I work for a non-Heroku tech vendor, and I have always spoken highly of Heroku to my customers from my past experience of going all-in on Heroku, and receiving a top quality of support from Heroku back in 2017-2019. I'm going to point folks to the recent Hacker News threads now.
It is difficult for me to understand why Salesforce is not aware of the strength of the Heroku brand among experienced technology workers, and how much they have destroyed that brand in the last 2-3 years.
Good point. There is: a HFC modem & 2x Google Wifi access points. Totals to about 15W of energy use - which only leaves enough energy budget for a Raspberry Pi.
I’ll iterate towards a good solution. This was a somewhat realistic but naive solution (I have customers doing largely what I’ve described in the article).
If I could find a way to encourage people to run their work in a power efficient way using economies of scale from this series, I would be terribly happy.
Interestingly I suspect public-cloud FaaS solutions (e.g. AWS Lambda) will achieve highest utilisation rates due to high rate of CPU sharing - but I’m a long way off from showing that with data.
Author here - I’m learning as I go. I thought of talking a out the actual sunlight starting at closer to 1300W and losing efficiency at each step, but I don’t get have the right tools to do that properly.
I’d def love to hear your suggestions though as I continue to iterate this one.
3 hours comes from averaging the daily power generation my Victron MPPT reports. I’m using a 200 watt panel and it reports and average of 600Wh since I set it up a month ago.
