Hi guys! One of the authors here! We hope you enjoy this much loved project we are building with our tiny team. This is a love project of a team who failed at a startup. We decided to build something we love before getting back to our normal lives :) I have worked in the faas/microservices space for years before but never wanted to build something like this (I thought it was too early to explain what we are doing). Now with the advent of faas/serverless/lambda perhaps it's a bit easier. Our focus is building something that enables service reusability and composability: no more writing the same login service multiple times. We would also like to host other peoples low traffic services for free if we can (right now we can't because we are on a small server, fixing that). Thanks

  I don't agree. The project is indicating which major version of Angular it uses. The reasoning in the post you linked doesn't really apply.

  You don't have to delete your comment, it's nothing to be ashamed of. The angular versioning situation is really not that simple. And you are right, the ReadMe likely should say Angular 5 and not Angular 2.

    For some reason I am getting downvoted quite heavily for it so I thought deleting it might stop that. But apparently now it is just getting more downvotes. Oh well.

      Why do you care?

        I don't know about you but I do feel really bad when I get downvoted, especially when I don't understand why and have no way to find out.

        Isn't there a maximum of 4 downvotes?

        I wouldn't worry so much about it. This is an opinionated group, and having a different opinion is sometimes not taken well, but it is good to challenge the status quo, and good to not be part of groupthink. If you stand by what you said, take your downvotes with pride. On the other hand, claiming something that isn't true, or being flippant or not contributing to the conversation will also result in downvotes. And those are probably a good guide of how to adjust your communication style to work better within the group. I have no idea what your original comment was, so I don't know which of those scenarios is the case here.

        If the points and resultant behavior shaping really get you down, check out this stupid simple Chrome extension: https://github.com/fapjacks/antihnbs https://github.com/fapjacks/antihnbs All visible point totals become 1, and all shades of grey become black.

        Human beings are hardwired to feel an aversion to social rejection. Downvotes are anonymous social rejection at scale without the standard feedback loop that allows people to recover and save face.

I wanted to thank you for Golang support which I was missing on AWS for long. Before commenting I just did a quick Google search 'AWS Golang support' and found this (not even 24 hours old): https://aws.amazon.com/de/blogs/compute/announcing-go-support-for-aws-lambda/ https://aws.amazon.com/de/blogs/compute/announcing-go-suppor... Sounds like this HN post is a day late ;-) Nevertheless, your project looks like fun and open source solutions are always better than functional equivalent proprietary solutions.

  Haha! It was that announcement which gave me the idea to post this now in the first place. Thanks, and we agree about the proprietary bit - hopefully we as a community will have the tools to handle raw machines easily and conveniently (I think that's the biggest selling point of GC & AWS), because the amount of money wasted on GC and AWS is just insane.

Theoretically interesting but practically useless. What is the business value?
