Show HN: Use GitHub Actions to serve a serverless service
- domano 6y agoThis goes against githubs TOS and is not the first project to do so.
- Lhd 6y agowas the other project also using github actions?
- domano 6y agoYes, got killed pretty quickly. Take a look: https://docs.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-additional-product-terms#5-actions-and-packages https://docs.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-additio... Specifically: "any activity that places a burden on our servers, where that burden is disproportionate to the benefits provided to users (for example, don't use Actions as a content delivery network or as part of a serverless application, but a low benefit Action could be ok if it’s also low burden); or"
- carbotaniuman 6y agoWhat's the other one?
- domano 6y agoWell since the repository is gone i can not link to it. It was posted on HN sometime last year.
- andrew_ 6y agoHate to be sour grapes here, but this is nothing new. Every project that uses actions to publish a package, create a release commit and/or tag, and commit that to the repo is doing pretty much the same thing.
- damsta 6y agoUnfortunately projects like will probably force GH to remove Actions for free private repos and limit it for public repos in some way, like enabling it only for approved projects. Please stop abusing this feature.
- sombremesa 6y agoIs this anything besides a static website that could be hosted on S3 just as well? Seems like you're just using Actions to compile the static assets, which is probably not as good as doing it locally.
- angrais 6y agoOne distinction is serving the static content on the internet, which results in a consumable API. This is not the same as running locally.
- joshmanders 6y agoPlease do not abuse Microsoft/GitHub's goodwill of giving free resources. This will just get them taken away from everyone.
- b1nj0y 6y agoThough I'm clear that this's just a tiny tool that can't be compared with a big project, I also have some feelings as I read this: https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2020/1/7/21003272/space-x-starlink-astronomy-light-pollution https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2020/1/7/21003272/spa...
