    Hey HN! I've been working on a Ruby On Rails SaaS template as my primary side project for the last month, it's name is Locomotive. https://www.locomotive.it.com/ Locomotive offers: 1. Stripe subscriptions and webhooks set-up 2. Devise authentication 3. PostgreSQL database 4. Prebuilt components and pages with TailwindCSS Locomotive is pretty simple that's why I price it just for €50 (or a bit more than $50)

    Railway▲405

    Hacked together a service in Go https://github.com/xlab/cdn-s3-go that routes content request to any arbitrary S3-compatible bucket. Some infra providers are offering free egress, but buckets are only private (hello Railway), and not geo-distributed. An L4 balancer will cost a fortune (hello Cloudflare). cdn-s3-go solves this by looking up objects, generating a pre-signed URLs and redirecting the clients directly. Free egress, cheap public geo-distributed CDN!

    Hi. We just open sourced Bullet Train, a Feature Flag and Remote Config platform. It's a collection of tools: server API, admin front end and clients for a bunch of different platforms. Together they allow you to control feature flags and remote config across projects, environments and users. We realised that we were building ad-hoc feature flag stuff into individual projects over and over, so we had a look around to see if there was a way of doing this in a more formal manner. There are a few commercial solutions around but they were quite expensive and seemed to be aimed more at the…
