Weird to see "folks" everywhere in the text. Why not "people"? Or "developers"? I'm sure it's not on purpose, but it made me think about Social Justice language war: https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-folks/ (I even had to switch to my anonymous HN account to post this.) I would prefer to think about this (very cool!) startup instead.

I noticed this too, I personally prefer the usage of folx

At least "folks" is a real word.

"Folx" is unquestionably the result of the language war: https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-folx/

Come out of the rabbit hole! most people are not SJW

> most people are not SJW

This is true. However, few active people are enough to poison the discussion. Examples:

* erasure of gendered language from source code comments

* "master" branch controversy

* BLM banners in numerous open source project

* Python PEP8 English controversy: https://github.com/python/peps/pull/1470/commits/89b72cf7261...

Looks great. For someone who's not taken the plunge into Serverless yet, how would the costs compare to the more traditional options of hosting an app? i.e. a Rails/React app on Heroku Of course 'it depends', but roughly speaking?

Oh I'll add, Seed is heavily influenced by Heroku. It's a little like Heroku but for Serverless.

Isn't Heroku serverless? It is a PaaS offering similar to Lambda and Google's various PaaS offerings that generally get branded as serverless.

I should clarify, when I mentioned serverless, I really meant serverless on AWS.

Broadly speaking PaaS is similar to serverless. The main thing I look for as a user is, the per millisecond billing, the ability to scale up instantly and scale all the way down to zero.

It's been a while since I touched anything serverless, but it looks like Seed supports incremental deployments, which was a major pain point when I last worked with the Serverless Framework (an open source library for deploying Lambdas, one of the first ones.) Nice job team!
