Yes, DOs have a similar approach. Plane is sort of like DOs but using containers instead of V8 isolates, allowing you to run code that couldn’t run in the browser (either for cpu/memory needs, or because it just won’t compile to JS/wasm).
- robertlagrant 4y agoHn yes, that makes sense. If I remember correctly, CF liked isolates because they have a superb cold start time. How does Plane do there?
- paulgb 4y agoOn the order of a few seconds, which is certainly slower than isolates, but fast enough to e.g. spin up a Jupyter backend in a reasonable amount of time. We're playing around with some ideas to make it even faster, like snapshotting.
- robertlagrant 4y agoMakes sense. Well, this feels like the future, so the more innovation and competition the better! Glad you're here.
