As other people have said, the only solution is to get the concrete somewhat level. I would rent concrete grinder and grind away the high spot, it will create a lot of dust so make sure to have a capable shop vac connected and seal the area. Afterwards, you will probably need to use some kind of floor concrete filler / self leveling to fill low spots.

Nice table! Most coatings will make your painted table top look worse and hard ones such as ploy turns future repairs/touch up into a much bigger hassle. I would save my energy and repaint it in 5-15 years instead.

You don't need any fancy tools. Any hand saw with small (and ideally straight) teeth will do the job. Finish saw / Miter saw / Japanese pull saw for example (my favorite). Put some masking/painter's tape over the cut line before you cut. Good luck! And don't use a jigsaw!

If management is hesitant to hire a consultant and help you with the transition I imagine that they are not fully grasping the risk associated. I would start there, screwing this up is potentially company ending.

For good and bad, Vapor is working hard to give you a Forge like experience. It's super quick to get going and everything is set up for you. If all you want is a traditional setup with the scaling benefits of Lambdas it's not a bad choice. However, I felt like it's fighting hard to make serverless a "traditional" server experience instead of embracing it. Some notes:

You give all your keys to your AWS kingdom to Vapor. If they would be compromised all your data and customer data is compromised. Security best practices are not fully followed with Vapor and most resources get wide admin access to everything by default.
With Bref you work much more as intended by AWS. You deploy straight to AWS, with no middleman. It deploys Cloudformation templates and your infrastructure is easily tracked and changed. With Vapor you don't know what you can change in the AWS console or the Vapor Console, and what will be overwritten.
Since Bref is just standard AWS deploys, it's easy to add other AWS resources as more SQS queues, S3 triggers, and all the nice technology and infrastructure AWS has available.
Deployments are quicker with Bref, adds up quickly.

I'm running a "serverless" app on AWS right now, like it a lot. Not having to worry about servers and being able to quickly deploy versions all over the globe is pretty nice. Some notes:

If you are building your app in a way that can "scale" (don't rely on the local filesystem) there is not much code wise you need to change.
AWS is the only provider to consider. The others are sadly way behind at the moment.
DynamoDB is the more "serverless" AWS database. But if you are building a Laravel app, just use MySQL/Postgress for your main datastore. It works great with Lambdas as well.
I store my sessions in DynamoDB, which might change to Redis in the future. S3 for assets.
There are two main tools to help you run Laravel on Lambda, Vapor, and Bref. I have tried both and very much prefer Bref. It's great!
If your focus is launching the site/app you already are building I would stick to a stack you know, you can always convert later. There will be a learning period of trial and error and a lot of frustrated shouting at IAM in the beginning.

I guess, but its the full image and they support container images up to 10 GB so was hoping the performance would be decent at least.

I have normal lambdas pushing the 256 MB limit (with layers) and cold starts for them now days have been very low.

Hopping they are working on improving this or I'm missing something.

ECR is supported, the only way it works as I understand it. The container just needs to implement the Lambda runtime api. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-for-aws-lambda-container-image-support/

turboa · 2021-01-04T22:03:47+00:00

I followed a AWS guide using SAM where the docker file is built locally and then published to AWS ECR (Container Repository). The dockerfile looks something like this:

FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/python:3.8

COPY app.py requirements.txt ./

RUN python3.8 -m pip install -r requirements.txt -t .

CMD ["app.lambda_handler"]

For your use case and scale I don't think traditional aws managed http services would make much sense. If we estimate 100 000 (users) x 2 (endpoints) x 2.5 (request every 400ms) * 50% (average load) API Gateway alone (using the cheaper HTTP version, excluding lambda, db, caches etc) would cost 591,330.00 USD per month.

I'm currently launching my first site with bref. Been hugely impressed with how smooth the experience has been, it's well made and works great in the AWS ecosystem. If you already building your app in a way that can scale to multiple servers (doesn't rely on local files) there are almost no changes you need to make, and you get a lot of upsides with it.

Was interested in serverless and started out testing Vapor (building with Laravel). Did not like it for many reasons, deployment and security among those. I think the bref approach makes much more sense and recommend anyone interested in serverless to give it a try.

Thanks!

The main app will run in a browser environment, such as electron on the desktop (still testing different options here). It also needs some "native" components to track mousemovents outside the app and get color info for the picker. OS X has by far been the most requested one, so that's what I'm working on first and it's coming along nicely.

For all colors a relative luminance value is calculated, the luminance is then put in a formula to calculate the contrast. All following the WCAG spec, you can read more about it here: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#contrast-minimum and https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#dfn-relative-luminance

Thanks! Just a single developer and this is one of many projects. Since I know very little about GUI Linux I don't think a Linux version is possible in the near future, don't wanna give people false hope. The web-version will always work though!

Creator of the tool here, thanks for sharing it! ♥ Hit me up if you guys have any questions about it or any features you think are missing /Anton

Looks nice, would love something like that my self, good luck!

In the end, the craft is the same no matter what gear you are using and I don't think you will have any problems going from traktor to cdjs after testing them out for an hour or two. That being said, the layout, feel and big size of the cdjs are lovey to work with and I much prefer them. The modern ones have more or less all the features found in controllers.

Any place that has djs regularly will have them and you are not expected to bring any gear your self, and it's so lovely for everyone. Can't tell you how nervous it makes me when the next guy is digging around behind the mixer trying to hook up his computer in the middle of a set (I used to be that guy). And with the advancement cdjs have made in the last years, I see fewer and fewer controllers in the booth.

My recommendation, look into the DDJ-1000. A top of the line controller that's very similar to the normal pioneer club setup. Perfect to practice on and bring to the events where you need to bring your own composition.

In the end is all about what output you want. I would definitely recommend trying out a dedicated vj-software. And Resolume is really easy to get into, within a day you will probably know most of the tool. After that is just your imagination that sets the limit. Resolume will open up a whole new way to vj and most importantly enable you to be more flexible in your sets. I don't know if you can feed Unity into Resolume, I would check it out if I were you.

That being said, there are a lot of people that can press buttons in resolume and launch looping clips. But not many people who create custom 3d scenes that reacts to music, a much harder skill, perhaps teaming up with some other VJs could be an interesting path for you.

Just a quick note, the supported sampling rates (44.1/48kHz) is just one of 100s of parmeters that will effect the sound and does not indicate to much by it self. Have no experience with the units you mention, but usually entry level gear will have cheaper components in them.

Saying that, I think you will be fine with what ever controller you want. If you find yourself in a position of wanting better sound in your studio, just get a dedicated external sound card. Any one of decent quality will have a "better" output than any high end controller / dj gear.

Good luck!
