I've been working on a cross platform screenshot/screen recording tool with a built in editor:

Managed to snag a cool domain for it too!

Would love any feedback from anyone that tries it

I never used Shuttle but you could try Railway[1]. I have a few rust services there costing me pennies per month due to the low resource usage[2]

You hook your repo up and it does a good job figuring out what you need. Not much to it really :)

Show HN: sjl – Simple JSON Logger for Rust

josevalerio — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 02:09:02 +0000

I made this little logger because logging JSON without escaped strings seemed really unintuitive.

I hope you find it useful!

Not OP but it consistently says that logging JSON (specifically nested JSON while not having escaped strings) with the tracing crate is not possible or provides wrong solutions.

However this is doable, just under an experimental feature flag since 2022[1]. I created this repo[2] with a small blog post, hopefully the scrapers can pick it up :')

Just FYI that interview is for Multigres, a sharded Postgres in development by Supabase.

Declare your connection outside of your handler function - this post is from 2017 but it shows it clearly:

It will get re-used across lambda invocations as long as the instance of it isn't killed which typically happens after a few minutes

Don’t those volume discounts kick in once you’re doing near 1PB? You’re still paying “normal” CloudFront prices all the way up and it also varies per region :$

Here’s a tweet from Corey Quinn describing how bonkers R2 pricing is:

> let’s remember that the internet is 1-to-many. If 1 million people download that 1GB this month, my cost with @cloudflare R2 this way rounds up to 13¢. With @awscloud S3 it’s $59,247.52.

As others have stated, Cloudflare is the best solution here. Other services like AWS WAF will charge you just for validating requests, which means even if the DDOS is mitigated, you're still paying for it to inspect each request and then block it, which now turns it to a denial of wallet attack.
