Avo for Ruby on Rails Reviews

   Seems promising

   Avo definitely seems promising and polished. What is more, it's based on all the modern tech that's included within the latest (v7 as of now) version of Rails.

   Unfortunately, its licence is bit less permissive than one would expect. I.e. you can't use it in a commercial product without buying a license. Yes, there are both FREE and Pro version; however, if you are using it on a non-personal project you need to pay for it. That's not inherently bad, as it pays for the support and improvement of the product. Yet, it could be a deterrent for many.

   Something similar to what Sidekiq is doing seems more appropriate - a FREE (free free) and an Enterprise version. Then, you can use the FREE version in any sort of a project, and if the project picks up, you can buy the enterprise version and benefit from the extra features.

   🏁 Competitors: RailsAdmin, Active Admin

   👍 Pros:    Polished design|Modern architecture|Good docs

   👎 Cons:    Licence

• Good alternatives to Heroku

  Pocketbase - Never used before but it says in their home page the following: "Open Source backend for your next SaaS and Mobile app in 1 file". Seems porwerful. - Source: dev.to / 17 days ago

• Making a free, fully-featured, infinitely scalable IaaS with predictable pricing

  Solutions like pocketbase and coolify come close to solving these problems. However, I wouldn't choose either as I fear architecture lock-in as much as vendor lock-in. Especially in the case of pocketbase, I may be forced to rewrite my application if it were to scale overnight. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Ask HN: How Can I Make My Front End React to Database Changes in Real-Time?

  Pocketbase [0] is a possibility. It offers a way to subscribe to collections, meaning the client will be notified if any of the records in that collection change. [1] Should be quite efficient too, the FAQ claims that 10k realtime connections on a small hetzner VPS is no problem [2] [0] https://pocketbase.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Show HN: Build your startup or side project faster with these SaaS templates

  Quality is often much better with these kinds of templates and frameworks, because the creators often can make better default choices. For example, Avo (https://avohq.io) and Bullet Train (https://bullettrain.co/) are IMHO both much higher quality out of the box than what a typical intermediate Rails developer could accomplish in months of full time learning and coding. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
