That sweater is one of my favorite items, thank you :) The goal is for this to be able to run well on commodity hardware, which I think is possible. If I can run this on $platform with $cheap instances and an $autoscaler then that would be

The only HTTP API that is exposed is actually the SQS one. (I'm not opposed to a "regular" HTTP API but the goal was to make it easy for people to use existing libraries.) If you do use your language's AWS SDK, the code

I haven't tried this with litestream! It will be worth exploring that as a replication strategy. The nice thing about queues is that backend storage doesn't really need to be coordinated. Like, you could have two servers, with two

Curious: if you were going to switch, how would you want to run this? Would you want to deploy it to your own EC2 instances, or would you want a hosted solution (just as SQS itself is?)

Thank you! Yes, you should definitely use this instead of localstack :)

Can you tell me more about why you needed this (and what you ended up using?) Totally agree on adding more metrics and information to the UI - but how much of that should be on the dashboard vs exposed as a prometheus metric for someone to

This is a great question and something I've been thinking about a lot. Big picture: Each queue node can operate (mostly) independently, and this is good. As a consumer, I don't really care where my next message comes from, so I ca

Thank you for the feedback - agree on the gif. Also it should probably show real messages an an example instead of rand(). re: maintenance - I have tried to build this to be hands-off. The only storage this uses is SQLite, and I have the co

I was not aware of testcontainer until you just mentioned it! I have a very basic Dockerfile for deploying to fly.io. What/how would I get started? It looks like localstack is a supported testcontainer and they do support SQS (but I ha

Truthfully, I don't know yet - I haven't even built a paid/hosted version at all. It is related to my existing business in the sense that it deals with realtime data. But I started working this as something I wish existed as

I'm using WAL mode - I'd almost given up on sqlite until I remembered to enable it. I've been playing with benchmarks, yes! I haven't written them up yet because I worry about doing them the "right" way. but si

This is really cool! My big problem with most document software is: 1. Everything is locked in. I want to be able to easily export or back up my notes. 2. The pricing is so nickel and dimey. Have more than 100 nodes in the document tree? Up

The is only 1 reason for me: slack connect. Whenever I sign up a new customer, they get a slack channel where they can talk with our team. By far the best way to do this is to connect our slacks. With anything else they'd have to log i

Could you share a very small code snippet describing what you mean by bound method pointers? (Huge fan of rclone!)

It may be that lambdas (cloud functions, etc) have become more popular and supported on other platforms. When you enqueue something, you eventually need to dequeue and process it. A lambda just does that in a single call. It also removes th

Awesome! What's the process for self-hosting?

Ask your target customers specifically! You can have the best of both worlds with tiered pricing. $20/month for x usage, plus $y for overages.

This is a very intuitive list. I'm going to try some of these things this week. (I'll keep everyone posted.)

Feedback: can there be a big “loom” on the homepage showing how it works or what differentiates it? Right now we only see tweets but nothing that gives me the “aha” moment to want to try it out. Make me remember the pain, and show me really

Just to address this comment chain: loom does make it easier to do screen recordings and demos, and additionally has features like timestamped comments and notes and sharing functionality. The target customer is a business who is making dem

by memset 2y ago
I disagree - the fact you don’t know what Loom is probably means you’re not in the market for this kind of software. Better, at this stage, to focus on users who will immediately get it rather than explain to folks who don’t currently have

> Surely I think it would be great if postgres supported parquet out of the box. However I am not sure that this is the "best" solution - it would take years for the data load to finish if we had to wait for that!

The article isn't particularly about Parquet or S3. They are both great technologies and I use them all the time. I mentioned CSV because it is the only format supported by Postgres for ingest (besides their binary protocol) but that i

That is what tipped me over the edge for this little rant. I've talked to a lot of folks who don't have a background in the data ecosystem and want to do fairly mundane things ("copy data out of a parquet file into a regular
