This is cool!

Similar idea to what we've been working on over at Signl.fm - here's our first prototype: https://geekouts.xyz/

Nice work! Potentially I could use this to deploy lambda-comments. :-)

It's super cool since you can have hundreds of micro services deployed using SSL for only $14.99 a month. https://zeit.co/now#pricing

I was using localStorage, which apparently you can't do if you are on Safari running in private mode. I've changed the code, and it should work now.

That's pretty cool.

My understanding that it's per shard. So if you never partition, only one lambda function will run at a time. Kinesis might be a good solution if you wanted to use this code to run a Disqus-scale service with millions of blogs. Not muc

Any working solution actually has thousands of components. I'd defend this particular Rube Goldberg machine by pointing out that 99% of the time, none of my code is running on the server side - it's all Amazon S3. The only time my

Yep, lots of options out there. One of my motivations for doing the project was to just learn how to provision a bunch of AWS services and make it reproducible. I might write a little shim so you can also just run the API as a standard Node

Cost report: https://jimpick.com/2016/05/05/introducing-lambda-comments/#... For 8000 visitors, it cost me $1.37. The numbers might be skewed upwards a bit because somebody posted a gigantic blob for one

Interesting. I think that still might be the 'push' model and not the 'pull' model, so it might attempt to do work in parallel. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/intro-invocation.

Yeah. If you blog is getting so many comments that you need more than 1 request a second (the minimum), you've got other problems.

What surprised me with Lambda is that it 'freezes' the VM your code is running in, and 'unfreezes' it when more requests come in. Very clever - they can store a lot of frozen VMs on an SSD. It surprised me when I discove

I haven't done lots of testing on it yet. I just found out that happens when browsing in 'Incognito' mode. Probably a bug.

AWS has a free tier that gives you some free resources for the first 12 months. After that, you have to pay.

That's pretty extreme. I like it.

Lambda doesn't support SQS as an event source yet.

Correct. I'm provisioning the minimum amount. I'd love to find a cheaper solution.

I think it might be possible to embed lambda-comments into an iframe that could then appear on GitHub README.md files, etc. It's just an untested theory for now. ;-)

My approach was to just pump the entire comment through the "markdown-it" markdown processor, which promises to emit safe HTML. It's a popular project, so I'm banking on the fact that they go a good job of sanitizing in

A future project for me is to see if I can render the comments out to a string at the moment when Hugo is rebuilding my blog. Then the comments would be in the DOM before the JavaScript is even loaded. I've done that with React apps be
