ssalat··on WP21
Quick judgments and strong opinions have unfortunately become part of the community.

Having spent the last 2-3 months working excessively on WordPress development, I would like to say a word about the excellent isolation of code with blocks ("Gutenberg"). As standalone plugins or in combination with Advanced Custom Fields, these allow for perfect, modular websites and development flows (design system), where even the HTML is 100% in your own hands. I can recommend everyone to understand and learn WordPress properly.

– no relation or connection to WordPress.

ssalat··on Show HN: Formula8.ai – A formula-based approach to AI prompts
We use https://github.com/architect/architect for provisioning and deployment of the functional web app via GitHub Actions (…whenever they work — availability was not that great the recent weeks)

Tests are based on Cypress (https://www.cypress.io).

For the UI/UX we work with https://tailwindui.com and paid them for their great work.. saves a lot of time building React components.

We've never received this email either...

100% definitely not! It's a specific IAM key only for the use of DATADOG.
ssalat··on Ask HN: Alternatives to AWS?
They're already too successful, if that customer support doesn't change we're migrating to other providers and diversify our hosting environment.

BTW – we always designed everything that there is no heavy lock-in on any provider, I would recommend that anybody else as well!

ssalat··on Ask HN: Alternatives to AWS?
Yes, this is absolutely not transparent!
ssalat··on Ask HN: Alternatives to AWS?
Sure – like I've written above: we're paying now and don't receive any response either!
ssalat··on Ask HN: Alternatives to AWS?
Good question! AWS is currently getting a mess for us.

We're facing an auto scaling spot instance bug (it's definitely one) and we're trying since 3 days to contact anybody from them to get our business back on to the road!

We're now forced to sign-up for a paid support plan. Nevertheless, they already breached the SLA of 12 hours, it's really frustrating...

First thought after 5 years of paying them a lot of money to migrate somewhere else (e.g. Google).

It's always ciritcal if you lose your customer contact by implementing strange support barriers to earn 3$ more.

A not anymore happy AWS customer

ssalat··on Google Will Soon Shame All Websites That Are Unencrypted

Still not solved... calm down Google!

ssalat··on Amazon Elasticsearch Service
Amazon has more possiblities to run a really huge cluster and balance the different load peaks of the search nodes. The whole business model of AWS is based on this... but you're right as well, price isn't everything and comfort worth money. And yes, I love RDS as well, especially Aurora... it's a great deal!
ssalat··on Amazon Elasticsearch Service
This new aws service offer is really boring, I don't see a real advantage migrating to it anytime soon.

What will be the expectation here:

- Autoscaling functionalities out of the box

- Better speed than on regular EC2 instances (I/O, Network)

- More visiblity, better monitoring out of the box (e.g. Marvel)

- Lower pricing than running on plain EC2

Still a long way to go here...
