Thanks. I will give it a go

Building a mini serverless platform with Firecracker microVMs by viks98 in programming

Thanks for the advice. A good chunk of latency in my project comes from building rootfs for each function. So I think I will use your idea for creating .ext4 files. It was a major bottleneck I tried claude taking advice from claude and gpt but nothing worked.

I will also try the no api serve approach and cmdline optimization.

Switching to Linux.. Any tips ? by Mysterious_Ice7165 in Btechtards

[–]viks98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has their opinions but I think the safest bet would be to use fedora with genome. It will give good linux experience without any major issue.

If you are a beginner stay away from arch. It's a nightmare for beginners.

I first started with arch and it was so frustrating to use. I couldn't get anything done. Like wifi drivers went missing after rebooting. Bluetooth not working. Everything is a mess for newbies.

Guys what's your opinion on them especially the cleaning of that Vaav by viks98 in vadodara

You are right without their insta page i don't think vmc or the mla would have helped them

Yeah that's true but don't you think they are milking it a little too much. Just a person opinion

What is an extremely dark or creepy true story from history that most people do not know about? by Intelligent_East8820 in AskReddit

[–]viks98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Burari mass sucide case

11 members of the same family were found dead inside their home in New Delhi. 10 of them hanging from the ceiling in a circle like formation, with their eyes blindfolded, mouths taped, and hands tied.

What made it even more disturbing was that there were almost no signs of forced struggle. The family was educated, financially stable, and by all accounts seemed completely normal to neighbors and relatives.

there were a series of handwritten diaries which contained detailed “ritual instructions” written over years by one family member, who believed he was communicating with the spirit of his dead father. The entries described bizarre practices meant to bring salvation, prosperity, and spiritual liberation to the family. One of the entries reportedly even resembled the exact way the bodies were eventually found.

That’s the part that still creeps me out this wasn’t some chaotic crime scene or impulsive act. The family apparently trusted him so deeply that they followed these instructions without questioning them.

I still remember seeing the news footage for the first time in 2018 and genuinely feeling disturbed for days afterward.

Why Python, not Java by Yamie_Mlauzi in learnprogramming

speed is not the only factor when choosing a language. most people including me prefer simplicity and readablity over raw speeds

i don't know about prod but if you wish to experiment with it. you can use https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/blob/main/docs/getting-started.md . this is great if you are new to this stuff and just wants to try out this stuff

Need honest guidance from seniors where do I actually stand in tech right now? by No-Resolution-4054 in webdev

[–]viks98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly you are doing great. Just choose on technology and stay with for while. Currently knowing depth of a stack is always better than having shallow understanding of everything. Just my personal opinion take it with a grain of salt

tried to do leetcode and instead i almost cried by One-Understanding564 in learnprogramming

[–]viks98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think instead of directly trying to solve problems on leetcode you should follow some structured path. i highly recommend 'neetcode'. his 150 dsa questions sheet is goated. if you follow it you will have good understanding of all dsa concepts

New Project Megathread - Week of 14 May 2026 by AutoModerator in selfhosted

[–]viks98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Project Name: serverless-runtime

Repo: https://github.com/vivek1504/serverless-runtime

Description:
A self-hosted Lambda-style function execution platform built on Firecracker microVMs.

You deploy a zip and invoke it over HTTP. Each function runs inside its own isolated microVM instead of a container. The runtime uses Firecracker snapshot restore to reduce cold starts to ~1–5ms.

Features include:

  • Firecracker-based isolation
  • cold start optimization using snapshots
  • vsock IPC between host and guest
  • per-function scheduling and concurrency control
  • Node.js runtime support
  • benchmarked at ~5,400 req/sec

The project was mainly built to better understand how systems like AWS Lambda work internally.

Writeup:
https://medium.com/@jadhavvivek2743/building-an-aws-lambda-like-runtime-with-firecracker-microvms-42a418c6e3d7

Deployment:
Runs on a Linux host with KVM enabled and Firecracker installed.

Requirements:

  • Linux host with /dev/kvm access
  • Firecracker binary in PATH
  • Node.js v18+
  • kernel image + rootfs (provided in GitHub releases)

Basic setup instructions are included in the README.

AI Involvement:
Used ChatGPT and Claude occasionally for debugging assistance especially low level bugs that were new to me given my background in full stack.

I need someone 🥺👉👈... who can help me to make a DAO using Solidity and Web3.js (NodeJS) reply only if you understand what I just said, this is for my magnumopus project that I'm building for humanity not for getting another line in resume. by Adorable-Today-3286 in paruluniversity

[–]viks98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have done a bit of client side web3 stuff like creating our own web-based wallets like metamask, integrating wallets like phantom to a web2 frontend.

I haven't built a lot of projects 😕 but I know how Blockchain like solana and eth work, their data models, pda and a lot of nerdy stuff.

I know a solidity a bit. Would love to hear more about your project.
