  Project mention: What Is Pulumi And How To Use It | dev.to | 2024-07-11

  The most obvious alternative to Pulumi is Terraform. But hey, keep an eye out for OpenTofu, an upcoming open-source alternative following a BSL license change. Crossplane is another alternative for those who enjoy building infrastructure using Kubernetes CRDs. Check out more details below.

  > The best optimization is simply shutting things off

  This is the way.

  A similar idea has been bouncing around in my mind for a while now. An ideal, turnkey system would do the following:

  - Execute via Lambda (serverless).

  - Support automated startup and shutdown of various AWS resources on a schedule influenced by specially formatted tags.

  - Enable resources to be brought back up out of schedule when demand dictates.

  - Operate as a TCP/HTTP proxy that can delay clients so that a given service can be started when it is dormant or, even better, the service isn't serverless but you want it to be. This can't work for everything, but perhaps enough things such that the need to run always on services is reduced.

  Cloud Custodian [1] can purportedly do some of this, but I've been reluctant to learn yet another YAML-based DSL to use it.

  So this is my "make things designed to be always-on serverless instead" project and the work AWS has done to make Java apps function on Lambda keeps me thinking about the potential to take things that 1) have a relatively long startup time and 2) are designed to be long running service loops, and find a way to force them into the serverless execution model.

• tau

  9 3,579 8.5 Go

  Open source distributed Platform as a Service (PaaS). A self-hosted Vercel / Netlify / Cloudflare alternative.

  

  Project mention: 🧑‍💻 Build Your Cloud ☁️ | dev.to | 2024-10-30

  Building your own cloud platform has many benefits, including cost savings, ownership, sovereignty, and most importantly, the ability to make your solution self-hostable. However, constructing a cloud computing platform is a long, complex, and expensive endeavor—a problem partially solved with Tau. Why only partially? Simply because, though Tau is a simple-to-deploy single binary, you still need to get that done, configure Tau, and ensure dependencies like Docker are installed. Not to mention, you have to repeat this on each host for every Tau update. If you ask me, it's not developer-friendly just yet!
