Hi HN! We’re Yann, Edouard, and Bastien from Koyeb (https://www.koyeb.com/). We’re building a platform to let you deploy full-stack apps on high-performance hardware around the world, with zero configuration. We provide a “global serverless feeling”, without the hassle of re-writing all your apps or managing k8s complexity [1]. We built Scaleway, a cloud service provider where we designed ARM servers and provided them as cloud servers. During our time there, we saw customers struggle with the same issues while trying to deploy full-stack applications and APIs resiliently. As…

Hey HN, I've been working on a little side project and could really use your feedback. So, I've always been fascinated by those stories of successful startups doing crazy things in their early days - you know, like Airbnb founders personally photographing listings or DoorDash founders delivering food themselves. I started collecting these stories, and before I knew it, I had a pretty big list. So I thought, "Why not turn this into a website?" And that's how https://dothingsthatdontscale.org was born. It's super basic right now - just a simple directory with about 70 examples. But…

Hi HN! My name is Aymen, and I'm here with Kenichi. Some years ago, I launched a side project. A newsletter called DevOpsLinks, then a 2nd newsletter (Shipped), then a third one (Kaptain). These 3 newsletters are now part of a bigger project that I called FAUN (https://faun.dev). We have newsletters, a Slack team chat, and a job board, but I had a feeling that something is missing... it's a podcast, right :) Last year, I discussed the idea of creating a podcast with a member of FAUN (who is Kenichi btw), but we were not really ready. That's why it took us some months to start…

Hi all, I'm one of the authors of Serverless-Stack.com — an open source guide to building full-stack apps with AWS Lambda and React. Since it's launch in 2017, it's become one of the most widely read guides for building Serverless apps. Today we are adding a new section to the guide that walks you through the best practices of building large Serverless applications. It tries to address some of the most common questions that teams have: - How should my project be structured when I have dozens of interdependent services? - How should I manage my environments? - What are the best practice for…
