It looks like Ruby on Jets makes you 100% dependent on 1 company: AWS/Amazon; not an evolution I'd welcome.
edit Yea the github activity is still pretty concerning. But Rails seems to be having a little bit of a renaissance so maybe it will pick up here also.
Has anyone investigated what latency is like? Looks amazing for a low cost deployment, but I’d guess there could be significant startup latency for each controller.
"Like Rails but serverless ", I wonder what's their definition of servers? As far as I understand it relies on .. AWS servers!
"Serverless" means that the developer doesn't need to think about the servers, and can interact with higher level abstractions on top of the physical servers to deploy their services.

Is that like, weird? How many companies are realistically hosting their compute/data across multiple providers for the sake of diversifying that risk? Certainly some, but a tiny minority right?
It's an unhealthy situation to be fully dependent on 1 single provider. It creates monopolies (instead of diversity and choice) which means less freedom, and/or more corruption and unhealthy conditions for all involved.

I also think it’s generally a good business practice to keep the number of companies you depend upon as small as possible. Only being able to deploy to one cloud provider is like only having one customer. It can work, but it is risky.
I used Ruby on Jets for a small project a while ago. It worked really well, however I got the impression that the project was somewhat stalled and maybe losing support.

We should have buried Ruby along with Flash a while ago. It is not part of the future anymore (thankfully).
