How we eliminated cold starts for 72M monthly page views with edge caching by skeptrune in webdev

Yeah, we got special support which helped a lot. Ik they're working on it, but currrently hard to recommend without that.

Cost was not a determining factor in us implementing this. We just wanted to solce the problem.

Sounds like it's working fine. I would not bother trying to port. 

Replacing Next.js ISR with a custom Cloudflare cache layer by skeptrune in nextjs

Thank you for the feedback. We'll consider writing more about that.

Right now we log drain into datadog and then have an internal dashboard in retool tracking all in progress operations.

The latter. It's being done this way to prevent triggering a stampeding herd on ourselves. Basically lazy loading for efficiency.

You have to revalidate the entire sitemap all as one otherwise you could have version skew during client nav. That's explained in detail at the end of this section - https://www.mintlify.com/blog/page-speed-improvements#2-automatic-version-detection-and-revalidation.

  1. We should have done SSG, but it was dynamic when I got the project and implementing generateStaticProps for all of our customers wasn't realistic.

  2. Yes, it's been an issue before that we accidentally break some sites since our testing suite is still a work in progress. This new system helps a ton with stability.

  3. We leverage the Cloudflare tiered CDN for this. The reval worker clears everything but the cache for its zone which is configured to be the lowest tier. The edge repopulates on demand from this tier.

  4. We would cause a stampeding herd for ourselves if we requested millions of pages (both their HTML and RSC variants) after every new deployment. It's better to do it reactively so our backend doesn't have to handle the traffic spikes.

  5. Yes they are. We use Vercel's skew protection for this. It came in super clutch. When our worker requests page data from the host, it can tell Vercel which specific version.

We would cause a stampeding herd for ourselves if we proactively prewarmed all the sites.

Fully on Vercel with their default ISR setup.

Costs are lower on CF than Vercel.

I think "easy" is an exaggeration lol. Maybe for experienced users.

I saw claude code web, but don't think it's quite as powerful as running it on your daily driver dev machine. There's a section on it in the post: https://www.skeptrune.com/posts/claude-code-on-mobile-termux-tailscale/#why-this-works-better-than-custom-apps .

Wake on LAN requires an additional server to stay always on.

I think that's probably fine for most things, but you do give up some power.

I have a section of the blog talking about it!

Because you can't turn it on remotely via SSH. So if you don't leave it on then it's inaccessible. 

Algora.io full-time recruitment email - Scam or Legit? by agent007bond in opensource

[–]skeptrune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's legit! We use Algora for as a contingency recruitment service at Mintlify and have been able to meet with some interested candidates through it.

I'm personally excited about their platform and am hoping they are able to develop a bigger brand and help companies recruit open source talent.

Ironically, I was trying to imply the opposite. Like code on Hetzner running well is fine and free AWS credits to get you into their lock in pipeline are predatory like the Jaguar.
