This would be so amazing. In order to access most vanilla services like redis, postgres etc. You need to deploy a bridge https://github.com/zquestz/ws-tcp-proxy -- somewhat abandoned at this point but it is still running), and a big problem with the approach was the web's inability to make TCP connections. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

Yeah, you are right. I made https://webcode.run also for this reason (also hot code reload and debugging but for JavaScript computational notebooks). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

This was why I created https://webcode.run the elimination of all tooling and a fast development loop even for backend. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

I am building a compute layer for Observablehq which enables services to brought up using nothing other than a web browser. It's a bit too soon to call it a K8s replacement but the motivation was the complexity and laggyness of bringing up services on cloud or k8s. The WEB + on demand infrastructure is the distributed replacement of K8S https://webcode.run/ WEBCode is about eliminating environments and the... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago
