Looks cool, if a little pricey.
What's keeping me from using serverless for more general purpose SaaS is that there is absolutely no good answer for background jobs. Sure, you can plug in some external CRON service, use GitHub Actions, or maybe use something like quirrel.dev. But none of that comes close to "rails g job example" (or your favourite frameworks equivalent).
Good luck with your project, though!
- creativedg 5y agoThank you for your support and message. I've never tried it myself but there several option to build a background jobs in serverless mode: Amazon EventBridge and CloudWatch Events. You can check the documentation at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/events/ScheduledEvents.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/events/S... So, no need to plug any external service. I'm totally bias but I love Serverless, you can do everything. Background jobs shouldn't stop you using Serverless ;)
