Show HN: Open-source console for cloud operations

Posted by safeerm on Thursday May 04, 2023 @10:08AM
from the show-hn dept.

https://github.com/tinystacks/opsconsole

Ops Console is an open-source console for cloud operations that delivers a dashboard and workflow engine so developers can organize resources in sensible ways, view key service metadata in one place and automate cloud workflows. With a low-code, widget-based approach, developers can design custom dashboards and workflows and even build their own custom widgets.

Show HN: Precloud – Dynamic tests for infrastructure-as-code. Open source

Posted by safeerm on Thursday January 26, 2023 @09:27AM
from the show-hn dept.

https://github.com/tinystacks/precloud

Infrastructure as code (IaC) often fails during deployment due to dynamic constraints such as name collisions, quota limits and other resource-specific constraints that devs run halfway into an IaC deployment. We witnessed this first hand at TinyStacks and built precloud - an open-source framework to define and run dynamic tests before IaC deployments.The precloud framework currently supports...

I worked with Khawaja and Daniela at AWS. They always were strong advocates of developer experience and it really shows with Momento. Congrats on the launch!
Re:S3 isn't getting cheaper on Friday July 29, 2022 @01:38AM (#32273521)
Like the other comments mentioned your post misses of how transparent AWS has been in price reductions in the past.

More importantly, S3 now has several tiers of pricing depending on how frequently you access the data. So maybe lately they haven’t reduced the pricing of the top tier of S3 but they’ve made it significantly cheaper for other use cases of data. That is very contrary to the comments being made of innovators dilemma.

(I used to work at AWS but have no knowledge about pricing decisions)

if you're interesting in moving off Heroku to AWS without the complexity of Kubernetes, I would love to chat with you. safeer [at] tinystacks.com
Re:Ask HN: Have you ever switched cloud? on Friday April 08, 2022 @04:32AM (#30954675)
This is very, very true. One of our customers described it really well “The nightmare of DevOps kept us from managing AWS directly, but with TinyStacks we can scale a billion+ requests a day in audio advertising leveraging the full power of AWS.”
Re:Ask HN: Have you ever switched cloud? on Thursday April 07, 2022 @09:21AM (#30944074)
Without Spot/Reserved incentives. Could get even more if that’s done.
Re:Ask HN: Have you ever switched cloud? on Thursday April 07, 2022 @09:01AM (#30943859)
What are you using for compute EKS and Fargate? We just helped someone switch from Heroku to AWS and they dropped their cloud costs by 67%. This is using ECS + EC2. Fargate is typically 2x more expensive.
Re:The Big DevOps Misunderstanding on Sunday December 19, 2021 @03:57PM (#29618326)
Really great post. When I was at AWS, we did everything with IaC but that luxury of time and investment is not avail to many. We're working on this problem but ensuring that devs has a) full transparency what's going on, b) ability to evolve their arch and c) building right on your AWS account. We just moved someone from Heroku to AWS handling 1B requests/day at 1/4 of the cost.

have a bunch of AWS execs backing us too; they know this is a problem. Happy to chat more if you want to give it a spin: tinystacks.com

OP here. If you're looking to move your Docker app to AWS, would love to help you with our one-click free tool: tinystacks.com. We can even migrate your database.
Re:Ask HN: How Long Is Your CI Process? on Saturday May 01, 2021 @05:35PM (#27010084)
It's going to depend on the size of your code base and tests but when I was at AWS by the time we built and ran our test suite it was close to that time as well (30-45 min).

It's really interesting how many companies these days have a primary pricing model of build minutes.

If you are looking for a DIY solution for your CI, check out https://tinystacks.com. We have the fastest way to launch and operate your Docker app on AWS. In one click, we setup infra and an automated pipeline on your AWS. Uses ECS with Fargate. All setup for you with a control center for logs, env vars and scaling. No config nightmare.

Email me safeer at tinystacks.com and I can get you onboarded.

Re:Heroku-style deployments with Docker and Git tags on Sunday April 25, 2021 @05:19PM (#26936784)
we're working on TinyStacks to solve this - we've built the fastest way to deploy and maintain your Docker app on AWS.

In one click, TinyStacks takes your app code on GitHub and spins up all the necessary infrastructure with a fully automated pipeline - all on your AWS. Just git push.

We just started onboarding a few customers on Fri and would love to onboard a few more. Email me: [email protected]

hey Zack, we have a prototype of this, we would love to have you try out (and anyone else). We just helped a couple customers migrate their Docker code repos from DigitalOcean to AWS and save $2K a month with our template. Gives you a CI/CD pipeline and deploys on ECS/Fargate.

He in no way implied that the UN should permit violence. This is completely false.

What Israel has done in Palestine is countless atrocities recognized by the UN every country in the world except the US.

I visited two years ago. Witnessed Israeli settlers live taking over Palestinian homes after they were kicked out by the police.

The systemic oppression of Palestinians by the Israeli government and supported by the US must end.
