HN discussionI think you can store emails but process them only in an anonymizing publicly auditable proxy, ensuring that downstream business services do not have plaintext access whilst still being able to send outbound emails whenever you want.

HN discussionCloud Run is a more flexible lambda, but with a slightly worse cold starts, but much better concurrency story. See https://futurice.com/blog/openresty-a-swiss-army-proxy-for-s... where I shoved a scale to zero nginx proxy in a lambda-like container.

HN discussionExactly which part of that thread leads you to believe that "React plays just fine with Web Components". I suggest you watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0TD0efcwVg which gives a very clear picture of the current state of React/Web Component interaction, including the challenges associated with it. edit: another good read if you're interested: http://futurice.com/blog/combining-react-flux-and-web-compon...

HN discussionNot just IP problems, but also encourages bad work habits. His company should of sponsored this work if they felt it was in their best interest.

HN discussionInteresting, I've been playing with React/Flux a bit lately. I enjoy them more than other JS frameworks, but agree it doesn't feel like it's quite right yet.

HN discussionI like Cloud Run a lot as an evolution of Cloud Functions. It has the ability to scale to 0 docker containers. My OpenResty API gateway takes 400ms to spin up and can serve a ton of traffic concurrently ( https://futurice.com/blog/openresty-a-swiss-army-proxy-for-s... ). This is much better and cheaper than minimum scale of 1 Fargate containers IMHO. There are a lot of legacy things you can put in Cloud Run (e.g. JV…

HN discussionIn my previous job at the Finnish software consulting company Futurice ( http://futurice.com ), there was a long discussion about this that ended with a volunteer-based publication of peoples salaries - around half of the 200 people opted in.
