Whenever I read posts like this with millions of requests per small time unit, fighting over dollars. I realize I work in a completely different realm. I have barely 60 concurrent users but these users are paying top dollar for the privilege. Can't you make the revenue per request higher so this becomes a none issue ?

I'm not sure how your comment is relevant here. I'm happy for you though. No I cannot charge money as my services are free.

Going by your bio one could think this is business oriented. Sorry if I missed the mark. Anyway, I doubt anyone is going to run the numbers for you. I would give this a real life test, even if it was just simulated traffic. Hetzner has been a huge cost saving for me.

This reads like a very honest reflection and gives back some eroded trust in Vercel.

Even though I use systemd to manage my primary node app, I started to use pm2 for new projects. It was just easier, better monitoring, cluster option, many easy to configure restart options. I don't think the article makes a good enough case to not use pm2.

Being GPT compatible seems to be another major selling point.

I would love to read the full story on this.

If it doesn’t end up with an itemised bill of $1 to turn off a stopcock and $999 to know where it is, I’d be disappointed.

I've been playing with Remix.js a bit and come to similar conclusions. I'm not exited to go all in on route actions. I found myself using socket.io with TS interfaces to define the API. I guess pretty similar to how trpc works albeit with a bit more boilerplate. Currently looking into Vike (vite-plugin-ssr) to cut down on meta dependencies.

Maybe on my end. It doesn't happen in incognito.

Same happens to me!

Samsung doesn't allow security updates while roaming (requires wifi). Another artificial restriction without much consideration for longer term travelers.

I'm getting flooded with your backend template posts. I get posting something two times or so, but this is getting out of hand.

Are you interested in knowing how I did it? Next in the newsletter I will publish a post about it, I made a system that uses Puppeteer to mount a headless browser and a frontend deployed on netlify, I publish everything to a database and automatically generate new posts on HackerNews leveraging ChatGPT

You can find me on https://implementing.substack.com ;)

Or use something more bare metal and go for a query builder like Kysely.
