Ask HN: Help choosing between AWS ECS and EKS
2 by pigradish | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello everyone. I was recently hired at an established company that is in the process of migrating to AWS from Heroku. I am the second devops/SRE like employee, the other person has more of an IT background. He, along with the 20ish person dev team, have no experience with anything cloud or IaC. Our workloads are almost entirely stateless web services, with some data pipeline work that has already been moved to AWS lambda. My gut is telling me ECS is the better choice for this team - simpler, no operational maintenance, almost no additional abstractions beyond the AWS primitives people will need to learn anyway. A consulting team hired before I was brought in are pushing EKS, but I’m not convinced that the improved devex is worth the increase in complexity and operational burden for our team. Their argument is that developers can be effectively quarantined within k8s, so the increase in maintenance on the cluster itself is offset by the reduction in work around custom IAM permissioning, multiple AWS accounts (we’d just use namespaces within the cluster), etc. Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.

New ask Hacker News story: EVM-UI – visual tool to interact with EVM-based smart contracts

EVM-UI – visual tool to interact with EVM-based smart contracts 21 by magnusgraviti | 8 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN! We've built https://evm-ui.com, a free tool that allows you to interact with smart contracts visually. It started as an internal project while building Web3 apps for clients — we needed something more flexible and lightweight than Remix or Etherscan's UI. Unlike Etherscan or Polygonscan, you don't need to verify and open-source your smart contract to get a working UI. Paste the ABI (or load it from a template) and proceed. With EVM-UI, you can - Import contracts by address + ABI, or paste ABIs directly - Read/write functions with auto-generated UI (supports all Solidity types, including arrays) - Execute actions with smart inputs (dropdowns, min/max helpers, etc.) - Switch between EVM chains, testnets, or local RPCs within one workspace - Use developer tools (Keccak256, ABI encoder/decoder, address utils) - Share environments with your team and your cl...
