plane VS pingora

One reason I'm excited about this is that it appears to let you write arbitrary routing logic into a layer 7 proxy. This is something we had to build for https://plane.dev and it would have been nicer to use something like this, but we couldn't find anything like it at the time.

Of course, as a user, I would prefer as much as possible to be under MIT or Apache. See for instance https://plane.dev/ for a similar project which is MIT licensed and https://jamsocket.com/ for the commercial version.

From an earlier blog post[1], the system for synchronizing file/document state lives independently for their database. As I understand it, their database is for metadata rather than actual document content.

> It’s worth noting that we only use multiplayer for syncing changes to Figma documents. We also sync changes to a lot of other data (comments, users, teams, projects, etc.) but that is stored in Postgres, not our multiplayer system, and is synced with clients using a completely separate system that won’t be discussed in this article. Although these two systems are similar, they have separate implementations because of different tradeoffs around certain properties such as performance, offline availability, and security.

This post[2] goes into more detail on how they spin up backend processes to serve as the source of truth while documents are open (we took heavy inspiration from it when building https://plane.dev, which aims to be an open-source implementation of that architecture.)

We have been happily using Depot for months now to build https://plane.dev. Prior to finding Depot, we basically gave up on building an M1 image from a GitHub action.

(btw, I always get suspicious when a Show HN post has a lot of praise in the comments, but I swear the Depot folks did not ask me to post anything and I only saw the post because I was checking HN)

Congrats on the launch!

We've been using Depot with Plane (https://plane.dev/). Prior to depot, I had to disable arm64 builds because they slowed the build down so much (30m+) on GitHub's machines. With Depot, we get arm64 and amd64 images in ~2m.

This is also called a framework:

Pingora is actually fast and small (it does not require a JS engine). Way faster and smaller than Hono.

If you want something to be really fast: do not use RegExes.

So it looks like they are intending this more as a framework that you build your own custom proxy on top of for your team/company. So you just extend the conf for your custom filters and then you add the wrapper systemd Service.

I might try wrapping it in an envoy style service as a weekend project and just dockerizing it, seems pretty straightforward.

They have a recommended systemd config: https://github.com/cloudflare/pingora/blob/8797329225018c4d0...

And their conf support: https://github.com/cloudflare/pingora/blob/8797329225018c4d0...

cert it via cron that uses the graceful upgrade functionality should work
