Congratulations on the launch! Was this built on top of Arroyo?
Heavily rooting for Ladybird.

> there is a real hole in the market for a simple solution that lets you deploy some containers to some instances in a declarative fashion without all of that complexity and does decent LTS versions

There's Nomad for this; I wish more teams would run Nomad.

Re:Terrably: Build Terraform Providers in TypeScript on Tuesday May 12, 2026 @08:00AM (#48107015)
Terrably lets you build Terraform & OpenTofu providers in TypeScript, using Node.js or Bun.

Nothing against Go, but I've always wanted to reverse-engineer the Terraform Go Plugin SDK so I can develop providers using TypeScript.

The terrably framework ships with a CLI that can scaffold a new project, run correctness checks, build provider binaries, and publish the provider to the Terraform Provider registry.

Developers can develop and build using Node.js or Bun.

I've also built a toy provider at https://github.com/paambaati/terraform-provider-gpcloud that serves as a real example, as well as a full end-to-end test of the framework. For each new release, we use it to plan, apply & destroy the provider and then publish a new version on the provider registry.

It's been available on nightlies for a while, and should land in 1.3.0 in a week or two.
How does this compare with [`useSWR`](https://swr.vercel.app/)?
I’m struggling with this too, and I cannot disable or remove the live TV app. If I get an Apple TV, can I have the TV always default to it on startup?
BoilingData does something very similar, except with Lambdas on AWS.

I switched to https://github.com/Schniz/fnm a while ago and it’s been fantastic. I also bake it into all of our Packer images at work.

Agreed. I’m very closely watching https://ladybird.org/

Instagram is built with Django.
Really cool, thank you!
Re:The Bun Shell on Sunday January 21, 2024 @03:29AM (#39076680)
It’s quite often used in npm scripts to cleanup stuff (say, between builds), and many developers prefer that over native solutions like `rm` and `del` as it gives them a cross-platform way of cleaning up files and folders.

Have you considered Playwright? It offers very straightforward APIs to do exactly this.

Chances are they can’t control that; they’re perhaps provided by a vendor.
Re:Emoji Generator with AI on Saturday September 09, 2023 @01:52AM (#37442633)
I was about to start building a new application and I really wanted to give Fly a shot, but the CLI literally wouldn’t connect to their builder API. The status page was all green, but clearly things weren’t working.

I moved to Render and I’ve had a much better experience.

Noob question - are they somehow better at AI/ML workloads than regular x86_64?
Re:Lima: A nice way to run Linux VMs on Mac on Monday July 10, 2023 @10:32PM (#36675775)
Thanks for sharing this. I’d stayed away from it worried that it’ll be expensive, but I’ll try it now as its free for personal use.
How does this compare with pgTyped[1]?

Re:Show HN: Arroyo – Write SQL on streaming data on Wednesday June 07, 2023 @12:25PM (#36229055)
This looks great, and it’s very cool that it recommends Nomad to run it in production.

I wish more products would support (or at least document how to run on) Nomad.

Also FWIW, all of these various runtimes are starting to converge on a single spec so they are interoperable and your code is truly portable — https://wintercg.org/

TIL.
Re:Bun v0.5.7 on Saturday February 25, 2023 @08:14AM (#34936427)
Bun also does way more. It aims to be an all-in-one runtime, so it has way more, even a planned bundler.
