Show HN: Stacktape – Full power of AWS with Heroku-like experience
Hello, Stacktape CEO here.<p>As a full-stack developer, I was looking for an easy way to deploy and host my applications for years.<p>I could go with Kubernetes and Terraform. But the complexity of running this in production can be overwhelming even for a team of dedicated DevOps specialists. Or I could go with Heroku. But I’m not willing to pay 5-10 times more for my infrastructure just because my app was easier to deploy. I could also choose Serverless framework. But If my use case requires more than Lambda functions, I need to read through 100s of pages of AWS documentation figuring out how to configure VPCs, Security groups, Route tables and more…<p>Until now, I could choose either "powerful" or "easy". Today, after 2.5 years of development, I’m happy to introduce another option.<p>Stacktape is a DevOps-free cloud framework that’s both powerful and easy at the same time. It allows you to develop, deploy and run applications on AWS. With 98% less configuration and without the need for DevOps or Cloud expertise.<p>Unlike with other solutions, you can deploy both serverless (AWS lambda-based) and more traditional (container-based) applications. Stacktape also supports 20+ infrastructure components, including SQL databases, Load balancers, MongoDB Atlas clusters, Batch-jobs, Kafka topics, Redis clusters & more.<p>Besides infrastructure management, Stacktape handles source code packaging, deployments, local/remote development, and much more. It also comes with a VScode extension and local development studio (GUI).<p>Stacktape is a IaaC tool. The configuration can be written in YAML, JSON, or Typescript. A typical production-grade REST API is ~30 lines of config (compared to ~600-800 lines of CloudFormation/Terraform). The deployment can be done using a CLI or a programmatic SDK.<p>Stacktape is a premium tool with a forever-free tier. I’ll be very happy if you give it a try and let me know what you think.

Show HN: A small Hypercard stack running as a PWA
In my early programming years, I went from BASIC to HyperCard, then learned C when I couldn't make HyperCard do everything I wanted. Plenty of folks have pointed out how the lack of native support for color doomed HyperCard. But I think it was really over when the web got started and replaced everything in the "personal content" space from underneath, so I decided to see if the idea of HyperCard would work as a web app. There are some missing pieces -- it's not perfectly compatible. You can, however, make stacks online and let others see them. Free, no ads, no personal information, you are not tracked, just a fun project.
