Autoscaling for personal projects is just a tool to turn random DDOS into personal bankruptcy.

[-] Kissaki@programming.dev 59 points 1 year ago

I scale by dropping requests

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

I don't understand how anyone uses a paid API for a personal project. I looked hard into MS, Google and Amazon a few years ago for a project and couldn't find anywhere where you could hard block services to never ever go above the free tier.

Considering that I'll build a project and forget about it for years, putting in my credit card into a cloud service was a guaranteed gigantic bill sometime in the future when things went wrong. (Over your life, something is guaranteed to go wrong.)

Oracle cloud will stop things if it goes out of the free tier.

[-] lordnikon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

to answer your question you can with budgets under cost explorer and running everything as a cloudformation template

[-] whereisk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Have you heard of virtual debit cards? You can't charge what's not there.

Also, at least AWS will in fact send you an email when you approach the end of free tour usage.

Having said all that, most devs can host the few hundred visits they might get over a month with a $200 home server and a free CloudFlare cache if they know what they're doing.

Have you heard of virtual debit cards?

I tried one and it didn't work. Reading about it said they block those.

I don't need an email. I need it to stop instantly. In the time it takes me to notice an email, I could have hundreds of dollars in charges.

All cloud providers will support budget notifications. That doesn't do much good when you shoot past the budget in a short timespan. I set a Google cloud budget of $20/month and enabled a Tensorboard instance, which had no observable indication that it cost anything except the base cost of the VM, and got notified that I was $280 over budget the next day. Apparently there was an upfront $300/month/user fee for Tensorboard. (Several months later they changed the pricing model to $10 GiB/month with no user fee.)

I'm the opposite. I build things using the YOLO practice, then refactor to scale if my shit becomes popular :D

[-] TrumpetX@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

I think you meant YAGNI, but I dunno, YOLO might be a legit strategy for you too ;)

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

YAGNI

At an abstract level, sure. But no, I mostly meant I just start coding and see where it takes me :D

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

And it clearly works, considering I personally know like 3 projects you made!

[-] lemming741@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

On behalf of /c/selfhosted we resent this image

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

What in there are you doing in your self-hosted environment?

They are all way too much work for no gain at all. Arguably useful if you have enough scale, but even then it's arguably.

[-] lemming741@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

None of those specifically, but after you have a virtualization host your flock tends to grow pretty quickly. More that I'm hosting big multi-user things like nextcloud for a single user.

[-] tromars@feddit.de 25 points 1 year ago

Hey, not fair. It’s one user, ok? I mean, that’s me, but still

[-] Kissaki@programming.dev 15 points 1 year ago

Webcrawlers count as users too, right?

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

So... Me and the Google bot. I still don't know how to convince the Bing bot the thing exists.

[-] whereisk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Only if you let them

For the love of god! My anus is bleeding! (-Yay! Hooray!-)

[-] daellat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Insert dick!

This is a reference I'm wondering anyone would get please let me know if you do

[-] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Surgeon simulator. The funniest video ever

[-] daellat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That video sent me back in the day

Sorry/your welcome.

Edit: I misread your comment. facepalm
W.e I'm leaving the link to Rejected.

I can hear this gif

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

My rectum is bleeding.

[-] Dasnap@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

But you're prepared for when it gets big! It's inevitable!

[-] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Just one more round of funding and then…

That’s the Reddit strategy of platform development.

[-] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

Yea except serverless you pay for usage, so if you have zero users, it's free! Just make sure you put a hard limit on autoscaling.

[-] sirico@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

Implying I know how to do any of this

[-] pewgar_seemsimandroid 5 points 1 year ago

vaporware vs ransomware

[-] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

But those are th3 fun parts!

[-] LinearArray@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Put everything in one app

why is it that every time i become more of a linux user, things only seem to get worse around me? Is this how linux works?
