Open Source Durable Objects for Postgres
- cardmagic 25d agoAuthor here. celld and workerd give you Durable Objects if you run another daemon. This is a library your app loads, with state stored in the SQL database you already have (Postgres, MySQL and SQLite supported). No daemon required, no new infrastructure and monitoring, no broker, and no vendor account. Pre-1.0, MIT, TypeScript, in browser (with WASM SQLite), and Ruby too. Happy to answer anything.

- alex7o 23d agoThis looms nice and I starred but you just want actors and there are other options for that you might want to compare, I like rika actors, or temporal (not actors exactly but durable state and workflows). This is a space where a few very similar technologies after looked from different lenses sell themselves widely differently. So if you know what you want and the names of the things you are searching for you can get a thing that looks 90% like te rest, sorry a bit rambly. But yeah it would be nice to add some comparisons against these technologies as well.

- _joel 23d agoWhy chose the Solid- line of naming, considering that's the rails provided naming. I makes it look like this is official.

- robertlagrant 23d agoThe criticism of Cloudflare here is reasonable, I think. I really like the CF building blocks - they're neat and conceptually useful and quite unusual. I think they could have a better developer experience though (though it probably is better than when I last tried it), and I also think they could have a little more confidence in their overall platform's usefulness and open up more of their model as open source. For example, I'd love to run my CF workers in CI locally without creating infrastructure (again, this may have changed since I last tried it).

- robertlagrant 22d agoI might have to have another look. It always felt a bit magical, but maybe it's not so magical any more.
- greatgib 23d agoI don't know if it is ai generated or at the opposite hand written a little bit fast but I find this article very hard to read despite the concepts in it being simple.
- foobarbecue 23d agoI couldn't parse "Getting that model has meant taking on something else."
- nchmy 23d agoThe article is 1000% ai slop
- alex_duf 23d agoHard disagree there. I still don't know what the article is about if I'm being honest, but it doesn't bear the markings of being generated.
- nchmy 22d agoyou need to tune your slopmeter, friend
- andrewaylett 23d agoAI, but I'm not sure about "slop". There is actual content in there, for all it's written by an LLM.
- nchmy 22d agoYeah, i just call anything thats obviously been generated by AI "slop".
- andrewaylett 21d agoIn my mind, slop is when the output is longer than the context provided by the user -- there's text, but there's no content. Where LLMs can be really actually quite useful, is situations where you have a lot of context and want to distil it. That's what I think happened here: the author has a lot of information to convey, and the LLM-generated output is relatively information-dense. Unfortunately there's no objective measure for information density of an arbitrary piece of text.

- noir_lord 23d ago> Pricing you cannot predict. Every operation is metered. One runaway alarm loop billed a pre-launch developer $34,000 in eight days, with no users and no warning. It's amazing that we still lack the ability to set a hard cost cap on a lot of cloud services/API, as the consumer you usually have a rough idea of what something is going to cost (I say rough because pricing out AWS is always fun) and an idea of what the lower bound "oh shit that isn't right" limit should be, so why can we not set that. You shouldn't be getting an unexpected $34K bill (unless it's within variance and you are running a very large system). Cynically the opaqueness of this stuff has to be by design/intention at this point.
- Dlemlo 23d agoEspecially when Google and co tells you that they can bill by the second. I do not own a hyperscaler account as a private person and will never do, the financial risk is too high even IF the support will swift it away.
- CharlieDigital 23d agoIt is perhaps more accurate to say that they can meter by the second, but the billing calculation is a trailing activity.
- nater5000 23d ago>as the consumer This is where this discrepancy occurs. AWS (etc.) aren't targeting "consumers," they're targeting enterprises. Enterprises want to use these services with minimal interference and overhead. They'll build out whatever features they need as they need them. It's the same thing with any other utility service: a factory isn't interested in having the electric company or water company shut off their services if their usage spikes. They'll manage their usage (and potential overages) in whatever way is specifically suitable for them. Consumers have plenty of options to prevent such situations. Hell, AWS even offers Lightsail which is the consumer-friendly version of their services which is designed to be simple with a flat rate cost (including options of object storage). If a consumer decides to tap into enterprise-grade services and ends up getting burned as a result, then I'm blaming the consumer rather than the provider of those services. These dynamics are all pretty clear and easy to understand (and even mitigate, with enough effort), so I don't see how you can claim they are "opaque" unless you're the kind of consumer who feels every company should dumb down their products to cater to the lowest common denominator.
