piku VS containers-roadmap

I like it. I wrote Piku (https://github.com/piku/piku) with much the same interest in fixing some of my pains, so I get where you're coming from with this. Will drop it into one of my current projects to build ESP32 binaries :)

I never had any serious issue with SD cards since the Pi 2B (and I've kept Pis running for years).

Anyway, for those wanting to deploy more generic apps, that is why I initially wrote https://github.com/piku/piku - you still have to flash the OS (and rpi-imager does that with sane defaults these days), but once you're done you have Heroku-like deployments for any language runtime you install on the Pi.

I also have https://github.com/rcarmo/ground-init, a cloud-init like shim that simplifies setting up machines (I'm a big fan of cloud-init, but since Raspbian doesn't support it and Ubuntu on ARM requires some fiddling to make it work I decided it wasn't too hard to roll my own).

(I probably should look into glueing that into rpi-imager, but there is are only so many hours in the day...)

I automated that away a long time ago: https://github.com/piku/piku/blob/master/piku.py#L814

So, stupid question: why couldn't I just use the 'baremetal' OS provided by Hetzner, install Postgres, Redis & node, create a separate db for each app, and run each app with https://github.com/piku/piku on a different port? For backups, I'll setup crontab to dump dbs locally and to S3.

piku?

Thanks for showing up and answering questions. Congratulations on the release.

What kind of plans for support of Rust's evolving async ecosystem?

Any particular reason why the public roadmap does not show the columns similar to "Researching", "We're Working On It" like the other similar public AWS Roadmaps? See example for Containers: https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/projects/1

Would be nice to have fully working examples on Github, for most common scenarios across most AWS services. This is something that historically

Second, We will only rely on one managed node group, but we will leverage Karpenter; however, karpenter needs to be deployed on a node. (This may change soon once the Karpenter is available on the EKS Control Plane.) [EKS] Karpenter inside control plane · Issue #1792 · aws/containers-roadmap

As written in the AWS documentation, during periods of extremely high demand, Fargate Spot capacity might be unavailable. In concrete terms, if your ECS service is set up to execute tasks in 100% Spot, there is a risk of running out of capacity. A workaround has been created in the hope that one day this issue will be implemented by the AWS team. This workaround allows you to set up two ECS services :

Deploying Fargate with CDK has to have been the most pleasant developer experience I have ever had with any product so far.

If image caching becomes a reality with Fargate I can't imagine a need to ever use anything else

Eks Fargate doesn't support spot yet https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/issues/622

Until podman could be used with AWS ECR/ECS it's pretty much moot in my case: https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/issues/626
