Whole day im trying to setup serveless go demo, but no tutorial is working
AWS-SDK
I tried this last time:

#Serverless

runtime: lambda.Runtime.GO_1_X,
but it says that runtime is wrong, however intlisence dont show other the provided.al2
cobalt mica
Looks like maybe his tutorial is a bit out of date?
Your best bet will be to read the official AWS lambda docs for Golang

Serverless
i also tryed Serverless framework tutorial

I will check this
what do you think about serverles (framework?)
cobalt mica
I've never used it, personally
Never needed to
these two projects are linked from AWS' documentation

Im creating browser extension for which i need proxy server to hide openai api key and save/cache some things in db. Do you think serverless is ok for this job?
cobalt mica
Could be
I'd be worried about the cost of it ballooning once you reach a given threshold of users
And also potential malicious attacks, that could cause it to balloon too
I'd want to put it behind cloudflare, at the very least

( Im still student so i want something for free, and like that lambda fucntion are free for zero users not like vps which cose same even when there is zero traffic)

Google Cloud offer a free e2 micro instance
You get one month of e2 micro usage, per month, free of charge
render also have a free instance, but it gets suspended after 15 minutes of inactivity

in AWS I prefer to use container images for lambdas, for build I use KO https://ko.build/deployment/#aws-lambda
cobalt mica
ko looks pretty neat!

whats the difference between lamdas and container? Both are spinned up at demand and suspended after inactivity?

AWS allows you to deploy lambdas in two ways, the old one using runtimes (this looks like a legacy way) and the new one is containers - you build a container using AWS fw
just a diff way of wrapping prev you compile and creaded a zip pkg that was uploaded into AWS lambda and now you can build a container and push it into a registry - lambda will pull and start when needed

`ko` looks pretty neat!
the best part is you can actually use it as a lib in your own code and teach your app how to build and deploy

I never used cloud before, only onclick sulution from vercel XD. So this is kinda overwhalming. I know docker on local development.
What would reccomend me for app need: I have simple browser extenseon which solve scrape and solve quiz. I need server to hide openai api key and save answer into db so it dont have regen every time. I like to learn from existing simple projec but all videos on yt and articles on medium seems to be outdated.
I will look at links you sent first, but i feel litle bit lost

I just wanted to recomend you fly.io but seems like they "drop" free plan few weeks ago 😐
AWS and GCP are complex - maybe digital ocean - they have some free resources (well free credits for new users)

e2-micro VM - this is like free full fledge VPS (i can run anything i want i gues)
render- 24/7 container which go to sleep after 15m? a start on hit?
ko - crates go coitaner wihnout docker?Y

Probably simplest way to host the go api would be buy VPS and run there?
As student i have on Digital Ocean 200$
old egret
yes KO is just for building container images with your binary inside (no need for docker files etc), DigitalOcean (DO) with a simple VM (droplet) should be perfect for start, aws and gcp give new users credits to run a small VM but there UI are quite complex

ahh they are still around 😄 you just need configure your git repo - they will compile the binary and run it - its a "small / micro VM" you can't ssh into the box
south cave
Heroku is proprably the simplest? I will propably try it tommorow, but now im going to bed. 6h of aws deploy error took of my energy 😄
thanks for your time and hekp ❤️
(bruteforcing technology about which i dont know anything is not the greatest idea XD)

well thats how you learn!

also... don't do serverless it's more expensive and kinda pointless for go
old egret
try heroku if it fails just go for a DO and a cheap VPS / droplet no point of over engineering the deployment part
cobalt mica
https://cloud.google.com/free/docs/free-cloud-features#compute
Back to this then
A free VPS
If you don't plan on exceeding the usage limits, it's a good option

oracle's free is beefier/nicer btw
