I have no clue what this is, like everyone else, but if AWS released a Heroku-like deployment tool that scaled massively and only cost the underlying resources and a small fee, I'd use it immediately for almost all my Dokku projects. I'm waiting for a Heroku-like service from the major providers that abstracts away the deployment work, but isn't going to bust my wallet (Heroku is way too expensive for personal projects).
- weddpros 6y agodigital ocean apps may fit the bill?
- cpufry 6y agoi thought aws ligthsail or whatever did that
- smt88 6y agoAWS has this. It's called Elastic Beanstalk. There's no "small fee" on top. It just costs the underlying resources.
- billycodes 6y agoJust the fee of your time sorting through which services you need and then the docs for those services - assuming of course you chose the correct service(s)
- cheeze 6y agoI mean, yeah. AWS has a big offering of services. No different than sorting through which libraries you need to use and the docs for those libraries... That's... That's the job.
- smt88 6y agoIt's pretty annoying to do it yourself, but AWS also offers a lot of free time with their sales/accounts teams. You can just say, "Hey, I want a service that does _____" and be pointed at exactly what you need. All the major clouds are the same, though. You have to sift through a lot of marketing pages and docs to find what you want. It's still better than the old days of managing it all yourself.
- lambda_obrien 6y agoCan I push to a git repo and have it automatically deploy the code there, like in Dokku, without any work at all? To be clear, I am looking for a way to click through some setup stuff in a user management console then set some configurations and never have to manage anything again other than pushing to git. I don't even want to setup my own Dokku server, I already do that and while it's not hard, I don't like having to update it and maintain it about once a month.
- smt88 6y ago> Can I push to a git repo and have it automatically deploy the code there, like in Dokku, without any work at all? Yes. I do this with a very small config file with BitBucket Pipelines. It's easy to set it up with GitHub Actions or any other CI/CD solution. The core process is: 1. Build your code 2. Zip the build 3. Upload to S3 4. Tell Elastic Beanstalk to deploy the S3 file The BitBucket Pipeline I'm using is already configured with the code to do this, so you just specify some build commands and branches. > To be clear, I am looking for a way to click through some setup stuff in a user management console then set some configurations and never have to manage anything again other than pushing to git. That's exactly what I want(ed) and was able to achieve with Elastic Beanstalk + BitBucket Pipelines.
- lambda_obrien 6y agoAwesome! Thanks for that info! I think I'll try it out tonight, I still haven't used my free AWS products, so maybe I'll try a few others, too.
- codes_by_night 6y agoUffizzi is cutting legs out of Heroku on price. It’s new - some of docs are lacking but great UX and has a cheaper pricing scheme.
- hambone 6y agoSecond this
- adkadskhj 6y agoIs Heroku that expensive? Uffizzi looks to be $20/m for the smallest tier. Which is significant for small apps imo - am i misunderstanding something? I thought Heroku and DigitalOcean Apps had ~$5/m options with no DB, and something like $10/m for App+DB.
- foobiekr 6y agoSalesForce also has been slowly killing Heroku for years (including layoffs recently).
- hambone 6y agoYou should checkout Uffizzi.com. It’s built on GCP
- hambone 6y agoLike Heroku, but way less
- x3c 6y agoRender.com
- WrtCdEvrydy 6y agoTo be honest, Caprover does this easier than Dokku.
