I had a comment system (staticman) on heroku, I moved to fly.io and the import (build by fly.io) was done in some minutes, adjusting my blog and ready to go. All in all 15 min.

Oh good call. I was trying to figure out what to do with my two staticman apps that I have on heroku. And I wanted to try fly.io! Edit: though I don't want to pay for staticman stuff. Are you running them for free?

Update: I moved mine to fly.io using the heroku migrater. Took 5 mins.

As an FYI - The bash script downloads it and then runs bash on the file created on your local system, there's no way to determine if the user is downloading and piping directly into bash or if they're just downloading the file, so change the script before executing from wget -q https://get.coollabs.io/coolify/install.sh -O install.sh; sudo bash ./install.sh to wget -q https://get.coollabs.io/coolify/install.sh -O ins…

Yep. My response was specific to your comment of reading in browser which is not a guarantee of what's downloaded.

My apologizes, I interpreted it as a "yeah but they can change it so you can't trust it!!!1!" response.

I use AWS for personal stuff and it's not labyrinthine at all, I found it very simple to set a budget alert. But more important than that is of course to have a CloudFront cache infront of anything that exposes S3 storage.

I hope you don't wake up 7 hours after a budget alert because you're in the wrong timezone. Please stop justifying the huge risks AWS knowingly carries. It would be easy to place a hard cap, but they refuse to do so.

AWS gives you all the tools you need to shoot your foot off, they also give you all the tools you need to avoid this. I can easily hook up a budget alert to a pushover alert on my phone that is just as likely to wake me up as any alert duty would.

> Now they added some very very cheap plans as well which is fantastic for them Can you share a link to their new plans? The pricing listed on their old page ( https://www.heroku.com/pricing ) still showing $7/mo as their cheapest option and it's already an overkill for my applications. In comparison, the cheapest option on fly.io is $1.94/mo ( https://fly.io/docs/about/pricing/ ). Note: I know $7 is the maximum cost…

The new "cheap" plan is only two dollars less so I don't think it is an alternative for many. I will most likely move infrequently used apps to another platform.

The new “eco” dynos work the same way as free do today — they draw down a shared pool of hours across multiple apps. So you could run tens (or hundreds) of infrequently used apps for a total of $5/month. That’s in contrast to the originally-announced plan, which had Hobby as the lowest cost option which costs $7 per dyno per month, which can get expensive with lots of rarely-used apps.

Are you planning to make a disclosure regarding that statement, such as being co-founders with Quentin Adam, the founder of Clever Cloud, in other projects?

Other project meaning being contributor to open source together?

> Other project meaning being contributor to open source together?

Other project meaning actually founding that project together [1]:

> The Makers for Life collective and project were founded by three entrepreneurs in Nantes. Quentin Adam (CEO Clever Cloud), Baptiste Jamin and Valérian Saliou (Co-founders Crisp) [...]

You live in the same city. You founded a project with him. It's not like you have submitted patches to Linux from different parts of the world, without ever seeing each other.

I don't want to sound like I have something personal (I didn't even know your names until yesterday) but your assumption that the readers here on HN have no clue makes me sick.

If you know each other, that should be disclosed. I have no qualms about recommending a friend's startup, given that the friendship is disclosed.

Why Redis cloud over Google Memorystore?

We use Redis for the source of truth for some of our data. More key-value store than cache. Pros of Redis Cloud over Google Memorystore for Redis: - Five nines uptime SLA, vs three in GCP. - No sharding support in GCP, which limits scaling write throughput. - GCP persistence is limited to hourly RDB snapshots whereas Redis Cloud supports append only file (AOF). - During migration we needed to access our Redis instanc…

Great information, thanks.

Can anyone say why DB disk space is so expensive compared to just a volume? Tempted to just roll my own with these prices.

Northflank co-founder here. Addon disk pricing is the same as our volume pricing for services. The disks are SSDs. We've added a margin on-top of GCP, EC2 and Azure SSD pricing so I wouldn't say they are expensive in comparison to other providers. It's possible to configure HDD storage which is much cheaper, would be happy to enable that feature flag for you. SSD $0.30 per GB, HDD $0.15 per GB. We'll add HDD pricing…

Hi I looked at the pricing page and cannot see managed postgres is that an option or would I install it myself on an nf-compute-N?

Yes! I think this is the right approach. Using kubernetes is going to be much safer on the long term, because most software projects die and kubernetes isn't going to die soon. It is also much more used and probably a lot more stable.

Yes, exactly this is my point. I use kubernetes as a framework for infrastructure management which has all concepts I need. Here is the github link https://github.com/alhafoudh/eien I will push what I have today.

I am working on heroku/dokku-like CLI tool which manages and deploys apps to any Kubernetes cluster and abstracts all kubernetes concepts from you. Tool has simple commands like "config set KEY=VALUE" and so. I also plan to implement simple web UI. The tool requires minimum dependencies inside the kubernetes cluster and it tries to follow all best practices on kubernetes. Unfortunately the tool is not ready yet. Woul…

as an avid fan of dokku, def interested! are you able to drop a link to the repo (if it exists yet)?

Repo is here. I will push it today https://github.com/alhafoudh/eien
