Yeah not free if you definitely need IPv4. AWS has been adding a lot more IPv6 support to their services so hopefully the trend continues in AWS and the broader industry. You can probably get pretty far though if your app doesn't have hard requirements to communicate with IPv4 only hots.

Abolish NAT Gateways. Lean on gateway endpoints, egress only internet gateways with IPv6, and security groups to batten down the hatches. All free.

Yes, these are both important points. I didn't see any mention of SQLITE_BUSY in the blog post and wonder if that was never configured. Something that people miss quite often.

Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed the breakdown, and great to see small tech companies helping each other out!

A lot of similarities but I believe Turso replicates data between nodes.

Litebase writes data to a tiered storage system (local, network, and object) for easier distribution. Using SQLite's VFS API I've also implemented a different type of storage that allows the primary to write data without full consensus with replicas. It's kind of like a multi-versioned log structured merge tree.

I'm not anti-AI, but I strongly believe the human element of music can be imitated but not fully replicated. Listening back to that song I can hear the attempt to stylistically play slightly off-beat to get the feel of a band playing without a metronome. The auditory illusion is there, but it still sounds off. Playing behind the beat is a feeling; it's not a calculation.

As a drummer keeps time, the band reacts by looking at the drummer’s hands and the sway in their posture. A drummer intensifies their playing as they respond to the feeling of air being pushed from guitar cabinets. A lead guitarist looks back at their friends and smiles when they are about to play that sweet lick that the bass player likes to play along with.

These are just simple examples that make all the difference when you listen back. I also can't imagine paying hundreds of dollars to go see an AI "perform" this solo at a concert. When I listen to music, I'm remembering the moment, the feeling, what the artist was doing to create their art. So still... no thanks!

I've played guitar for 23 years, and there is something just off-putting about most of the music on that page, but particularly "Yellow Bus Jam".

The guitar solo sounds very unnatural, especially the phrasing, which is totally random. Blues musicians are actually attempting to say something through their instrument. This was just a random number generated solo played by a 6 finger three handed robot. No thanks, lol.

This has been a fun project to follow. Great job, Ben! Hope I'll see one of these in a coffee shop, mall, or airport one day.
