Hacker News with Generative AI: Deployment

Rails 8.0 Released (rubyonrails.org)
Deploying modern web apps – with all the provisions needed to be fast and secure while easily updateable – has become so hard that many developers don’t dare do it without a PaaS (platform-as-a-service). But that’s ridiculous. Nobody should have to pay orders of magnitude more for basic computing just to make deployment friendly and usable. That’s a job for open source, and Rails 8 is ready to solve it.

A Checklist of Issues for Progressive Web Apps and How to Fix Them (heltweg.org)
This post is a collection of pitfalls I ran into developing progressive web apps or PWAs (such as WeightBook) without testing on actual devices, especially iPhones. Looking at your app in the browser dev tools or an Android test device can only take you so far. If you are interested in hosting your PWA using nginx and kubernetes / docker, also have a look at Build a progressive web app in docker with nginx to deploy to kubernetes or docker swarm.

Kamal 2 is a huge leap forward for that tool, and it has just shipped. Now you can deploy multiple applications to the same server, and you can have SSL certificates automatically provisioned via Let's Encrypt. A big compression in complexity, especially when just getting started.

Against the 'QA‐Free' Philosophy (github.com/getlago)
I recently watched Pieter Levels' interview with Lex Friedman and dove through the comments. Most discussed one hallmark topic: Pieter’s 1-click deployment system that only leverages local tests for testing. In Pieter’s own words, he’s notorious for not setting up staging servers. He prefers a stripped-down pipeline, something that enables him to ship fast.
