coronapl··on Ask HN: Isn't all SaaS just wrappers?
If you think about it, all software is already an abstraction of hardware by definition.

The real debate might be whether AI is the core technology driving a SaaS product or just an add-on to keep up with current trends. For example, SaaS products used to classify marathon runners’ images likely rely heavily on computer vision AI models—without them, the task would be extremely tedious. On the other hand, AI summarization in an email client is more of a nice-to-have feature than a necessity.

coronapl··on Show HN: Funcy – AWS Lambda strongly typed, best practice
Really cool project! I’ve actually been searching for something like this. I’ve experimented with Hono and tRPC to achieve similar results, but it felt like overkill. I prefer to keep my Lambda functions small, with each one serving only a single API endpoint.
coronapl··on Favorite LLM coding tools besides chat-interface(s) and OpenAI/Claude-Sonnet
There are some interesting options:

  * Codeium  
  * Tabnine  
  * Supermaven  
  * GitHub Copilot
All of these have plugins for VS Code. However, my preferred approach is using an LLM with the Zed editor. You just need to provide an API key of your LLM (GPT-4O in my case). I find the chat panel alongside my code incredibly useful. Additionally, the ability to apply inline transformations to selected code with custom prompts is really useful.
coronapl··on Ask HN: Managed databases that DON'T run in AWS/GCP/Azure?
I'm not sure if it could be useful for your specific use case, but I believe that managed databases on Digital Ocean are more affordable compared to the main cloud providers.
coronapl··on A Gentle Introduction to SAML
Sure! I think Cognito is a decent solution. However, client-app integration can be tricky, and the documentation is quite ambiguous in my opinion. The recommended implementation option is Amplify, but I had concerns because it doesn't support HTTP-only cookies.

I also experimented with NextAuth.js, but its documentation wasn't great, possibly because they're working on a new major version. I struggled particularly with supporting multi-tenancy with Microsoft AD.

I noticed that you offer SAML over OAuth. I'm curious to try that out.

coronapl··on A Gentle Introduction to SAML
I'm glad this company is building an open-source and straightforward solution for SAML integration. I struggled to find the right solution for my product and tried multiple libraries and services, including AWS Cognito.

Diving deep into OAuth and OIDC was crucial. Lesson learned: stick to the basics.
