I'm seeing "serverless" as a term of art in the cloud services space now.

I'm happy about it, but I'm also feeling a little grumpy-old-man about it (the term, not the concept) because I was into Google App Engine before it was cool.

(GAE is still around, but broadly Google decided that the real money was in chasing Amazon because the companies with big bucks to spend are too control-freak to trust an algorithm someone else came up with to manage their dynamic scaling. This was kinda the beginning of me watching Google decide that "long tail economics" was a myth or, at least, not where the fancy big-denomination dollar bills lived).

The case of Abächerli AG recently showed just how critical and important reliable IT infrastructures are. 📉 The IT provider responsible accidentally deleted all of the company's data, bringing the long-established printing company to the brink of ruin. ❌ This would not have happened with Deploio, because our fully managed app platform, developed and operated in Switzerland, places particular emphasis on data security and integrity. 🚀 #it #reliable #appengine #paas #deploio

@wraptile I tried bottle, Flask is a POS. The sample code & libs do not work. I now avoid it and use #Deno instead.

When #AppEngine cost more than $10 and required more API changes (data api) I wrote my own static #HTML engine based on #Jeckyl (#Python) and when the compile times blew out re-wrote it in #Rust.

Static HTML is the fastest & pretty much hack proof. cc @bluetea

Back in 2008, I whipped up this site with two hundred line hack using a newly created web framework called web.py and a brand new google project, App Engine. From 2008 to today, that’s how #seldomlogical worked.

From the user perspective it looked like plain HTML pages being served. Behind the scenes, code read markdown and converted it to HTML.

❝ Every time my blog ran, a little bit of Aarons code would execute

This was prior to the various web frameworks for python we take for granted today. Web.py utilised WSGI and I chose googles new toy, GAE to run it.
