What technique are you using for redirecting traffic to region B when region A is offline? And what happens if I have 2 nodes in a region and one goes offline?
We at DollarDeploy building a platform to deploy apps to your own VPS. For now we just run it on one server, but plan to use DigitalOcean and Hetzner load balancer offering to offer workload scaling beyond one server.
Why did you choose fly.io? The traffic there are very expensive which is an issue for people who would want to run LB.
I love Caddy. Correct me if I am wrong but this looks like a hosted Caddy primarily for Load Balancing ? What about things like SSL termination or general reverse proxy capabilities ?
I would be interested in a hosted caddy cluster that lets me configure everything that Caddy provides without needing to fiddle with Caddyfiles or its API directly.
How is "Novnaode" pronounced? How did you come up with this name?
Thanks for sharing your project!
Edit: Ah, thanks @evanjrowley! I'm glad it was a typo, because otherwise the name would have doomed this baby :)
Into the same vein - crude, but truly vendor-independent recipe: https://gist.github.com/Snawoot/b7065addf014d90f858dbd185d51...
This is excellent, but I'm not following how the multi-region deployments work. Is Anycast involved in this somehow?
I don't get it. So i have a VPS , then what ?
Disclosure: I'm building https://proxylity.com, but I'm seeking to understand here, not to promote it.
The fixed cost per region seems like a barrier to experimenters and large development teams alike. It's not much in the grand scheme, but enough to prohibit an individual from standing something up on a whim and leaving it around. Likewise, for large development teams having a stack for every developer would be costly. In each case I'm not talking about "production" workload, but the semi-idle stacks that run for long periods, are critical, need to reflect the production setup, and don't generate revenue.
Your LBs are quick to deploy, which is super important for fluid CI/CD experience but they miss the mark without being usage based.
Do others see this the same way?
