I wrote the post in notion which converts "--" to emdashes automatically.

It's an honest opinion that I had put into a blog post. It's written by me, though I did use LLMs to review and improve it (no copy pasting). I still feel like the analogy between early browsers and the current state of AI stands. There is in a sense a war being fought out and there are emerging standard and there is lot's of glue around that to make it work.

The war part is more about the competing AI companies. It's meant to be an analogy to the "browser wars" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_wars). Not meant to be BS, I just wanted to use the terms that were used during the early days of browsers.

That looks very interesting. Though, we’re also a hosting platform in addition to the nice APIs and SDKs. Plus, we provide observability and much more. Still, something to explore. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing and adding us to your list. The point about the lambdas is fair, though we do support other execution modes to combat this. Please let me know if you have any feedback or encounter hiccups :)

Thanks for pointing that out. Ultimately, we wanted to strike a balance between being fair and open to the community, welcoming contributions, and ensuring that people can self-host without having to worry about licensing issues, while also ensuring that Metorial, as a company, can exist and work on OSS sustainably. This isn't easy and I don't think there's a right answer. To us FSL strikes a pretty good balance. Allowing the community to use and participate while ensuring that Metorial makes sense as a business as well.

That's a really interesting point. We've actually been discussing this quite a bit. We felt like putting an emphasize on the "dev tool" aspect (like Vercel) makes more sense, but the way you put it we might want to reconsider that. Thank for your interest!

Haha, good thing we launched today. Thank you so much for the encouraging words!
