IronFunctions VS Appwrite

> Also everything was new at one time.

Hah, this is a good point, but in my eyes lots of things that were new... never really grew up and were just deprecated and died.

For example, if someone based their setup on IronFunctions, they might have run into a bit of a painful situation, seeing as the project has been largely abandoned: https://github.com/iron-io/functions

Same for a database solution like Clusterpoint, the support for which just ended and you were left to migrate away to something else: https://github.com/clusterpoint

Ergo, I'd say that it's good for others to suffer the consequences of being trend setters and making wild bets on new and risky products and to just reap the benefits of their efforts later yourself, when things are safer. If a project has survived for a reasonably long time, it's a good indicator that it'll probably keep surviving in the future as well (there was a name for this, sadly can't recall what that was).

> I’m of the opinion that lambda-as-in-serverless is an evil.

Are there any other serverless solutions that you'd recommend?

Maybe a more open cloud function solution that could also be self-hosted, should the need arise?

As far as I know, OpenFaaS might serve that niche for some, though of course there will be no cloud solutions as large as Lambda available: https://github.com/openfaas/faas

Also there used to be IronFunctions, but those seem basically abandoned at this point: https://github.com/iron-io/functions

The ledger Tron proxy is not working so you will have your money but the ledger live can't see it. I'm not sure if anyone has logged a ticket, but I do believe if you go into developer options in ledger live you can make it connect directly to iron.io and that will resolve it. Only works on desktop though. I'm also getting some other errors randomly so perhaps there are some bigger issues. Anyway, I'd suggest the dev option to check it out.

If you haven't tried Appwrite, make sure you give it a spin. It's a open source backend that packs authentication, databases, storage, serverless functions, and all kinds of utilities in a neat API. Appwrite can be self-hosted, or you can use Appwrite Cloud starting with a generous free plan.

What is Appwrite? Appwrite is an open-source backend server that abstracts the complexity of backend development, allowing developers to focus on building their applications. It provides a wide range of services including databases, storage, functions, and authentication, all designed to work seamlessly together. This integration simplifies the development process, reducing the need for extensive configuration and integration work.

Appwrite is an open source BaaS platform that provides services like serverless functions, serverless databases, user authentication, and messaging. Since its release, it has quickly become a popular choice for building websites and applications.

Appwrite for user management, databases, and serverless functions

Appwrite: Open-source backend server for web and mobile developers.

Today, this ecosystem is going strong with new providers like Hasura, AppWrite and Supabase powering millions of projects. There are a few reasons people choose this style of hosting, especially if they are more comfortable with frontend development. BaaS lets them set up a database in a secure way, expose some business logic on top of the data, and connect via a dev-friendly SDK from their app or website code to save data easily. These modern tools build a blend of managed database with curated plugins such as authentication, great admin dashboards, and function as a service type capability - all in one package, and often offered as a integrated hosted service.

Joins - see Future of Queries - MariaDB supports json joins, so definitely possible!

Wow, looks nice! I almost felt like I could understand Bitcoins code xD

Could you do Appwrite? https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite

I'm not affiliated to them, just wanted to get started hacking it.
