• The 2024 Web Hosting Report

  Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a term that captures tools built for developers to use where they don’t need devops engineers to deploy to the cloud.

• Rapid growth, lessons learned and improvements at Fly.io

  I'm a co-founder at Northflank. This is what we've spent 3+ years building. https://northflank.com. I am sympathetic with much of Kurt's post. We spent a long time building solutions to several of the areas highlighted (managed PG, persistent volumes, secret management and service discovery). Making radical changes to architecture on a live cloud platform is always a challenge. On the front-end Northflank is a... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
