If you’re running containers you’ll want some kind of container management - but I’ve been fine with ECS for running on AWS. It’s well integrated, standard enough , configurable via OpenTofu/Terraform/CloudFormation etc and free

SSO all the way (if you can). Chances are you've got Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 - both allow you to configure SAML based SSO into many SaaS apps either through their respective app galleries or some kind of custom configuration.

When I wrote the code that published that for Storengy UK around 4 years ago I never expected AGSI would get featured on HN. Strange world we live in.

That's pretty awful on Lastpass's behalf. 1Password does this much better - your account is frozen in such that you can't add new passwords or make changes, but you can still read your data: https://support.1passwo

Curious to see how this would be deployed in the wild. A sneaky way would be to add this as an extension to existing Lambdas - it could run in parallel any time such a Lambda is invoked, and continue even after an initial response until the

The UK also has credit scores, although they’re not the sole factor in acceptance for credit. Experian, Equifax and Transunion all have their own individual scoring systems with different scales - I’m not aware of a standard like Fico here.

Not true (unfortunately). Transfer within an AZ is free, but go outside that and the pricing is a minefield: https://twitter.com/QuinnyPig/status/1172239124251709449?s=1...

I'm not sure why you've had problems with Terraform trying to nuke things - I'd say the planning capability was one of its strong points. A quick glance at the plan will tell you what it needs to remove to put an environment

Unfortunately this is true - the Terraform AWS provider has thousands of PRs closed (and hundreds still open) as proof. Nevertheless, things seem to get support quicker in Terraform than in CloudFormation.

Any chance of support for KAYAK or AwardWallet? Both offer a TripIt style forward booking email to add to an itinerary - I think AwardWallet offers an API for access to account data.

Well that's one way to avoid using Content-Security-Policy with "unsafe-inline" (assuming someone cares about CSP?)

Another generally happy customer. I'm on Home::1 and the pricing is much more stomach-able than the other units based tariff. Line monitoring graphs/logs on their control panel are excellent, and you can opt in to SMS messages if
