• AWS ECS vs Sliplane

  Amazon's Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Sliplane both simplify deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications. However, there are some key differences, and both platforms serve different users and use cases. Let's compare them side by side. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Top 8 Docker Alternatives to Consider in 2025

  AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) provide managed container orchestration platforms integrated with AWS infrastructure. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Day 3: What is Docker and why should I care?

  Most cloud platforms support Docker containers. Sliplane, Fly.io, AWS, Google Cloud, etc. This means that you can easily switch between cloud providers if you want to, without having to change your software. If you ever migrated from one cloud provider to another, you probably know how much work this can be. With Docker, you can just take your container image and run it on the new platform. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• The New Dev's Guide to Externalizing App Config

  In containerized environments like Kubernetes or Amazon ECS, configuration is often injected as environment variables or mounted as files. Your app starts up with fresh values every time—no rebuilds needed. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Large-scale Data Processing with Step Functions : AWS Project

  The workers in this example are containers, running in Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) with an Amazon Fargate Capacity Provider . Though the workers could potentially run almost anywhere so long as they had access to poll the Step Functions Activity and report SUCCESS/FAILURE back to Step Functions. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Run your GitHub Actions locally

  - `flox activate` -> get to work The reason we call these "environments" instead of "developer environments" is that what we provide is a generalization of developer environments, so they're useful in more than just local development contexts. For example, you can use Flox to replace Homebrew by creating a "default" environment in your home directory [2]. You can also bundle an environment up into a container [3]... - Source: Hacker News / 21 days ago

• Dagger Shell: Unix Pipeline Pattern for Typed API Objects

  Is the objective to get inside a container to do dev stuff? Reminds me of https://www.jetify.com/devbox and https://flox.dev/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Go 1.24's go tool is one of the best additions to the ecosystem in years

  I think it's a bad addition since it pushes people towards a worse solution to a common problem. Using "go tool" forces you to have a bunch of dependencies in your go.mod that can conflict with your software's real dependency requirements, when there's zero reason those matter. You shouldn't have to care if one of your developer tools depends on a different version of a library than you. It makes it so the tools... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Nix – Death by a Thousand Cuts

  I think that's a bit reductive, but I get the intent. A lot of people see systemic problems in their development and turn to tools to reduce the cognitive load, busywork, or just otherwise automate a solution. For example "we always argue over formatting" -> use an automated formatter. That makes total sense as long as managing/interacting with the tool is less work, not just different work. With Nix I still think... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• UV has a killer feature you should know about

  Try flox [0]. It's an imperative frontend for Nix that I've been using. I don't know how to use nix-shell/flakes or whatever it is they do now, but flox makes it easy to just install stuff. [0]: https://flox.dev/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
