  Project mention: 4 Things to Consider When Choosing a Go API Framework | dev.to | 2021-11-16

  Eli Bendersky has an excellent series where they walk you through building a REST API in Go by first starting with the standard library and then introducing a router such as gorilla or chi and finally switching over to using a complete web framework. This series shows some of the downsides of sticking with the standard library entirely and how extra libraries such as the two router packages above can be extremely helpful.

  Project mention: Ask HN: Does anyone else find the AWS Lambda developer experience poor? | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-04-18

  I can also recommend serverless.com framework for local development and running lambdas offline.

  AWS provides a docker image for emulating DynamoDB which works great for local dev and will commonly be paired with lambdas.

  Another option I have used recently for implementing node web services is https://github.com/apex/up which also has a nice local dev experience.

  Project mention: Getting Started with Faasd | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-11-20

  I'm the original creator of faasd, and just found this post on the Internet. What I liked was how he discovered faasd and found some unique value in it.

  I wanted to share it all with a broader audience here. His bootstrap is a little bit convoluted, if you check out GitHub, we have a simple installer script and an eBook as a reference manual.

  Project mention: A very simple uptime monitor written with go | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-04-21

  Future plans I have is for these workers to actually run chromedp (https://github.com/chromedp/chromedp) or something similar to generate a har file. Currently the har file can't be generated with chromedp but you could use a proxy like martian (https://github.com/google/martian) maybe to generate this. Then you could results like https://tools.pingdom.com/ (the tool seems not to show each file request for me anymore) for every uptime check and keep stats for this. You are not only testing the uptime then but also the full load time of the page along with checking for other potential problems.
