azure-k3s-cluster VS pipes

If anyone wants a ready-to-go Azure template to play around, here you go:

https://github.com/rcarmo/azure-k3s-cluster

(I tweak this every now and then since I both used it as a training sample for my customers/peers and as a way to run my own batch processes as cheap as possible)

The runtime controller is uwsgi, which acts as supervisor for all processes of an app _or_ embeds the right interpreter-it's pretty much perfect for that, as it also has a cron scheduler and an on-demand, fire-up-an-interpreter-upon-request mode.

As to the k3s stuff, it's all here: https://github.com/rcarmo/azure-k3s-cluster. I update this from time to time as I occasionally nuke the entire cluster and rebuild it (I use AKS for non-hobby workloads, but a single master is just fine for most of my stuff).

https://github.com/pipes-digital/pipes can extract feeds from pages. Pattern recognizer logic when trying the UI is a bit simple, but you can also write selectors on your own. It could work for you.

I'm not sure I understand the need, but take a look at https://pipes.digital/

Merging feeds is one of the main use cases of my site pipes. It might be one of the site you stumbled upon and dismissed, but there is an AGPL licensed version you can self-host at https://github.com/pipes-digital/pipes.

Great writeup, especially with all the workflow canvas screenshots. Makes me want to try out Node-RED.

From a few weeks ago on HN:

“pipes.digital is a spiritual successor to Yahoo Pipes, a graphical interface to get data from the web and to manipulate it by connecting block”

These look like great tools.

I think calling these low-code / no-code frameworks is however quite misleading though, because there is actually code, it’s just inside the component! Code still has to be written.

One thing that these low-code / no-code frameworks do well is provide a structure that you can easily show visually.

This is particularity useful when you have to work with clients that aren’t that technical. It makes creating specifications much easier, which can be reviewed and revised before embarking on a big development effort.
