I've already had to edit the JSON file on S3 to remove/edit a couple of comments. That was pretty easy to do from the command-line, but I think most people will want a web interface.

That's definitely on the To Do list. I need to add a little authentication interface for the admin - the complexity starts to pile up. But I think it can be done nicely.

I'm not really using DynamoDB to store data. I'm using it to sequence parallel requests going into the 'worker' that concatenates things together -- so two simultaneous incoming comments don't clobber each other. At

In the blog post, I do link to some projects you can run on your own server. Actually, it wouldn't take much work to modify the code in this project to run in a Node.js daemon. I might just do it anyways to make testing/dev easier

Yep, I started it before that. I'd love to lessen the dependency on Babel/Webpack as much as possible. I'm still using async/await, ES6 modules and some other more experiment ES-next features, so I think it will be awhil

"Serverless" is the trendy term that the community is describing this particular architecture. I didn't invent the term. http://serverlessconf.io/ https://serverlesscode.com/ https:/&#x

Looking at the CloudWatch Logs, each comment seems to take approximately (Billed Duration): 400ms for the initial request, and 800-1000ms for the worker to concatenate the request into the published JSON. It's running in the minimum si

I don't have "real life" numbers yet, since I just set it up yesterday. I've used up my free tier, so I should be able to get real numbers from Cost Explorer. I'm not sure if everything is tagged nicely for that. On

Cool. It's great to see my project on Hacker News! Feel free to ask me any questions here, or using the comment system on the blog post. :-)

Gotta reply to this, since I live/work downtown. The Downtown Eastside (DTES) is the oldest part of Vancouver. It's located next to the port, so it's where the rooming houses have historically been located. It's much the

This! The tech salaries are absurdly low. The tech CEOs who pay poor wages and are complaining about their inability to retain talent are the same ones blaming real estate.

One overlooked reason is that it's just plain harder to build searchable indexable clean databases with the writing system (kanji, hiragana, katakani, romaji and English all in use simultaneously). Manual methods often work better.

The whole system needs an overhaul. Voters never see the effects of the immigration laws the politicians write. I'm Canadian, but I've worked in the US in the past and make frequent shopping trips (like most Canadians). Many times

During my time there, the stuff was amazingly solid. It was Solaris, not Linux, with a heavy dose of NetBSD ports. The customer support was the best in the biz too, but only the larger customers really saw that. There were always those lega

Ex-Joyent employee here, but I don't go back that far. The company has quite the history. I have to disagree with your characterizations. The products changed much over the years, many things were tried, many failed. Most startups chan
