Here's some context for those who, like me, never heard about Unison before:
This service is apparently directed at developers using a programming language called Unison ― hence the name: Unison Cloud.
As I understand it, this is akin to launching a service called Python Cloud (by the PSF, as part of the language?) where Python developers can deploy their apps as a function call:
# app.py
class App:
def get(self, req):
name = req.GET.get("name")
return f"<p>hello {name}!</p>"
def deploy(self):
from PyCloud import cloud
project = cloud.create_project(self)
project.deploy()
# main.py
from .app import App
app = App()
url = app.deploy()
- benpacker 3y agoYep, that’s right. Modal (https://modal.com https://modal.com) is actually what you’re describing with Python, but Modal is just the compute layer (Unison is going for the whole cloud), and Modal isn’t doing anything to handle version alignment across service boundaries
- ahmedfromtunis 3y agoI never heard of them before, but they offer is amazing -- even though I don't think I'll be using anytime soon.
