24 alternatives to 9front (plan9) gopher server
My gopher server is running on different thin clients since march 2016. Serving a wide range of plan9 related content and other stuff, like a local weather meteogram. Best viewed with the LYNX text browser. So give it a visit, and mail me what else do you want to see about plan9. There's also a webserver running on it. Have fun!

I'm relatively new to Go, but recently got interested in how MCP servers work. I started thinking about what the architecture of such a project might look like, and decided to build a minimalist version as an experiment. I based it on my past experience writing regular REST API servers and figured it might be useful or interesting to others as well.

Hi HN! During the last few years, I worked on a few applications built with Go, running on AWS Lambda. As I got to know the platform better, I started to find Go & Lambda to be a really productive combination. The applications were fast, and they ended up being much cheaper to run than what my team & I had built before. It’s probably not the best platform for _every_ application, but I was surprised at how much of our workload worked well on it. As we brought new engineers on to our team and helped them get up to speed with the stack, I found that we were covering a lot of the same topics…

I have been using golang at work and personally for more than 2 years now. A problem i faced when I started and the problem new gophers even today is how to structure the project. Most (if not all) golang tutorials seem to be very simple and do not describe how to structure a large application. Following project is an attempt to Showcase a manageable project layout for services in golang. https://github.com/spy16/droplets This project is far from complete. Would like to hear some feedback from the community before continuing on this.

Hey HN, we're Sebastian and Mish and we are working on EdgeNode - A global serverless deployment platform. Typically, most applications are hosted in a single location. This makes the experience worse for the users based further away due to high latency. Higher latency leads to decreased conversion rates, impairs user interactions and ultimately reduces customer satisfaction. Amazon and Google operate their services globally to eliminate this issue and increase service reliablity. However, setting up and maintaining such an infrastructure is technically challenging and very costly. With…

This is based on an approach I made for a very high performance message and video multiplexing server. The project died, but I'm glad I get to share the a basic version with some http test code now. I admit this is the second time I've tried to show this off here today; I posted earlier but it got lost when no-one was watching :(

Hey! I'm a solo developer having fun learning Go. I have a side hustle and wanted to implement currency localization. I could use existing IP databases, but hosting on serverless is slow. So I built my own. I was surprised how fun it can be to use Go, and it's fast. Thankfully, Go's speed makes up for my dodgy code. Anyway, I'd love to get some feedback on my website/API. After a few weeks of testing and losing money on ads, I'm confident it's very reliable. This isn't a promo. It's basicly free (30k lookups/month), so there's no need to pay. Any advice or tips on how to grow and…

I created this website about a month ago to solve a problem I was facing myself as an aspiring digital nomad. It is very important to find an accommodation with fast and reliable Internet. I also specifically wanted places with Ethernet access to minimize latency as much as possible since I (and many others) use a VPN hosted back at home. The database is in its infancy but covers 11 countries so far. I realize the UX is very basic and a minimum viable product. I intend to have someone help me overhaul the design (with ReactJS perhaps) to make it mobile friendly and more appealing.

I was debating when to post this, but I've been using it locally in a variety of situations for several months and I think it's pretty stable (and usable!). There are more features I'd like to add, but I wanted to see if there was much interest before spending much more time on it right now.

I built ServerSearcher (https://serversearcher.com) to make it easier to find cloud/virtual and bare-metal servers that match specific requirements like RAM, location, or CPU. The idea came from my own frustration trying to compare cloud servers across dozens of provider websites. There are a lot of server marketplaces and hosts, but I couldn’t find a single place to search across all of them with proper filters. So I made one. ServerSearcher indexes servers from a few providers but I have only just started and there are more providers being added at the moment. Next I'll be…

I'd like to share a project I've been working on for the past few months. It's a distributed workflow engine written entirely in Go. Some highlights: * Tasks are executed in a Docker container * Can run stand-alone or distributed * Highly extensible * Able to enforce limits (CPU/RAM) per task * Web UI Would love the get your feedback on it, and find out if this could be useful.

So I'm a junior Go dev and I made a small site that allows me to share images with someone privately and securely, and give me control over how many times the private link can be shared and how long the image will be accessible for. There are similar services to this one, but they are either convoluted with ads, or require sign-up, or expect you to fill out a survey or something. picburn is small, safe, and has no interest (nor the code or the server space) for storing your uploads. give it a try if it fits your usecase and let me know what you think. Note: there was a typo in the url

Hey HN - Today we launched a new globally available Serverless platform that thinks about simplicity and DX first and foremost. Let us know what you think - try it now for free. Traditional serverless functions are islands. Each function handles a request, does its work, and forgets everything. Need one function to talk to another? You’ll be making HTTP calls over the public internet, managing authentication between your own services, and dealing with unnecessary network latency for simple internal operations. This architectural limitation has held back serverless adoption for complex…

Gopher gives you what Cloudflare gives you — TLS termination, automatic HTTPS, hidden origin IPs, and bot detection at the edge — except the edge is yours end-to-end. The built-in tunnel turns any device with outbound internet into a publicly reachable server. Open source, self-hosted, Apache 2.0.
