After founding Invertase and leading the technical vision for the last 8 years, my employment there has come to an end and it's time to move on to new adventures. Excited for what's next - I'll be sharing more soon.

3 days ago I opened an issue with a performance degradation in Flutter (#165959), it was triaged in 3h, response from someone that could fix the issue (Jonah) in 7h, draft PR up after 8h, and now the PR is merged! Thanks for an incredibly fast response from the Flutter team on this! 💙

@cloudflare.social workers if not self hosting, + KV, Durable Objects, D1, Queues & R2 etc - powerful @bun.sh if self hosting to build the api, @coolify.io to run on the servers, postgres, clickhouse or sqlite for DB depending on what im doing, Redis for caching, jobs queues etc

110

Mike Diarmid @mikediarmid.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

depends if you are using compute instances on GCP or serverless Cloud Run/functions Serverless gives you low initial cost until your product scales, migration from that to serverful at a later date would be more time consuming However serverful to serverful would be lift & shift with dns changes

110

Mike Diarmid @mikediarmid.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

Love hetzner, use it for anytime I need raw compute or to host something non standard that would cost too much elsewhere I still favour convenience of not self-hosting when the cost is low or it will always fall into the free or low tier of a provider like Cloudflare

110

Mike Diarmid @mikediarmid.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

self host does significantly reduce cost but comes with extra maintenance overhead, Coolify from @heyandras.dev helps significantly with that I project I did would have cost around $7k p/m on GCP, self host through hetzner ~$300p/m - this was hundreds of cores and ram - which you won't need

120

Mike Diarmid @mikediarmid.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

- if not afraid of self host then @coolify.io (oss) + servers from Hetzner, preferably the Ampere range for pricing, e.g. CAX21 @ ~€7 p/m would likely be more than efficient + either dns from cloudflare to mask IPs or a CF worker to load balance between more than 1 server for failovers if concerned

211

Mike Diarmid @mikediarmid.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

I see, I'd recommend either: - @cloudflare.social workers, at about $5 p/m you'd likely have everything hosted within the included limits with no overage needed yet. e.g. host api with workers, D1 sql for DB, R2 for asset storage + make heavy use of the free Cache API in the worker or, 1/2

100

Mike Diarmid @mikediarmid.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

I see, how much data would you estimate on the database? e.g. <10gb or something much higher Do you how often would the api called? E.g. ballpark RPS or total requests in a month, and could the type of data it returns be heavily cached?

110

Mike Diarmid @mikediarmid.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

What's the tech stack that is serving these users? (e.g. what db, webserver etc)

Playing around with the working-in-progress 3D capabilities of Flutter (using Impeller and Flame 3D) The "world" is made out of multiple chunks, each chunk is it's own mesh with a single surface of 16x16 tiles (4 vertices per tile). Running at max FPS on both my iPhone and macOS ⚡

Started on a new approach yesterday: pixel based canvas renderer that is using half block ascii characters to increase pixel density - interleaved with text support Let's see how this goes 😂

Mike Diarmid @mikediarmid.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

That one is cool but it is written in rust though and uses an embedded flutter engine - so it's not portable for making any kind of cli installed through pub.dev What I'm working on is pure Dart with a sprinkle of FFI 😅
