Hacker News with Generative AI: Serverless

Static as a Server (overreacted.io)
And yet, although this blog is built with RSC, it is statically served from a Cloudflare CDN using their free static hosting plan. It costs me exactly zero.

Ask HN: How much traffic do you serve and with which database engine? (ycombinator.com)
It's common to see here that Postgres hosted in RDS can handle 99% of workloads up to millions of users. I'm building an IoT app with a plan to ingest the IoT traffic into dynamo partitioned on user id (I'm quite familiar with the tradeoffs) and everything else be in Postgres. A few services but not microservice (basically: core service, identity service, IoT data service, notification service).

PR Previews Don't Need Vercel: My Solution on a $5 VPS (pert.dev)
Let's preface this by admitting that the title is a little farcical - the fact that Vercel and other similar sites give you preview domains out of the box with no setup is a lovely feature. This blog is purely to show you that it's actually possible to configure these yourself, and furthermore, it's way easier than you might think!

I Didn't Need Kubernetes, and You Probably Don't Either (benhouston3d.com)
Kubernetes often represents the ultimate solution for container orchestration, but my experience has led me to leave it behind in favor of a simpler, cost-effective solution using Google Cloud Run. This transition has made my infrastructure projects easier to manage, more scalable, and significantly cheaper. Here’s why I made this choice and how Cloud Run offers a better fit for my needs going forward.
