We got around this at my company by just pooling all of the LISTEN/NOTIFY streams into a single database connection in software, here's a sample implementation: function software_listen(channel, callback): if not channel_liste

Sure, I meant "docker" here as a simplification for the OCI format.

It looks like all of the auth data is empty - maybe you logged into an account which doesn't have permission to install on that repository? If you email me at colin@webapp.io with your GitHub account name, webapp.io account (if any), a

Practically - We don't actually require you to use Docker, and we don't use it under the hood. The configuration (which looks like a Dockerfile) can run multiple containers in the same VM: FROM vm/ubuntu:22.04 RUN (install

We do have a caching anycast proxy like fly, render, and other webapp-focused PaaS providers.

We don't actually host docker containers - the configuration DSL is based on Docker, but has crucial differences In particular, you can do things like RUN BACKGROUND docker-compose up EXPOSE WEBSITE 8080 This is super important for mos

It's two environments per unique account - though you can email support to prove you're a real person and get this moved up. We haven't had to formalize any policies, but they'll be similar to other cloud free tiers: - H

We actually just migrated to NextJS this week - so there's still a few hairy bits with the frontend. Thanks for the report, should be fixed now.

Webapp.io's money making part (which facilitates this) is a DevOps company (CI/CD, preview environments, etc) which is already hammered with that sort of thing - see this post (from when we were called LayerCI) discussed by Travis

Hey HN, We recently finished our firecracker-based webapp hosting platform. It's like if Vercel and Docker had a baby: You write VM configurations in a language that looks like a Dockerfile, and every commit creates a preview environme

This was the idea behind https://webapp.io (YC S20): - Run a linear series of steps - Watch which files are read (at the OS level) during each step, and snapshot the entire RAM/disk state of the MicroVM - When you next push

Hey, yeah this looks somewhat similar to what we're building at https://webapp.io (nee LayerCI, YC S20) We migrated to a fork of firecracker, but we're a fully hosted product that doesn't directly interact with GH

It doesn't use a Dockerfile, Kata is a docker-compatible runtime that gives more isolation, Layerfile isn't compatible which lets you have `RUN BACKGROUND` and other VM-only logic that wouldn't otherwise be possible

When I talked to prospective users, the big two that people wanted were: 1. Replacement for Vagrant / docker desktop - you'd hibernate your VM, check out someone else's branch, and start a new environment to avoid breaking yo
