When testing mobile apps, how do you manage the data at the backend? i.e how do you ensure that data that you see in the app is he same every time and actions during the test do not affect the data for the next test?

When testing the backend in frameworks such as Rails, this is taken care of by seed data and DB transactions.

DuckDB really seems to be having its moment—projects like Evidence and DuckDB GSheets are super cool examples of its potential. And yeah, Postgres’s longevity is insane, it just keeps adapting.

On the AI front, vector databases like Pinecone and pgvector are exciting, but I’d love to see something even more integrated with AI workflows. The possibilities are huge. Curious to hear what others think!

Linear (of linear.app) has a highly polished UI. In fact they had a dedicated period for fixing just usability issues:

Linear has the best UI/UX of all the web apps I have used. After Gmail and Google Maps, I don't recall any other web app wowing me as much as Linear.

This is similar to how Rails handles secrets - https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/security.html#environment...

In Rails, the entire file is encrypted unlike here where only the secrets are

where you worked doesn't matter to me very much, when what are you saying contradicts what you probably did ("experience in large scale systems"), also it sounds like argument from authority.

not having cpu/mem/hdd metrics is just plain bogus and sounds like fantasy world, where everything works like we expect it to work, and there is no bugs at all. ridiculous

You question his competence.

> i feel like you have never touched servers/backend in anything more than simple projects (or at all). with full storage/memory there could be an issue that you won't be able to ssh to the server, so it speaks about your knowledge in this matter.

He was answering that.

If instead of dismissing someone outright and question their competence, you had raised specific concerns, this would have been a more productive conversation

This requires a lot of work from a dev inf team, though. Not as straightforward for an average team.

runs-ons supports custom images - https://runs-on.com/features/byoi/ and caching to S3 - https://runs-on.com/reference/caching/

I haven't used it yet but these two features make it the clear favourite for me in alternate github action runners

boundlessdreamz commented on Show HN: Managed GitHub Actions Runners for AWS · Posted by u/jacobwg

SOLAR_FIELDS · a year ago

One of the most interesting value adds for me is not any of the things mentioned by OP. I would like to have a managed hosted runner solution where I can have a buildkit cache also in the same data center that I manage where I don’t have to pay ingress/egress to that cache but also I don’t have to manage my own runner infra. I have done the whole self hosted Karpenter + Actions Runner Controller thing to achieve this and it is a lot of work to set up and tune to get right.

The problem is actually really that GitHub’s caching offering is very limited for anything except the most basic of use cases and also they don’t offer a way to colo your own cache with them so that you aren’t paying cloud fees back and forth. You have to use their machines, their storage and their protocol which is only really viable if your definition of caching is literally just “upload files here” and “check if the uploaded built file already exists”.

Yes, I’m aware that buildkit offers “experimental” GHA caching support. But given how fat image layers are it’s basically unusable for anything beyond a toy project that builds a couple layers on top of an alpine image (as of the time of writing this post GHA limits cache size to 10gb per repo. Fine if you’re building npm or pypi packages or whatever, but hilariously inadequate for buildkit layer caching)

The depot.dev service has excellent caching for docker. It's almost like building locally.

Though the site (depot.dev) focuses on that aspect, this post doesn't.

@jacobwg - Do the runners in AWS get the same docker caching performance as depot.dev hosted runners?

One of the goal of my own hosted runner project [1] is to display the carbon cost and money cost after each run. Too many people are oblivious of the costs and I think as an industry it would be great to at least get the data points.

This is pretty much exactly what I wanted (yay for custom images) but the pricing makes it a non starter. Please consider a tiered monthly pricing based on build minutes.

These look beautiful, but the react requirement makes it harder for me to want to use them.

As someone whos just built terrible frontends using plain CSS + JS + HTML, what's the currently preferred method for building simple sites that look good? I'm looking for the sweet spot between:

* Gentle learning curve * Powerful * Looks good

I'm currently using Bootstrap because it's what was popular a decade ago the last time I built UIs, but there must have been some advancement since then
