You should rethink this policy. Someone could panic and do something unthinkable, then you'd wish bad press was the only thing on your conscious.
homerjam··on Ask HN: I love to be alone. But this loneliness is killing me
This resonates with me a lot. I feel like I'm cutting people off and making poor choices in pursuit of "freedom" but in reality only becoming more lonely. I moved to Lisbon this year and recently started to see a therapist which I'm hoping will help. I would definitely recommend giving that a try. And if you're also in Portugal I'm looking for friends : )

This is really exciting. All I'd like now is Prisma integration, and pricing info : )

I place high value on simplicity and portability so despite not being fully optimal a monolithic docker app is a good choice for me.

The reason I'm still on DO is because I need dependencies that are both large and trivial to install in docker vs. creating a custom EC2 image. To make it clear I was hoping to deploy a docker container with ffmpeg to support long running video conversions whilst benefiting from easy deploys and on demand pricing. It seems like the potential for this alluded to in the serverless docker announcement has been removed?

I can see how this V2 makes serverless simpler but the strict limits will mean that transitioning a monolithic app requires a lot of work up front. Increasing the limits would reduce that friction greatly. Whilst not best practice deploying an existing express app and have it 'just work' is a compelling reason to go serverless.

Can anyone offer an explanation of how this impacts docker based deploys? Since the serverless docker announcement in August I've been hoping to move off of DO to now but it sounds like that won't be possible with a 5mb cap...?

Compared to Oauth it's a cakewalk.
