Normally you build a prototype on laptop and move it out to fat hardware when it outgrows that. Here they started with 3k infra and then later realized it runs on toaster. Completely back to front.
Maybe they just never iterated on a local version and nobody developed an intuition for requirements. Switched straight to iterating on a nebulous cloud where you can't tell how much horsepower is behind the cloudfunctions etc.
Presumably there is a perfectly reasonably explanation and it's just not spelled out, it just seems weird based on given info

- gregsadetsky 1y agoSmall correction - the blog article talks about a CCX33 (go to "Dedicated General Purpose" [0]) with 32 Gb of RAM, not a "Shared" CX33. [0 ]https://www.hetzner.com/cloud https://www.hetzner.com/cloud
- Havoc 1y agoWell spotted. I retract my toaster comment. 32GB dedi isn't quite toaster class
- gregsadetsky 1y agoNever say never - this smart oven runs Android and has 2Gb of RAM and 16Gb of SSD https://juneoven.com/pages/smart-oven https://juneoven.com/pages/smart-oven (scroll down to the specs) Almost VPS-sized! haha (I really wish we could support phones as the ultimate self-hosting device)
