Top 23 Go GraphQL Projects
- Project mention: Dagger: Define software delivery workflows and dev environments | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-12-09
Overall I like Dagger conceptually, but I wish they'd start focusing more on API stability and documentation (tbf it's not v1.0). v0.19 broke our Dockerfile builds and I don't feel like figuring out the new syntax atm. Having to commit dev time to the upgrade treadmill to keep CI/CD working was not the dream.
re: the cloud specifically see these GitHub issues:
https://github.com/dagger/dagger/issues/6486
https://github.com/dagger/dagger/issues/8004
Basically if you want consistently fast cached builds it's a PITA and/or not possible without the cloud product, depending on how you set things up. We do run it self-hosted though, YMMV.

Mercure
🪽 An open, easy, fast, reliable and battery-efficient solution for real-time communications
Project mention: Mercure: A WebSocket alternative for server-sent events | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-01The site offers a little more detail:
https://mercure.rocks/
Basically its server sent events with some stuff on top:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Server-sent...
One big benefit of SSE is that you can put them behind a CDN, making scaling a lot easier. No idea about what Mercure brings there, though.
