• Looking for savable graphing methods

  First thought, play with MIT App Inventor https://appinventor.mit.edu/, they have dedicated blocks for graphing and cross-platform implementations of Bluetooth for Android and iOS. The data format is still up to you. Source: about 1 year ago

• App for recording time periods

  Or you could go to https://appinventor.mit.edu/ and design your own custom app (no widget, though). Source: about 1 year ago

• Easiest code to learn to make an app?

  If you want to make a mobile app you could try https://appinventor.mit.edu/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Trying to have a Ubuntu server I can turn on from my phone, log in as user, and start the Docker containers for my server. How do I automate this process?

  Maybe a raspberry pi that's on 24/7 connected to wifi and use that to send the wake over lan signal to the server? Arduino on the power pins also works, I did something quite similar but with a Bluetooth board, the code was really simple I just made an Android app with MIT app inventor that sent a signal to the hc_05 bt board, once the Arduino received that signal it shorted the power pin to 5v for half a second...

• Am searching for a partner who can help me with an app idea

  If your idea isn't complicated, have a look at MIT App Inventor. It literally is, drag-and-drop. That should get you started. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is Serverless Architecture Right For You?

  The first reason is that serverless architectures are inherently scalable and elastic. They automatically scale up or down based on the incoming workload without requiring manual intervention through serverless compute services like AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, or Google Cloud Functions. - Source: dev.to / 16 days ago

• A Brief History Of Serverless

  The FaaS platform gained a lot of popularity which resulted in many competitors. There was OSS providers like OpenFaaS or Fission. There were of course the commercial versions to like Azure Functions and Google Cloud Functions. - Source: dev.to / 24 days ago

• Increasing Your Cloud Function Development Velocity Using Dynamically Loading Python Classes

  One of the issues developers can encounter when developing in Cloud Functions is the time taken to deploy changes. You can help reduce this time by dynamically loading some of your Python classes. This allows you to make iterative changes to just the area of your application that you’re working on. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Need some advice on API key storage

  I've been looking at Google Secret Manager which sounds promising but I've not been able to find any examples or tutorials that help with the actual practical details of best practice or getting this working. I'm currently reading about Cloud Functions which also sound promising but again, I'm just going deeper and deeper into GCP without feeling like I'm gaining any useful insights. Source: 8 months ago

• Golden Ticket To Explore Google Cloud

  Serverless computing was also introduced, where the developers focus on their code instead of server configuration.Google offers serverless technologies that include Cloud Functions and Cloud Run.Cloud Functions manages event-driven code and offers a pay-as-you-go service, while Cloud Run allows clients to deploy their containerized microservice applications in a managed environment. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
