Important to note that AWS doesn’t control spot prices: it’s a market where you bid on what you’re willing to pay. Customers control the cost through their bids.

edit; and prices tend to surge at end of quarter, regardless of provider. I’ve seen that for years at AWS and it’s only increased year over year.

asdf is a pluggable version manager for many languages and tools, not just one language.

Resource patches get richer the further you go out always in vanilla, not just rail world. Richness is a function of distance from your spawn point.

What's the benefit of this over using cert-manager?

I am using a free tier instance in GCP and using tinc to accomplish exactly this. It's not "click and play" but setting it up is simple. If I ever outgrow the f1-micro its easy enough to add another node with a public IP.

It has the added benefit of being a full-on VPN, though I don't generally use it for regular internet browsing.

Specifically in the area of high CPU load tasks. NodeJS is perfectly fine for heavily async tasks, especially calling out to external services. When you have CPU intensive tasks the lack of control over the event loop (task list) can be painful.

It's not 100x as stated by the OP, but I wouldn't use it (async_hooks) in situations where performance is actually a concern. I wouldn't use node there either, but that's besides the point.

async_hooks are 100% usable in production right now, we use it at my current gig for tracing and its had minimal impact on the services using it.

This library doesn't run SQL, its only a template engine that gives you back a parameterized query and parameter array back. It's up to you to actually use them with an adapter, which means you can use prepared statements.

IndexedDB is standardized for IndexedDB, which is not at all designed for use on a backend.

Not only that, it doesn't break anything at all. Referer is a completely optional header, and all this does is introduce a <meta> tag for controlling that. I hope more browsers pick this up soon!

And also let me enforce my own setting.
