What it does

Turboku is a tool for launching Heroku web dynos on fast infrastructure. It works by giving you modern SSL + http2 and launching dedicated micro VMs on physical hardware.

Documentation and guides from the team at Fly.io.

Hi, it's us, Fly.io. We hate these things as much as anyone, but the marketing gods demand conversion metrics. This guide will walk you through migrating your Heroku app to Fly.io. Just follow the steps in order. Time required: Most apps can be migrated in under 30 minutes. Unlike Heroku’s dyno-based tiers, Fly.io uses pay-as-you-go pricing - you only pay for the compute, storage, and bandwidth you actually use. There are no fixed plan tiers to choose from. See fly.io/pricing for current rates. First, let’s capture everything about your Heroku app. Fly works best with a Dockerfile. If you don’t have one, that’s fine - fly launch will generate one for you based on…from fly.io

    Startup Weekend just started in our city and we thought we'll build a Heroku autoscaler that really works, and saves you not only from slowly building traffic but from the slashdot effect as well.<p>Those who tried out ddollar's gem (and all forks of it) or even Heroscale know that the problem's not so trivial to solve.<p>We hope people will get it, and pay a small monthly fee to save many days of inrastructure coding so they can focus on business logic instead.<p>URL is: http://scalefu.com/

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
