Btw User.find returns an empty array if it doesn't find anything and a non empty array if it does. In both cases the if condition is true. The person in question tried to solve this by adding a. ! Making a forever true condition to a forever false one.

This isn't my code :')

@Lor-inc yeah I kinda knew lambda would be better but I just wanted to find out the factor by which it was better on the free tier. A 10x factor surprised me a little is all.

@Vovixis oh cool, well good luck man :)

@arcsector oh I just wanted to compare what id be getting out of the free tier.

@Vovixis bot?

@SortOfTested 3 ide's woah!!! I can't seem to think of a practical case where I'd need vscode, intellij and webstorm. I'm curious.

My first time performing such a test, so I'm also not 100% sure on how to interpret the results. I'm also a little confused on how these threads affect no. of connections.

i'm sure there's a random asian in there with a 2$ bid. Really lowers my self-esteem and pricing confidence when quoting others.

i guess only i can answer my vague questions with a simple test, will attempt and post results here. thanks for the input guys.

@AlmondSauce and what about the database, does dynamo limit this in any way (the ~100 free ops/second looks alright but lesser than the ~2500 ops/second a mongo database could offer)
maybe i could just use lambda + mongo on ec2. Then again if ec2 can't keep up with the requests it's the same problem all over again.

@dan-pud Well i have no real time experience with scaling, so having it handled automatically would be great but i also want to make the wiser choice with costs in mind, spending more hours on either isn't a bother for me since i'm a learner. So my decision lies where the money is easier, long-term setting in mind. If a simple t1.micro can handle more concurrent requests than the free tier lambda then the t1.micro would be my goto option, the bottleneck appears to be with the database though which is why i wanted to know mongo vs. dynamoDb(free tier) concurrent read/writes per second. I've seen people saying mongo supports 2500 ops/s (not sure how this plays out with t1.micro) which makes dynamodb's ~100 ops/s quite meager.

@yellow-dog imma take a look at that, haven't considered going the sql route and i always thought PaaS was costlier than IaaS.

@AlmondSauce well it's for a small project ~6 months, once we have the PoC, we'd like to scale further whilst keeping the costs low. While lambda+dynamo is technically free i've noticed their post limits service is quite heavy with the costs. t1.micro is about 5$/mo give or take after the first year. Anyways, with the free tier in mind i just wanted to be aware of what i'm getting and how they compare with sheer perf and no other variables in mind.

firstly, just noticed i used the "rant" tag for this so i'm sorry about that

Well can you tell me about it? Maybe I'd find it interesting as well.

@AvyChanna I've seen that article a bunch of times, it doesn't seem to explain what happens to non eventful code like the future's internal http code in my question.

@metamourge wait so you're saying, the vm interpreter which prolly is written in c/c++ has a tendency to multi thread while interpreting the code in a threaded way.

Umm... I'm a lil confused. Wouldn't that be multi threaded in general?

Edit:
Youre saying we don't have to "care" about it. Gotcha. Multi threading happens automatically in a sense with single threaded code.. Umm this is weirdly difficult to think about XD need a pen and paper. I won't be afraid to tag you again for more discussion xD

@irene hmm that's unfortunate but he does appear to be using the app tho.

@SukMikeHok you sound like a walking and talking meme. No particular offense but i wanted to leave that out there.

Game dev isn't the hardest programming type there is, it's relatively different cause of the physics involved.

Similar statements could be said about any simulator. Industrial or personal.

Imo the hardest type of programming is the one that makes least sense to the one who made it to begin with. This happens a lot when writing code with c and opengl.. A step further would be prolly Fortran... I ain't sure. Assembly for each processor is definitely the hardest out there. Logic and algorithm is critical along with the instruction set.

@erandria it's amazing experience developing a game, I'm 21 now and I've been thinking about it for 4 years. Finally getting around to it... I've completed a lot of stuff to do with linear algebra. Quaternions still confuse me though.

@Fast-Nop account based kill files? Care to elaborate? Sounds interesting.

Honestly had no idea, that a lot of energy and time was already wasted trying to make this (abandoned?) project better. Had no clue about what happened tbh.

I guess I'm more dissapointed now, nothing can be done? Pains to hear that.

@JoshBent damn you put that much work into it, lol I guess I am being quite ambitious by trying to implement a rant classifier.

@irene dfox abandoned the project???? Excuse me what???

@Fast-Nop hey you forgot the "please up vote my stuff cause I need the stress bal in my blood to live" rants

@uyouthe the happy aggressive mood was a reference to some of the old ranters here. I did a crappy job at it, Though worry not I had my fair share of smiles when making it.

@Gregozor2121 I did beat myself about it if that helps.

@Haxk20 totally, so many amazing ranters left. I even looked up to this one guy who went by the username "Letmecode" or something like that. I'm not sure if this was why he left, but a lot of other people did for this reason and I'm not happy bout it.

@irene the "rant" classifier here doesn't show rants to me... I still get dumb ass jokes that aren't rants... Actually most of them. It works on tags so if someone tagged something wrong it's not going to verify?
