Do you guys plan to add an offering for a distributed database that we could match with this compute? That way we could build entire application on edge without buying into the FaaS movement.
- michaeldwan 7y agoThat's something we're certainly thinking about, but we need to get compute right first!
- jedberg 7y ago> That way we could build entire application on edge without buying into the FaaS movement So you want to be able to upload your code and have someone manage the infrastructure and datastore. Isn't that the definition of FaaS?
- michaeldwan 7y agoPartially, and there's plenty of hosts that offer it. We're trying to make things like full stack Rails monoliths at the edge possible.
- Sytten 7y agoMy definition of FaaS is each controller living its own life and deployed independently behind an api gateway. This is a PaaS because only the infrastructure is managed and I can deploy my whole application in one docker image.
- mrkurt 7y agoThat’s a pretty good definition of FaaS.
- mrkurt 7y agoThat sounds like the definition of “utopia” to me.
