   Thanks! We don't publish a roadmap at the moment, but a few things coming soon are a managed cloud, SDK gen for the major engines, more auth providers, and a few more foundational modules.

   I've experienced many similar incidents – I've been running multiplayer game servers on these "discount" server providers for a while now. They receive umpteen requests per day about spamming, hosting pirating/other

   Imo almost every "open source" VC-backed startup is actually "open core" (including us.) I'm yet to see a startup that doesn't have a significant closed-source or restrictively-licensed component. My philosophy

   I was employee #1, worked on basically everything that wasn't actual gameplay (core engine, matchmaking/servers, WASM-based anticheat) and left mid-2020. I work with a lot of non-web games nowadays, but I really miss building for

   Looks awesome! I worked on Krunker.io a few years back (which had a UGC aspect similar to this), love seeing more people picking up on the < 5s time-to-fun mechanic.

    TOML config files are used heavily in my product for developer-facing features. I personally think it's the cleaner compared to YAML + JSON. It also benefits from being easier to copy + paste configs from docs since the entire path is

    +1 this I don't understand why this answer is buried deep in a thread & isn't included in the Rust Book, even though it's been conventional wisdom among experienced Rustaceans for a few years now.

    We built our OSS company (Apache 2.0) with Nomad at its core. We provide game server orchestration with a handful of services around it, which could be misconstrued to be considered providing a "competitive offering to HashiCorp."

    In my experience, game developers are some of the most talented engineers I've ever met. But they're very different from the "high quality" engineers you'd find in the rest of tech. They're usually really goo

    We help developers build and scale multiplayer games ( https://rivet.gg ). Our backend has a lot of moving parts, so we spend a lot of time dealing with moving secrets around. We recently joined the YC W23 batch and launching an o

    Congrats on the launch! The first thing that strikes me is the flat organizational structure of secrets. We have at least 45 KV secrets per environment in Vault organized in a directory structure over at Rivet. Managing access policies and

    I’d recommend giving Docker Swarm + Traefik a shot. It’s dead simple to set up manually and has very little “magic” in how things work under the hood. Plus much of your existing Docker Compose config will work out of the box. It vastly simp
