Products that do what Serverless Apps on Cloudflare – A book on the Cloudflare dev platform does
Hello HN! I am Ashley, author of the book Serverless Apps on Cloudflare, and I'm excited to share it with you and hopefully spread the awareness of the powerful and developer-focussed platform that Cloudflare has built, that I believe is currently flying under the radar! For years, I've been building applications on Cloudflare - from websites, to APIs, to Discord bots and everything in-between. The platform has grown hugely in the past few years, to the point it has all the essential building blocks for modern applications. It's also built with engineers in mind, the developer experience…

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…

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…

Hi, I spent the last three months writing a 200+ page book, with 19 corresponding pull requests. https://www.mikenikles.com/cloud-native-web-development It's a hands-on guidebook on how to develop a cloud-native web application based on technologies I am familiar with. Svelte, Tailwind CSS, Cypress.io, Gitpod.io, Firebase & Google Cloud at a high-level. The goal was to walk through the entire end-to-end process, from zero to production! It walks through building a foundation needed to develop on top of. CI / CD, testing, feature toggles, production monitoring, etc. To…

Hello HN, Milin @Noop.dev[1] here! We're very excited to share Noop Workshop with you! For the past several months we have been preparing to launch the Noop Developer Platform. The platform handles all aspects of running and operating your software. Until a few months ago, our focus was on hosting and running software in the Cloud. But we realized there's a growing need for local development tools that can help make the transition from local development to cloud hosting easier. And so, Workshop was born. We felt existing tools were either too specialized or too disconnected from the specific…

I'm the technical co-founder of Baseline, and I wanted to share our latest creation with you all. After struggling with some limitations of other popular frameworks for our own startup projects, we decided to build something better—Baseline. We've designed our framework to address the specific needs of startups like ours that require scalability, reliability, and ease of use without the hefty overheads. We’re launching as an Open-source product. Baseline is built on AWS and leverages serverless technologies to offer a solution that scales automatically and is cost-effective. With other…

Hi everyone, it’s Alex, Simon, Felipe and the team from Unikraft.io We have built kraft.cloud, a millisecond cloud platform, where apps and services cold start, scale to zero and autoscale in milliseconds, ensuring you never pay for idle, can efficiently cope with traffic peaks, and don’t have to deal with complex cold start issues. As of today we are now in open early access! The platform (and we) come from research in the area of lightweight virtualization — trying to ask the question of how efficient cloud platforms could (or should) be while still retaining strong, hardware-level…

Hi, I spent the last year and a half writing a book on Docker and microservices, which was finally released on O'Reilly this week. "Using Docker: Developing and Deploying Software with Containers" takes a holistic approach, showing how containers can be used as the central artifact in a modern software development workflow. If anyone has any q's or feedback, please feel free to comment below. The book is available at: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920035671.do (use code AUTHD for a discount)…

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…

Hey all. Today the book on remote working that I wrote for The Pragmatic Bookshelf has gone into beta. It's called Effective Remote Working. I didn't plan on writing a second book, but 8 months ago during a conversation with the publisher we agreed that it was the right time for a book like this. My first book was Become an Effective Software Engineering Manager, which I did a Show HN on before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22033129 That book has so far been successful with lots of great reviews and over $100,000 in net sales. A beta book with PragProg means that you…

Hi HN, I built smollaunch.com, a lightweight launch platform for developers who want to share projects without the noise, voting games, or marketing theatrics of bigger launch sites. I’ve shipped a lot of small tools and noticed that most launch platforms are built around growth-hacking rather than genuine discovery. Many devs just want a clean place to publish something they built and get feedback from peers who care about the craft. So I made a simpler version of that. What it does: - Post your project with a short description and link - Get a clean, minimal launch page and profile - Other…

Hey Hackernews! My names Olly (a Designer from the UK). I’ve been a long time lurker on Hackernews but now I finally have something to share with the community. Along with my friend Oliver (Developer, Sweden/Japan) we have been working on Remotewise.io. It’s a new resource and learning platform dedicated to remote work. We’ve both been working remotely for most of our careers. Over this time remote work has been gaining huge momentum as a viable and desirable way to work and we believe it’s the future. We’ve been working on this during our evenings and weekends in between our full-time…

the cloud is a walled garden built for profit [ not efficiency ]. you’re paying for idle, autoscaling is too slow, and serverless is a scam. locked in, overcharged, and out of options. lttle.cloud is different. decentralized, open-source, and built for real performance [ sub-10ms cold start ], true pay-for-what-you-use pricing, and zero vendor lock-in. deploy anything as "serverless" from any docker image, no rewrites, no bullshit. powered by the blockchain and built in public, it’s transparent, efficient, and free from vendor lock-in. run your own private cloud or join the decentralized…
