Why HN links it
HN readers link eigr.io for material on Eigr, a stateful serverless project built on the BEAM (Erlang VM), including its project history after Cloudstate. The comments cite it as background, not as praised writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Serverless systems in almost every implementation are still stateless or limited stateful-serverless (the best examples are probably Microsoft's Durable Functions or Flink's Stateful Functions - there's also solid attempts by the Akka folks). These are largely built on top of either a stream processing (in case of Flink) or some flavor of Actor model based on event sourcing for peristence. What I'm getting at is tha…

HN discussionSeems rather quiet. from https://eigr.io/docs/history/ Why on the BEAM? The decision to switch technical grounds was mainly guided by the fact that Cloudstate went into hibernation mode, and it made no sense to re-implement the Cloudstate proxy in Scala and use Akka Cluster itself again. Going with Go or Rust would have been an option. But we realized early on, that competing in a way with the excellent work of the…
