What You Need to Know About ElastiCache Serverless
In the blog post, the emerging trend of serverless solutions is discussed, focusing on AWS ElastiCache Serverless. While acknowledging its innovative approach, our calculation suggests that the pricing model may not be practical for medium to large workloads.
Open source is dead, long live open source!
The post explores the shifting dynamics of open source software in response to evolving business and technological landscapes. It introduces the Business Source License (BSL) as a potential solution to the sustainability challenges faced by open source projects. While traditional open source licenses have fueled collaboration and innovation, the rise of cloud infrastructure has prompted some open source companies to change their licenses to protect their interests. BSL, with its emphasis on code sharing with specific usage restrictions, aims to strike a balance between open source principles and business needs. The post argues that this evolution benefits the developer community by encouraging open innovation and sustainability in the open source ecosystem, ultimately heralding a promising future for open source software.
Rate Limiting with Dragonfly
Rate Limiters are used in software development to regulate the rate of executing actions or accessing resources.
Dragonfly Is Production Ready (and we raised $21m)
