The subject here is Digital Ocean. Yes, I get spam from seemingly all providers. However, AWS takes action and DO does not. DO will simply pass my complaint on to the spammer and my problem becomes worse. I've setup a rule to simply drop mail from DO IP addresses, no legit mail ever comes from DO. Sending a spam complaint to DO will do nothing more than verify to spammers that you are a good target. If DO wants a bet…

Shrug. So anyway, since most of us use 3rd party services to send emails, using DO is perfectly fine. Whatever. (And if the extra profit they get from hosting spammers results in slightly lower prices for me then I'm glad to profit. It's about sending spam, not firing missiles or dropping bombs. Again, whatever.)

Its fine if you want to watch the world burn for your own benefit. Not all of us do care to see that.

You should take a look at Verizon's 2022 Data Breach Investigation Report. https://www.verizon.com/business/resources/reports/dbir/2022...

https://www.verizon.com/business/resources/reports/dbir/2022...

"82% of breaches involved a human element"

"66% of breaches involved Phishing, Stolen credentials and/or Ransomware."

So glad to hear that you want to support Business Email Compromise. https://www.fbi.gov/scams-and-safety/common-scams-and-crimes...

We'll see how much you shrug when it happens to you.

What is the underlying software used for DO functions? OpenFaas? Firecracker? gvisor? something custom to DO?

The foundation is Apache OpenWhisk https://github.com/apache/openwhisk with DO specific customization to work with App Platform, managed databases, trusted sources, log shipping, and other DO specific capabilities. The closest programming model is AWS Lambda in terms of the semantics and execution model.

Any plans for supporting ruby as well? It seems that there is an OpenWhisk runtime for that.

Waiting for a standardized approach to serverless that lets us just write the code once and deploy to _any_ cloud provider. Right now, all of these products (aws, azure, do, etc) seem to have, at least, slight differences that would make it not possible to switch to another provider without some code changes.

It’s been around for years https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers

first time i've seen this. thanks!
