gracias, devs que saltaron al tren del #serverless#headless y otros lesses por darme de comer. 🙏
