Now you need to batch your requests to your intermediate server

You can talk to support about missing the notification about your reservation and they'll still let you put in an order.

Fair, but its still a real issue and solved in a similar way: Nix has finer grained reproducibility -- not only at the environment level but also at the derivation level. Being abl…

For context, I'm referencing our (legacy) base image for projects on Replit: Polygott ( https://github.com/replit/polygott/ ). The image contains dependencies needed for 50+ langua…

What happens when you need to update some dependency within that image? Now you have to do an image rebuild. If you're lucky only the top-most layers will be rebuilt and the base l…

Author here. It's titled this way because Docker seems to come up in a lot of discussions around Nix and is often compared with Nix. Partly because of their overlap in functionalit…

Author here. In our case, we had a large base Docker image called Polygott ( https://github.com/replit/polygott ) it pulls in dependencies for 50+ different languages from various …

Author here. As with most things, its all about the trade-offs. Docker has certainly proved itself and that approach has worked on a massive scale. However, its not a silver bullet…

While you can copy files from different stages, I wouldn't consider this to be the same thing as composing two base images together. Like the example in the post, you can't take th…

It was more of a silly demonstration showing what's possible and less about being practical. :)

Yeah, we are really excited about the future Nix will bring for us at Replit. Soon, language version incompatibility will be a thing of the past on Replit.

Yup, you can setup Haskell with Nix. I'm not too familiar with Haskell, but it looks like Nix even has a collection of Haskell packages (including lens). This looks like it is a go…

Sorry, building nix environments from scratch is still rough around the edges and we are working to improve that at the moment. When hosting a web server, your app must listen on 0…

This is coming soon!

The config files should be visible again, sorry for the delay!

Here's a template for Racket: https://replit.com/@ConnorBrewster/racket
