jackdk | so, you know the gg paper, right? where they instrumented a build system and did all the actual building on Lambda? Has anyone played with using Lambda as a remote builder for nix? | 05:47:18 |
andi- | Eelco did some hacking on using an SQS queue for the actual worker queue: https://github.com/edolstra/nix/commits/aws-store | 09:03:30 |

colemickens | confession: I regret some of my Azure whining, I don't know how people get by in every other cloud without the concept of ARM groups. Cleaning up a handful of sporadic resources in OCI is a nightmare. Either do it by hand, or you spin up a Stack, and a Job, (actually two because the first might fail) which causes OCI to run Terraform for you to do the mass delete. | 00:26:30 |

josw | Then again, I often wonder how much they read into Nix to get where they are now with Azure | 08:24:42 |
josw | kinda hurts... | 08:25:13 |
colemickens | I didn't quite track that bit. | 23:00:25 |

kamadorueda | In reply to @jackdk:matrix.org so, you know the gg paper, right? where they instrumented a build system and did all the actual building on Lambda? Has anyone played with using Lambda as a remote builder for nix? Tomberek has experimented with it https://github.com/tomberek/lambdanix
Also I believe that nowadays (2+ years after that attempt) things might have become easier as now lambda supports using custom container images so long they respect a few conventions | 04:48:40 |
kamadorueda | I personally find lambda quite an interesting target because of scalability | 04:50:00 |
