If you are comparing edge-computing providers, you should also check out EdgeNode (https://edgenode.com/)

Disclaimer: I am building EdgeNode with my friend.

Great post highlighting important considerations before you make the decision to go on edge!

If you do though, you should take a look at https://edgenode.com, which I helped build (we host server-less containers on edge)

Hey HN, we're Sebastian and Mish and we are working on EdgeNode - A global serverless deployment platform. Typically, most applications are hosted in a single location. This makes the experience worse for the users based further away due to high latency. Higher latency leads to decreased conversion rates, impairs user interactions and ultimately reduces customer satisfaction.

Amazon and Google operate their services globally to eliminate this issue and increase service reliability. However, setting up and maintaining such an infrastructure is technically challenging and very costly.

With EdgeNode, we want to enable companies to scale globally in a cost-effective and developer-friendly way.

EdgeNode runs your existing apps (Next.js, Ruby on Rails, Laravel, Spring, Django) or Docker containers globally on the edge, no modifications required. Your application scales down to zero instances when there are no active requests, so you only pay for the resources you use.

We're committed to make global deployments as simple as possible. To achieve that, we will offer a one-click deployment process, eliminating complex configurations and minimizing the time and effort required to get your application up and running on the edge.

Please sign up for Early Access and let us know what you think!

Hey folks, We just released Garph 0.5

Garph enables you to build end-to-end type-safe GraphQL APIs using TypeScript. It aims to provide the best possible DX for GraphQL.

Changelog:

  - Updated the React-client
  - Added GraphQL Subscriptions
  - Cursor-based pagination
  - Included Relay building blocks (nodes, edges, connections)
  - Additional type-safety for resolvers
  - Updated Documentation

Perfect use-case for Garph:

You have a TypeScript backend and TypeScript frontend and want to expose the GraphQL API to third-party consumers or add a mobile app into the mix

And since Garph produces a spec-compatible GraphQL API you can use it with existing tools like Hasura, Apollo, Stellate, AWS AppSync, etc.

> Across all these frameworks, it feels like a footgun your users will discover on their own

Exactly. tRPC and other projects alike don’t provide you an actual API that you can later consume, but an RPC “glue”

Me too! Here are more tRPC-like projects:

- ts-rest (https://ts-rest.com)

- Garph (https://github.com/stepci/garph)

- zodios (https://www.zodios.org)

- Kysely (https://github.com/koskimas/kysely)

> I have strong feelings against test generation

Thanks for your critical feedback.

Could you please tell us more about your strong opinion against test generation?

Thank you for the question!:)

You can generate tests from your OpenAPI definition using the “import from OpenAPI” button on our website.

The tests are generated from your request/response examples. If there are no examples given/available, we will generate examples for you based on the schema provided.

We’re sorry to hear that! Would you mind sharing some context with us?

Our OpenAPI (Swagger) integration is currently in Beta and only available through our website. We acknowledge, that it is not ready for prime-time just yet

Everything we do is open-source. You can see the list of issues in the repository and contribute if possible: https://github.com/stepci/plugin-openapi/issues

Disclaimer: We have tested our OpenAPI integration with the Petstore example and some other API definitions we had available. In both cases the generated tests would run after only some little adjustments

Hi, this is Sebastian from Step CI

Thanks for sharing Venom!

Certainly, there are lots of tools in the space, both SaaS and open-source. Mish and I can name you a few!

However, there’s one thing these tools seem to be missing - a greater goal.

Our vision is to give you a tool that will free you from writing and maintaining API tests ever again - in any shape or form. What you currently see from us is the first step!

Hi, this is Sebastian. We would be very grateful if you could help us with feedback on the demo and validation in general. I am looking forward to chat with you guys. Feel free to also send us a mail at hello@stepci.com
