Building https://www.gumlet.com

Streaming video is still hard to do for a developer today and we are solving that with scalable and cheap infra for streaming.

This change finally helped our company move to typescript.

Just converted many of services to TS and some are WIP. It’s a big win.

We use libvips as well sir. We can't overstate how much we benefit from your work!

We regularly donate to project via open collective. We frankly did not see here due to FB involvement I think.

Jason, here is a story about how much your work impacts us. We run a decently sized company that processes hundreds of millions of images/videos per day. When we first started about 5 years ago, we spent countless hours debugging issues related to memory fragmentation.

One fine day, we discovered Jemalloc and put it in our service, which was causing a lot of memory fragmentation. We did not think that those 2 lines of changes in Dockerfile were going to fix all of our woes, but we were pleasantly surprised. Every single issue went away.

Today, our multi-million dollar revenue company is using your memory allocator on every single service and on every single Dockerfile.

Thank you! From the bottom of our hearts!

For website hosting, it's okay but not great. We encountered issues when we tried to cache a lot of images. Their CDN storage seems really low compared to Cloudflare and Cloudfront. It results in a really bad hit ratio the moment we try to deliver a lot of images.

It’s time saas apps realise that they can’t make 2.5x normal license money by just sticking AI to it.

In our SaaS we added it for free. We realised that there is no way to sustainably make money off of this in long term.

It’s a great feature but not 2.5x price worth feature.

Yes, App Platform. Pricing is a little higher but way lower than AWS but it is fully justified. Zero downtime in the last 1 year.

With Fly, we had 3-4 downtimes in 2023 in a span of 4 months.

We left it about a year ago due to reliability issues. We now use digitalocean apps and working like a charm. Zero downtime with DO.

For image processing, use a proper SaaS dedicated to it: https://www.gumlet.com/image-optimization/

These servers are indeed job processing servers. They are critical but not milliseconds critical. Cooling, security, monitoring, backup generators, and backup of data all are taken care of.

3 years is what we planned. Any extra time we get will be a plus.

Yes, UPS + 2 independent power lines. Our server has a dual power input PSU. If either power fails, the other one keeps it running.

Nice ideas, but we have chosen a really simple Kubernetes deployment. We only install the host OS (ubuntu server) and then join the self-hosted GPUs as workers in a Kubernetes cluster.

No other task is needed and our Grafana monitors if the server (and its containers) are up and running.

We bought 21. This is just a start.

Tailscale :) We, fortunately, don't need these exposed to the internet so Tailscale works beautifully.
