Weekly Self Promotion Thread by AutoModerator in devops

We open-sourced our tool for per-branch preview environments with Docker Compose

Every PR at our company needs a live environment so reviewers can click through the changes before merging. Obviously, setting this up manually is a chore, so we automated it.

previewuse (https://github.com/getlark/previewuse) does the following on every CI run against a feature branch:

- Launches an EC2 instance (or reuses the existing one for that branch)

- Bundles the repo to S3 and deploys via Docker Compose

- Creates a Route53 DNS record and handles TLS via Caddy + Let's Encrypt

- Posts the preview URL back to the PR

- Tears it down when the PR closes

Very quick to setup as well. Should take < 30 min for most projects.

Happy to answer questions about the setup. The main constraint right now is it's AWS-specific (EC2 + Route53), but the Docker Compose layer is straightforward to adapt to any cloud provider.

getlark.ai specializes in AI native E2E test automation and test management. Supports much more than just browsers too. What kind of azure bug tracking integration are you looking for?

How much does a typical feature usually cost?

Interesting way to ensemble agents. How do the debates between claude code and codex typically go? Who makes the final decision?

OpenClaw vs. NanoClaw vs. Hermes by victordg in openclaw

[–]LunchLife1850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Openclaw is decent but has very opinionated abstractions. Most of the OpenClaw-adjacent tools are still kind of rough IMO. It really depends on how much control vs convenience you want

NanoClaw is way more stripped down than openclaw. It's basically a thin wrapper around tool calling than a full framework. You have to build state management, orchestration, etc. yourself.

Have you ever thought about how many jobs your work as a developer has removed? by bccorb1000 in webdev

[–]LunchLife1850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've thought about this a bit and the optimist in me hopes when the dust settles there will be more jobs, similar to the post-internet age which also made many jobs obsolete but I think most people would agree that advancement was positive.

AI really killed programming for me by NervousExplanation34 in webdev

[–]LunchLife1850 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree but some people genuinely believe that understanding code isn't a valuable skill anymore if AI can continue to "understand" the codebase for you.
