   The best cloud platform out there

   You could say a lot of things about AWS, but among the cloud platforms (and I've used quite a few) AWS takes the cake. It is logically structured, you can get through its documentation relatively easily, you have a great variety of tools and services to choose from [from AWS itself and from third-party developers in their marketplace]. There is a learning curve, there is quite a lot of it, but it is still way easier than some other platforms. I've used and abused AWS and EC2 specifically and for me it is the best.

   👍 Pros:    Great documentation|Website structure visualization|You have control over everything|Flexibility

   👎 Cons:    Learning curve|A lot of dashboards for different things

• Spark/xtra issues

  Also, if you're also trying to use Xtra email in Microsoft Outlook, also expect problems. Outlook is also crap. There are other email application options. Em Client (emclient.com) is an excellent alternative to Outlook. Source: almost 3 years ago

• What's the biggest missing piece of the puzzle in the self-hosted universe?

  Totally agree on the security risk. On the other hand setting up, maintaining and explaining PGP for non-technical users usually leads to not using encryption at all, which is by far less secure than a self-managed PGP gateway on a private mail server setup. I'm aware of the few UX friendly implementations like eM client or pEp, but even those are for most not easy or "automatic" to use. (especially without good... Source: over 4 years ago

• Postgres rewritten in Rust, now passing 100% of the Postgres regression tests

  > but it's still a singleton instance, so where do you run it? Most hardware doesn't give you enough uptime for what you need here, because what you actually needed was a re-architecture for distribution / failover / whatever, and while you could ask your LLM to do that you aren't going to run your bank on the result. If only we had a way to solve these issues with tools capable of running Rust programs in that... - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

• My Experience Moving from AWS to Sevalla

  Not because infrastructure isn't important. It is. Not because Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a bad platform. It isn't. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• How to Use Pre-Signed S3 URLs for Direct Browser-to-Storage Uploads

  The AWS S3 documentation covers all of these in detail. The configuration takes about an hour to get right the first time and rarely needs changes after. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Why Your File Upload Endpoint Times Out at 4GB

  The first pattern is direct-to-storage. The client uploads chunks directly to an object storage service like Amazon S3 using pre-signed URLs. The application server creates the upload session and grants permission but never sees the file bytes. This pattern scales well because the application servers do not handle the upload bandwidth. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• 7 Free Tools for Managing Secrets and Environment Variables in Web Projects

  AWS Secrets Manager provides managed secrets storage with automatic rotation for RDS databases, Redshift clusters, DocumentDB, and other common services. For applications running on AWS infrastructure, Secrets Manager integrates directly with Lambda, ECS, EKS, and EC2 at the platform level, injecting secrets into the application environment without requiring files on disk or manual retrieval code. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
