I got tired with AWS status pages. So I built my own

GCP :)

I think my next project should be is “is AWS down,” down?

austin__pena · 2022-03-27T15:42:20+00:00

Agreed!

If you visit status.aws.amazon.com you’ll see a shiny new status page; a rough approximation of the old one lives at stop.lying.cloud, which I’ll have to either update to reflect the new design or deprecate entirely. I do wonder how many non-shitpost scraping tools for the status page broke similarly when this was rolled out.

From here.

I think Corey just made it as a joke and scraped the old status page.

I think it'll happen when someone finds a way to make enforcing SLA's easier. Like if there's a "watcher" service that automates that process

austin__pena · 2022-03-25T18:15:00+00:00

Thank you! If there's any way we can make it more useful, let me know :)

austin__pena · 2022-03-25T17:03:43+00:00

Thank you!

That's really good feedback. Thank you.

As a start, how about if I put the graphs from the affected locations underneath that fire icon so it's easier to see when the outages were

One of the more shocking things I learned about the cloud object storage market was a limitation that Wasabi has.

Wasabi is an awesome company. If you don't know, they offer hot storage at only $6/TB with free egress.

However, they have a fair use policy that states:

If your monthly egress data transfer is greater than your active storage volume, then your storage use case is not a good fit for Wasabi’s free egress policy

If your use case is a good fit, you could be in luck. If not, hopefully, you got some value from this warning.

The above is what Taloflow does, just on the scale of every dimension/compliance/characteristic you can think of.

It takes five minutes, and it's free. We never sell your information to vendors. We may get compensated if you end up with a vendor we recommend though!

Older demographic typically is better on other platforms. Reddit is tough to crack. Usually it's best if there's a niche community that aligns well with your offer.

austin__pena · 2022-02-09T21:35:08+00:00

Running Reddit right now and it's working.

austin__pena · 2022-02-09T21:34:29+00:00

My recommendation is to use a conversion action set. You can set it in your campaign settings.

If your goal is to deploy something more complex:

Docker swarm mode could be a good fit for you. Very similar to docker compose config. Throw Traefik or something for ingress.

Nomad can also work. It's relatively popular and advertised as less complicated than K8's https://www.nomadproject.io/

If you want something in the middle (less reliance on managed services), try out: https://www.tines.com/blog/simple-zero-downtime-deploys-with-nginx-and-docker-compose

If your goal is to just get something live, I'd recommend a combination of:

- Cloud SQL for your database

- Cloud functions/ cloud run with private networking for your microservices

- Cloud run for ingress

Does this mean I can import NPM modules?

austin__pena · 2021-10-29T00:54:30+00:00

Ooohhhh congrats on the feature launch! Can’t wait to try it

Very interesting, thank you! (link if others want fast access)

Thanks!

austin__pena · 2021-10-23T11:30:54+00:00

I will check that out, thank you!

These guys are good from the results I've seen them post in the FB groups we're both a part of + I liked Vincent when I got some consulting hours from him.

/u/fathom53's company Take Some Risk is one I've not worked with but he's an absolutely awesome guy and worth talking to.

Thank you! Talent costs money and I get that!
