I would love for the authors to consider a book on Hyperscript.
I initially dismissed wanting to add another scripting language to an app, but after some experimenting I have used it to replace 100s of lines of JS. Mainly for UI animations.
It’s not for the faint of heart, but enjoyable to learn.
I find the docs difficult to follow and would enjoy another hardback manual to sit next to this book, which is superb.
I have a lot of sites on netlify and a number of domains managed under the business tier. It would take a long time to recover if they were nuked in one go.
They really should have guard rails in place for this as well as uncapped usage.
I am a business user with netlify. I have unlimited functions calls on that plan (fair use of course!) and use their JWT protection that redirects to a login site at the cdn level, so you can rate limit. Not a solution for public static sites though! You are metered on the starter and pro plans after the starting limits.
They seem to have dropped that plan now.
I was starting to move back to traditional hosting as these platforms are convenient, but you do lose control and get hammered for their addon services and simple things like static ips are beyond them, even if you offer to pay.
Also, if their cdn is naughty listed, corporate networks may block your site as you are sharing pro and business plans with free sites that maybe serving malware etc.
Hearing this story has pushed me to move.
I hope they sort that for you, they really should have the ability to protect a site and let you choose what to do if you are exceeding your limits.
Yes. Usually the service grinds and slows. This was a sudden auth failure - quite strange! You can’t help but think it is more than capacity - or maybe I am getting carried away with the soap opera.
