Great summary of the podcast! I used to lead a healthcare tech project a couple of years back and the sheer amount of hurdles we've had to jump was insane; Medplum could've/would've removed so many of them.

Hey hackers,

We are looking for feedback on our pricing model.

For those who haven't heard about Shuttle yet ─ we are a fully open source cloud development platform that lets you build Rust backends fast. The "fast" part comes from the fact that we utilize Infrastructure from Code to get you started quickly; bypassing DevOps, yaml files & complex consoles; so that you can focus on writing good code and shipping your product.

We are in the midst of our pricing roll out and, as some of you might know, pricing is hard to get right. Hence why we'd love if y'all could take a quick look at our pricing page, go through our offerings and let us know what your thoughts are.

You can find the pricing page here: https://shuttle.rs/pricing

You can find our docs (for more context) here: https://docs.shuttle.rs

With <3,

Shuttle team

Out of curiosity, what was the first impression you've got and/or what were you expecting to see?

It let's you deploy apps quickly and manage infrastructure without having to battle the AWS console and/or config files. A simple server (via most Rust frameworks) can be deployed by utilizing an annotation and then running `cargo shuttle deploy` whereas adding a resource, like a Postgres database for example, is also a matter of adding an additional annotation.

Haha, yeah, HackerNews corrects 'Backend' to 'Back End' automatically.

You got that right. What Shuttle is trying to do, among other things, is to extract the difficulties of getting started, especially in a language like Rust, so that you can focus on writing good code and moving fast (when moving fast is a requirement).

Hello hackers!

We're thrilled to announce that Shuttle has reached its beta phase! After an incredibly successful alpha phase with over 4,000+ users, 4,000+ deployed projects, and 3,100+ GitHub stars, we're excited to share this major milestone with our community of developers and contributors.

Shuttle, a Rust-native cloud development platform, revolutionizes backend development by streamlining code development and infrastructure management directly from your code. Our goal is to provide the fastest backend development experience for Rust.

During our closed alpha phase, we experimented with different approaches and made a breakthrough with the use of macros for resource provisioning. With just a single line of code, developers can access everything they need, simplifying infrastructure management.

*Why should you give Shuttle a go?*

Navigating complex consoles and writing extensive YAML files for infrastructure configuration can be daunting, setting up and wiring all the infrastructure is a time-consuming and error-prone process. There is also a steep learning curve that can detract individuals and teams from focusing on core application logic. By utilizing Infrastructure from Code in a cloud development platform, we can address these challenges for the quickly growing community of Rust backend developers and teams.

Rust, known for its safety, concurrency, and performance, is an excellent choice for creating efficient and reliable applications. Incorporating annotations into the main function allows you to leverage code generation and resource provisioning, streamlining your workflow and minimizing manual infrastructure management.

This approach offers several benefits for various use cases, such as rapid prototyping and easy scaling of applications. Using Shuttle, you are simplifying the integration of development and operations processes, promoting collaboration and reducing the potential for errors since you are getting compile time insurance that you are getting the right infrastructure.

We've got a lot of exciting things in store and are very excited to what the near future brings.

Looking forward to hear your thoughts!
