What features or games are you most excited to explore with Dosbian?
Have you considered adding support for visualizing query results directly within the interface?
While Andrej's advice may offer useful tips, it's important to consider that success strategies can vary significantly among individuals. What works for one person might not work for another due to different learning styles, backgrounds, and circumstances. Additionally, the educational landscape has evolved since 2013, so some advice may be outdated. Always critically evaluate any guidance and adapt it to your personal situation.
what are the limitations
Why is it better than code? trying to figure out if it's worth integrating with tau (github.com/taubyte/tau)
Amazing that SQLite Online has survived solo for 11 years. What technical or business pivots have kept it alive (and relevant) across changing web stacks and user expectations?
Interesting project — how does Decipad handle versioning and collaboration compared to tools like Notion or Observable?
neither the knative controller nor the underlying kubernetes scales down to zero.
easy to deploy, built-in CI/CD, CDK and coming-up this month is spore-drive, a tool you can use to deploy and update tau on all your hosts with one command.
it's developer-first, has a built in CI/CD, can do serverless, multi-hosts & scales across locations has a CDK and more. granted, it does not orchestrate containers as of today. for compute, WebAssembly (wasm) is used. but container runtime on the road-map for this year.
how does k8s implement scale-to-zero?
tau handles redundancy, high availability and scaling for you.
I agree, the CI module name is not the best. While whiteboarding the concept with the team, this http://en.spongepedia.org/index.php?title=Hooky_%28Episode%2... episode from sponge bob found it way to the discussion so we called it `patrick`.
Great feedback. We're working on some of these.
they have servers in many regions
yes. the cool thing is with tau servers can be in different locations.
looking at https://www.hetzner.com/sb/:
- you can build a beefy cloud for less than €150/mo!
- plus you can run LLM inference (check https://github.com/ollama-cloud) for another €150/mo per node
not bad!
right now, that is true. Seer (the dns service) returns all nodes that register with it, regardless of location. That said, we're working in adding advanced logic there that will: - take location into consideration - allows the execution of wasm code (we call smartops) to define custom logic
yes. tau will take care of versioning your deployed code just like git does. internally even the registry is versioned using branches and commits.
thanks!
dream allows you to run tau locally and even write E2E unit tests.
we always try to have cool names :)
why would that be?
as cal85 said, The appeal of serverless for me is simplicity. that said, tau will support containers and even VMs by the end of the year
love NATS. tau is about the developer experience and speed of development. Integrating and maintaining nex is not something every dev can do
we don`t use a full IPFS, but more like a lite version. it allow us to retrieve data quickly, cache and duplicate. check this article https://blog.ipfs.tech/2020-02-14-improved-bitswap-for-conta...
When it comes to scale, ipfs basic discovery mechanism (the dht) does not do that well. This is why we have services like tns (which is a replicated registry) that allows it to scale.
the script downloads the latest release. it's still one binary you can deploy yourself or compile with `go build`. the script is really there to automate some steps. next release a new tool `spore-drive` will allow to deploy all your nodes running one command.
for the `/tb` folder, I see your point, i would love to discuss it further if you can open an issue on github.
why?
sorry about that. it's true our doc is so so... we're working on it.
Especially when scaling beyond one server. The next Tau release will include `spore-drive`, a tool for deploying and updating on thousands of servers with a single command.
