Even if it is 10x cheaper and 2x worse it's going to eat up even more tokens spinning its wheels trying to implement things or squash bugs and you may end up spending more because of that. Or at least spending way more of your time.
phildougherty··on Launch HN: Onyx (YC W24) – Open-source chat UI
I wasn't trying to be a hater, i think it is great they got funded for this. It just felt like there are so many free options and alternatives out there that are addressing basically the same things (and look almost exactly the same) it genuinely surprised me.

Alexa skills are 3rd party add-ons/plugins. Want to control your hue lights? add the phillips hue skill. I think claude skills in an alexa world would be like having to seed alexa with a bunch of context for it to remember how to turn my lights on and off or it will randomly attempt a bunch of incorrect ways of doing it until it gets lucky.

phildougherty··on DigitalOcean App Platform
A little tidbit: everything you deploy on App Platform comes with DDoS protection built in.
phildougherty··on DigitalOcean App Platform
There are various areas where App Platform pricing is in your favor, including the initial getting started pricing for services on both the basic and pro plan, as well as the cost of databases as you scale beyond the cheapest plan on Render. App Platform supports custom domains today, but we do plan to roll out enhanced functionality around domain management very soon. Today we support pre/post-deploy jobs with cron job coming soon, as well as a persistent storage solution. In addition, beyond the $7 price point we support MySQL/Redis/Postgres as opposed to just Postgres. We will also be rolling out App Platform to many more of our DigitalOcean regions very soon and have an exciting roadmap what we can't wait to get built out and released. Thanks so much for checking out the product and providing your feedback.
phildougherty··on DigitalOcean App Platform
Thanks for your feedback on the pricing plans. We will definitely take a look at options and potentially roll out some additional plans soon.
phildougherty··on DigitalOcean App Platform
Thanks for the clarification. We do plan to implement hard limits in the autoscaling feature.
phildougherty··on DigitalOcean App Platform
That feature is on the roadmap!

We will be revealing a lot more about the architecture at our upcoming virtual conference called Deploy that is happening Nov 10-11th. There are a few sessions that touch on how the platform was implemented and I encourage you to tune in for those! (schedule to be announced soon). https://www.digitalocean.com/deploy/
