My game has been taking advantage of the GAE free tier for approximately 10 years now, only having to pay a few cents per months when there's a bump in activity. I probably could have avoided those cents by adding a little bit more cac

Security and stability is an other tradeoff: isolating code by running it in separate processes has a cost both in terms of memory and CPU.

Apple and Amazon are unsurprisingly absent: For Apple the web is a nuisance at best, and Amazon just never contributes back.

Stunning. Fantastic job on the rendering side too! It looks so good and with such high frame-rate I thought it was streamed Stadia style, but it works offline too. There's a lot of banding in the blobs though. It could be solved simply
