Looking into internal function solutions and #OpenFAAS looked interesting - but then you look at the price, because they lock private registry access behind the paid version - and then you see this is the price.... per cluster.... This is more than our entire cluster costs per month so we'd more than double our costs.

I'm imagining the Enterprise level is going to cost even more $$$$.

I forgot how bad #openfaas was when I first set it up.

Despite red flags at every turn, I ended up with #openfaas and a simple python script. (It needs rewriting in node or something, but it mostly works and only sometimes crashes.) I'll never use openfaas commercially again though. The docs are littered with formerly-free features that are now paid. At a minimum, scrub your website so you don't look like such a tool.. Especially when the install directions are a blog post that pimps all those "free" features. I don't like relying on an "open source" project that has shown they will take features away if we need them. And I don't know why this still needs saying: **AUTHENTICATION IS NOT A PAID ADD-ON. IT IS A CORE FEATURE.** We are not in 1998 anymore. Don't demand "enterprise" pricing for authentication. That is #antisecurity

There is something dirty about #n8n translating the alerts warning that #openfaas is being torn down..
I finally got #openfaas out of my #homelab! I suffered with it at a previous company, and the devs were assholes but I thought I'd give it a new try at home. It has been a couple years after all.

Whelp. Nevermind. It turns out that if you block telemetry, they will inform you that your toy rpi cluster "must belong to an enterprise, so pay me or fuck off"..

So I fucked off. And thanks to that interaction, I've got enough documentation to ensure I never have to use
#openfaas again, even at work. (Startups are jumpy about moody vendors turning hostile. And the tech itself is such a suck pile. Stupid shit like "restart 100% of your functions because the controller rolled"..)

I'm on
#n8n, which isn't much better (fake screens all OVER the ui full of "upgrade" ads..) but they aren't assholes. Or at least, they haven't been assholes to me or anyone I know.

I'm still game for a better replacement. I just need something to do bog simple
#json transformations. UI is fun and all but I'd be just as happy with a yaml field mapping or some crap DSL. (I've already got huginn doing more active stuff in the cloud lab.)

This has been your weekend tech-adjacent rant.
