MCP would be a nice addition

Remote MCP could even allow you to share it with coworkers so they don't have to run anything

I usually use Claude Code but sometimes I find myself using chat and then when it creates an artifact sometimes I just want more flexibility or less restrictions. I might be missing something but I found it surprisingly hard to actually push an artifact to a custom URL. This was okay with Netlify as a connector, but I quickly ate through the free credits.

Unfortunately the Cloudflare connector surprisingly didn't expose the way to publish a site with just static files So I ended up having Claude just write the files to a folder with a script and a wrapper worker to make it all work and then everything was manual to republish.

Seems like if you have this all bundled up via MCP you can add as connector to chat and then get the same experience. But not sure if this is over engineered or if there's an easier way.

Any rough guesses on when that could happen? Weeks, months, or next year? Depending on the plans, I'd consider waiting for a Workers-based solution for an upcoming project instead of working on a Cloud Run based deployment.

I see CPU mentioned a bit, but nothing about memory. It seems like 128 MB isn't enough to run Nuxt.js (Vue server-side rendering), but it would be awesome to be able to run that (or Next.js for React) at the edge. I haven't actually tried yet on Workers, but they seem to recommend 512 MB memory for App Engine for example.

Are Cloudflare's machine sizes unsuitable for being able to offer more memory as an option?

Comparison doc in the future would be great!

It sounds like there's a bit of overlap. If I'm not up and running yet and just want the most managed solution (least work to run, with the most powerful high level features), is one of these a clear choice?

In my case, I don't care as much about low level access, but I just want my app to run quickly and efficiently. App Engine Flex's ability to run multiple services within an application, get load balancing set up, have versions of the app for testing and rollbacks, etc seems great. However, overall I just want to the easiest way to run my stateless set of services.

When would you use Cloud Run vs App Engine Flex?

Doesn't App Engine Flex essentially help you run an app in a container and handle scaling too?

For example, what if you're running a stateless JVM app like something on Play Framework. Could you run it on either App Engine Flex or Cloud Run, and if so, what considerations would there be for choosing one over the other?

I believe this is a performance optimization to limit what's actually in the DOM for large documents. The code editor is fairly common and is also used by Google Tag Manager, but it annoys the heck out of me too.

Thanks for insights here. Funny you mention split shipments because that's a current tricky area for me and one I wish my commerce system could handle. I create potentially many shipments from orders right now based on inventory, the types of add-ons chosen, where the buyer is, and current workload. Unfortunately right now, this is all done in a separate system so it's difficult to provide customers with good visibility on shipping times of each product up front.

I'm developing internally as a retailer. Having millions of coupon codes or gift cards is important for sales and doing deals with partners or sites like Groupon. Then, with many items across many categories, as well as tons of add-on options, application and stacking of multiple rules needs to be powerful, but it seems like Spree now provides all the tools to make that manageable.

Thanks that's good to know. Since I'm selling personalized things I'd probably keep all of the abondoned carts around so they're still there when people return. My current database stores all the abandoned carts in serialized blobs with Java objects so anything is better than that for maintenance!

Glad to hear the models are sane. I'm trying to get off a horribly convulted system with many issues and have been keeping my eye on Spree for years. Any thoughts about choosing Spree vs Solidus at the point?

I basically have custom frontend everywhere including some of checkout and account pages, so I mainly need to replace cart and payments and checkout and may try to integrate at the API level and handle all UI custom.

I have a bunch of requirements that may need plugins: - Volume pricing - Personalization such that some products can exist in the cart multiple times, but each item has a unique ID - Upsells / add-ons for personalized product. I currently handle this hierarchy outside the cart, but it's brittle. There are thousands of different options per product and they change all the time. Quantities of these have different syncing rules in terms of their quantity vs their parent combined with quantities from an external data source e.g. address book. - Social login, potentially adding login and payments with Amazon. Pondering if it'd be best to go with Auth0.

Promotions seem really powerful which is good, because I use them heavily and would want to add custom ones.

Any thoughts, insights, suggestions given these goals? Looking to support 100k products and millions of promotions.

What about Spree / Solidus?

It seems like many developers prefer this newer Rails-based shop to Magento in terms of being able to customize. I've been contemplating moving a medium sized shop to it given that it seems relatively easy to customize, but nobody has mentioned it here.

Anybody have any experience or input on either of these?

Among the open source router options, what's the best for multi-WAN and flexible QoS?

I was looking at switching from ASUS on Merlin to Tomato for better QoS and to try out multi-WAN that was added in shibby about a year ago. I really want the internet to be reliable and fail over to a 2nd connection and then back fairly seamlessly.

Am I better off using pfSense (or something else) vs trying one of these integrated router/wireless firmwares?

Years ago I started looking for multi-WAN and got the very disappointing Linksys / Cisco RV042. It worked, but the interface was crap and it lacked a lot of the features that even consumer routers had. For an office of up to 50 people (and 2x devices) we've been using an ASUS RT-AC66R on Merlin and it's worked pretty well in that it's rock solid stable for many months at a time, has a bit of features - now including nice graphs for per-host bandwidth monitoring, and basic QoS and multi-WAN. The biggest issue is that QoS options are limited and it's hard to know if it's even working properly. The multi-WAN auto failover seems buggy and that seems like an area that Merlin hasn't touched.
