  Project mention: Why we moved from Lambda to ECS | reddit.com/r/devops | 2021-04-20

  OpenFaaS isn't something I was previous familiar with. Thanks for linking it! In your experience, does it come with much management overhead? Part of what makes Lambda/ECS so appealing is that you can throw a definition (code .zip file or container image) at AWS, and it just runs. With OpenFaaS, it looks like you need to maintain some additional infrastructure (a Kubernetes cluster) to get it working, and that'd give you one more thing to worry about.

  I'm leaning towards just paying for heroku, because it's managed.

• rack

  1 1,832 6.1 Go

  Private PaaS built on native AWS services for maximum privacy and minimum upkeep (by convox)

  

  Project mention: RIP Flynn.io | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-02-28

  Yes, I'm a huge fan of Convox [1]. One thing that don't make very clear is that the "Convox Pro" hosted console is optional, and convox/rack [2] is completely free and open source.

  I'm sad to see that Convox still isn't getting the recognition it deserves, because it really is like having Heroku in your own AWS account.
