   AWS Lambda[0] and GCP Functions[1] both say they support only up to Node 16 today. Hopefully they'll get new versions shipped with enough lead time for customers to upgrade ahead of the deprecation. (There are things like Cloud Run to

   Useful to hear these reports. It's hard to find trustable solid metrics on uptime and latency of web services prior to running your own tests. Usually it's a process of asking friends / getting bit yourself. I've seen so

   This looks super fun! Congrats on the release and hope you continue to grow the game though early access. Just for fun took a stab at rewording the game description following some tips I saw in a GDC talk on Steam store pages years ago, fee

   Looks like a lot of fun! I went to a co-located VR space for a friend's birthday party once that had wireless backpacks / VR guns and it was a great time. The place we went shut down (I'm assuming around the pandemic) but had

   One GCP Firestore tip a lot of folks don't realize for non-client-WebSocket-y workloads you can run Firestore in Datastore mode and it acts much more like DynamoDB. Can turn usage bills from $10s per month to pennies, and IIRC gives yo

    I've been really loving Upstash's Redis offering. Scales down to $0/month and for my needs (1-3 ops per second) even their high availability Redis ends up being just a few bucks a month. Probably cheaper and certainly easier

    Good question, it is some epic internet lore. It was from Stewart Butterfield, founder of Slack. He co-founded a game company Ludocorp in 2002 to create "Game Neverending", then pivoted its photo sharing functionality to become Fl

    Fun read, love finding those combination perf/cost wins! Have you considered using Firestore in Datastore mode[0]? It might make all of your reads free[1], though migrating could be a project. [0] https://cloud.google.com&#x

    This is incredible! Especially inspired by your success with WebAssembly. In some version of reality, you run with this and go on to create a fantastically useful web-based desktop system and define a new category :)
