ujnproducton Ask HN: How do you manage your “family data warehouse”?

Interesting. TIL

Beautiful.

Love the landing page - beautiful!

ujnproducton We'll pay you $25 to use our Open Source Terraform Cloud Alternative

Why are we doing this?

We built digger to enable teams to be able to run terraform plan/apply within their existing CI. The tool is entirely open-source and we are looking for feedback and contributions. This would also help us spread the word amongst terraform cloud users.

All you have to do is use the quick start guide in our github repo below, and after you've used it or tested it, send me (utpal) a slack (link below) message of your email and I can send the gift card over!

Only constraint is that you are an active Terraform Cloud/ Spacelift/ Atlantis/ Env0 user and understand the problem space.

Thanks all - genuinely appreciate your feedback and contributions!

Agreed.

ujnproducton Just migrated our Open Source project to Golang

Digger is a Github Action that runs Terraform plan and apply with PR-level locks. The idea is that terraform jobs run natively in your Github Actions - no need to share sensitive data with another CI system. There's no need to deploy and maintain a backend service either. We migrated from Python to Golang yesterday. None of the team had experience with golang, but we managed to migrate in a week. Here's why we did it:

Faster runtimes (upto 30x faster)

Can be compiled into single binary, advantages for Github actions is that we don’t need to wrap action into Dockerfile.

Easy to compile binary to multiple platforms, it helps us run from same codebase.

Interface based development , more guarantees about the code correctness by the compiler when compared to using Python.

Golang is more popular in the DevOps and infrastructure community, we can find several libraries and reuse them in our code.

Would love to hear from HN on our code quality! Please be as critical as possible!

Have you heard of Vipassana meditation? They do something similar, but you are allowed to eat. It isn't for 1 day though, but for 10. Link here - https://www.dhamma.org/en/

ujnproducton Show HN: Create a paid link to anything

This is an amazing product & given that gumroad has recently increased prices, the timing could not have been better. But information architecture of the landing page needs to change. I am left with the following questions after reading the content on the website.

1. How much margin does the platform charge? 2. Why can't I see a preview to what I am paying for? 3. How is it better than Gumroad, Stripe and others? Margins, ease of use etc, whatever your arguments are, I would love a detailed explanation.
