I would second this. Side by side I put the GCP ecosystem several years in front of the other major ones AWS & Azure in terms of capabilities and even general day to day experience.
As for OP you might want to take a look at a combination of Cloud Native Buildpacks to keep that same Heroku like deployment experience that you’re already familiar with and combine it with something like Cloud Run which is a pretty simple contract where you give it an image and it will run it for you.
GCP (especially Firebase if you’re looking for a simple abstraction layer that feels more Heroku-like) is absolutely phenomenal.
If it wasn’t for the legendary bad support and constant Google-typical paranoia of and arbitrariness in shutting off services and banning accounts I‘d move my whole company to it from AWS in a heartbeat. (Realistically these points have never been an issue ever, but that kind of backdrop doesn’t feel too good)
AWS vs GCP feels like Windows Server vs a Linux server distro in terms of UI and complexity overhead
Founder here, I hope it helps, and we wanted to give back after being inspired by this community that has encouraged sharing. We believe this is the first open-sourced TCFD reporting tool, and we will invest in its growth while hoping it encourages others to do the same.
I think you are talking about their other offers? I was referring to ones at the bottom of this page under section: "Download Azul Zulu Builds of OpenJDK"
An alternative to the standard JDK that's supported by Oracle. Generally, the less stuff Oracle controls, the better (not to say Amazon having control is inherently better, but imo, it's better than Oracle)
Apparently Oracle changes the license of their openjdk builds a while ago, so big corps decided it'll be safer to maintain their own jdk build in case Oracle's lawyers come knocking.
Everytime I've taken the route that there is some evil, no good as come out of it but when you give a group of people the benifit of the doubt, I would argue the majority of the time it's just a mistake.
This is a great library. I’ve been using it on and off for a few years since it was released and it’s fairly well written, and the developers provide great support on github.
This is great. Many scrapers require constantly monitoring which is a bit heavy for the scraping process. I can see this tool making it easy to monitor for changes fairly quickly. Great work!
Cofounder of 15Rock here. I would love your feedback. We worked on this full time for several years, we model companies carbon emissions and then tie to together with financial modeling. We are in our early release stage and there are a ton of updates coming but I thought I'd reach out for any feedback or suggestions you may have - thank you!
This sets a very bad precedent within this company. If the remaining employees realize that to stay employeed they can I suspect this decision has wider implications for the remaining employees than 150 who were laid off. Remaining people may start faking productivity to stay employeed.
I won't be the most popular person on hacker news for this but check out bubble.io for the front end and then use heruku(free tier) + python(flask + fastapi, etc) for the API.
With this stack you can quickly build a API, connect it to bubble and show people your idea in a way that's actually working. Later on you can move all your API data off bubble and replace the front end with whatever you want.
I found it the cheapest and easiest way to build something very quickly.
