• libaws

  57 440 7.9 Go

  aws should be easy

cool transition and fun writeup!

for low, intermittent traffic sites, go on lambda might be a better comparison:

• free-for-dev

  111 83,859 9.5 HTML

  A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev

Right now the most generous free tier is from Oracle (24GB RAM machines feels unreal). But you can find other free tier offerings here: https://github.com/ripienaar/free-for-dev

• WorkOS

• env

  11 4,356 7.1 Go

One could consider using https://github.com/caarlos0/env instead of the hand-woven

• wundergraph

  108 2,159 9.3 TypeScript

  WunderGraph is a Backend for Frontend Framework to optimize frontend, fullstack and backend developer workflows through API Composition.

  

If you like the model of fly, but want a simpler abstraction on top, have a look at WunderGraph Cloud. Connect a GitHub repository in a few clicks and we automate deployments, analytics, etc. so what's left for you is to implement an API using TypeScript. On deployment, we even generate a Postman collection, so you can easily share your API.

One thing to point out is that we're leveraging fly Machines for deployment, with a proxy in front. This allows us to "hibernate" your API. This way, we can provide a "serverfull" deployment priced like Serverless.

We're currently in beta, I'd love to get feedback! Here's a link, scroll all the way down and you can start for free with a template: https://wundergraph.com/

• go-example

  1 40 0.0 Go

  A minimal Go application for tutorials

  

I get up to 20secs of downtime when redeploying on railway... I was using the sample golang repo from fly : https://github.com/fly-apps/go-example

That's just unacceptible imo.
