gossip-glomers VS flyctl

There's a nice-looking series of exercises from fly.io: https://fly.io/dist-sys/

(I haven't actually done them myself yet, but they look great. Not a standalone resource, but good for practice)

Really worth noting that Maelstrom was the project they used to build the "Fly.io Distributed Systems Challenge" https://fly.io/dist-sys/ which was pretty popular at one point and discussed here, too. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34897723

LiteFS works similarly to async replication you'd find in Postgres or MySQL so it doesn't try to be as strict as something running a distributed consensus protocol like Raft. The guarantees for async replication are fairly loose so I'm not sure Jepsen testing would be useful for that per se.

On the LiteFS Cloud side, it currently does streaming backups so it has similar guarantees but we are expanding its feature set and I could see running Jepsen testing on that in the future. We worked with Kyle Kingsbury in the past on some distributed systems challenges[1] and he was awesome to work with. Would definitely love to engage with him again.

They have really good tech blog posts. Also, they have https://fly.io/dist-sys/

Gossip Glomers https://fly.io/dist-sys/ by fly.io is a great way to learn distributed systems. They are fun to solve challenges. zio-maelstrom helps you get started faster in Scala!

There’s also this to practice https://fly.io/dist-sys/

Yeah no the embedded stuff is more a hobby, I'm interested professionally in stuff like what you said you're doing now in another comment, distributed systems and such. Infrastructure for cloud providers, that kind of thing. Right now I'm doing this distributed systems challenge series thing https://fly.io/dist-sys/ which should be cool to put on my github.

To begin with, you could go with a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) provider like Heroku, or Fly for a more seamless experience. You can also do a bit of DevOps: set up a Docker installation on a VPS and deploy your app there.

To begin visit fly.io to create an account. Next install flyctl a command line tool for creating and deploying fly apps. macOS

For frontend deployment, I used Netlify (for the generous free package) and the recommended fly.io for server + database (also cheap package).

Create an account on Fly.io.

You can learn more about fly.io and tigris, we will need to create an account on both platforms for this project regardless. Anyway with the theory out of the way let's get started in the next section as we create our accounts and start building the app.

Fly.io is a platform that helps you run your apps and databases closer to your users all around the world. It takes your app code, packages it up neatly, and puts it on virtual machines that can be quickly started or stopped. This makes your app faster for users and more reliable. Fly.io is easy to use, works well for small projects or personal apps. It's a great way to make sure your app runs smoothly for people no matter where they are.

In this post, we'll start from scratch, running FerretDB locally via Docker, trying out the connection with mongosh and the MongoDB Node.js client, and finally deploy FerretDB to Fly.io for a production ready set up.

Fly is a cloud platform that focuses on global edge computing. Fly specializes in high-performance hosting and provides a global network of edge locations. Fly is known for its scalability and performance optimizations.

But videototextai.com is built using NextJS + Firebase auth + Firestore and a backend deployed at fly.io . Fly makes it really easy to deploy docker containers and that is IMO the fastest way to develop, you can setup a local setup
