Lunatic seems very enticing to me. I remembered it, but not its name, when I read the intro to this blog post and my question was going to be if you’d tried it and what you thought of it but then a couple of paragraphs further into the blog post I learned that you are the author of Lunatic :P
But instead I would like to ask about the future of Lunatic. What is you vision for it? Like, is it a hobby project that you are doing for fun or is it an endeavor that you intend for to be powering big systems in production?
Furthermore, how will you fund the development of Lunatic? And where will other contributors come from? Will they be people scratching their own itches only or will you hire people to work on it with a common roadmap?
- bkolobara 6y agoI started working on Lunatic around a year ago in my free time. Until now I just wanted to see if it was even technically possible to build such a system. Now that I have the foundation in place and you can build some "demo" apps, like a a tcp server, I'm starting to explore options for funding. From this point on I think that the progress is going to be much faster, especially if others find it useful enough to contribute to it.
- mwcampbell 6y agoHere's a possible funding idea: See if you can get one of the big cloud providers or CDNs to notice the project, so they can hire you to build something that goes head to head with Cloudflare Workers.
