• Gergely Orosz: on the risk of Google shutting down GCP

  From what I've heard, the biggest selling point of GCP is its simplicity and easier development experience. Other than that, it's mostly inferior to AWS or even MS Azure. AWS is designed to be very flexible and configurable (example: look at IAM). The tradeof is the complexity and amount of work required to set up even the most frequently used services (such as ECS Fargate or Lambda).

  Hello, you could also have a look at https://stacktape.com. (I'm a founder) .

• Ask HN: What tech is under the radar with all attention on ChatGPT etc.

  I agree with some of the points you've mentioned, but I also think that there definitely are great use-cases for AWS Lambda, and that they are (especially when using a good deployment tool) a great option for many different types of applications. The biggest problem is that the computing model, or the architecture that is commonly required for this sort of apps (event-driven and asynchronous) is hard to develop,... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
