    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).

    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

  • Tron deposit

    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.

What are some alternatives?
