We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
I wanted neither, so I built render-useful-mcp: an MCP server for Render where every API tool is generated from Render's own OpenAPI document. All 207 endpoints, no curation. - Source: dev.to / 13 days ago
Render offers a free web service tier for Node applications, with 512 MB of memory and 0.1 CPU, that spins down after 15 minutes of inactivity and cold-starts on the next request. Deploys are Git-driven, native runtimes handle most Node versions without a Dockerfile, one-click rollback works on all tiers, and preview environments are available with their own resource billing. - Source: dev.to / 28 days ago
Render is the closest structural match to Heroku on this list. It's built around web services, background workers, static sites, cron jobs, and managed Postgres and Redis, which maps almost one-to-one onto a Procfile plus Heroku add-ons. Buildpack-style auto-detection handles most language runtimes without a Dockerfile, and preview environments and one-click rollback exist out of the box. - Source: dev.to / 29 days ago
The other limitation is compute. Vercel Functions can handle APIs, server-rendered routes, streaming, and other request-driven tasks, and the current function limits are far more generous. But if your application requires a continuously running background process or custom Docker containers, Vercel isn't the right fit. There are platforms like Render or Northflank that are built for that kind of workload. Vercel... - Source: dev.to / 29 days ago
A host: A host is really just a computer that stays powered on and connected to the internet with a public address of its own. When a visitor types in the app's address, their browser sends a request across the internet to that machine, the machine runs the code, and it sends the finished page back. A laptop was quietly doing both jobs during the build, the server and the only visitor allowed in; a host is that... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
I once read a paper about Apache/Meta Thrift [1,2]. It allows you to define data types/interfaces in a definition file and generate code for many programming languages. It was specifically designed for RPCs and microservices. [1]: https://thrift.apache.org/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
While gRPC and Apache Thrift have served the microservice architecture well, CloudWeGo's advanced features and performance metrics set it apart as a promising open source solution for the future. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
Services in general communicate via Thrift (and in some cases HTTP). Source: over 3 years ago
Protocol Buffers is the most popular one, but there are many others such as Apache Thrift and my own Typical. Source: over 3 years ago
RPC is not strictly OO, but you can think of RPC calls like method calls. In general it will reflect your interface design and doesn't have to be top-down, although a good project usually will look that way. A good contrast to REST where you use POST/PUT/GET/DELETE pattern on resources where as a procedure call could be a lot more flexible and potentially lighter weight. Think of it like defining methods in code... Source: over 3 years ago
