02/21/2019, 8:21 PMDoes digital ocean offer something comparable to aws lambda? - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:21 PMsince there is no auth in prisma, all the auth is in the apollo-server level(I use auth0) - c

02/21/2019, 8:21 PM@taikn I don't think DO has a serverless providert- 2

02/21/2019, 8:22 PMDO is pretty much, dead simple instances(though they have been adding more to it) - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:22 PMbut they are a lot cheaper - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:22 PMthere is definitely not a "this is the best" - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:22 PMI have had a lot of issues with lambda on my own projects for actually hosting on demand things - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:22 PMI think its been great for background jobs - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:23 PMbut I always run into issues with "warming it up" - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:23 PMwhen like having a graphql server on it, or rest server or whatever - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:23 PMwhere initial requests are slow as molasses, or I am keeping it warm and its essentially on anyways, - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:23 PMbut I am not an expert in any way, just my experience - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:23 PMfor processing jobs it is an amazing tool - p
protzman
02/21/2019, 8:24 PMyeah afaik at re-invent:2018 amazon said they were working on the whole warmup thing - p
protzman
02/21/2019, 8:24 PMbut - amazon - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:24 PMyea, they have been saying that for a while - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:24 PMseveral times ive gone back to it because I have heard its fixed, or way better - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:24 PMand I kind of get the same issues - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:25 PMit seems like it would be inherit, if the instance isn't running its gonna take time to kick start it up and handle the request, im sure it will get faster and faster - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:25 PMbut will it be as fast as the same server sitting there waiting for the request already loaded? - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:25 PMI dunno - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:26 PMhowever it has other great benefits like being able to infinitely scale as demand comes in, not something I have needed since I am a small potato - p
protzman
02/21/2019, 8:26 PMyeah no idk haha. you seem much smarter which is why im the one asking the questions 😂 - p
protzman
02/21/2019, 8:26 PMappreciate the time / responses tho!! - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:27 PMno prob, I am a frontend guy so my in depth knowledge of large backend apps and scaling and stuff, take it for a grain of salt - p
protzman
02/21/2019, 8:27 PMbut anyways - go prisma 🤟 - p
protzman
02/21/2019, 8:27 PMyeah same lol - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:27 PMyea, one thing about prisma and apollo server - c
CCBCodeMonkey
02/21/2019, 8:27 PMis I could at least switch prisma out if I ever need to
