🔥 ANNOUNCING RAVION 🔥

The command center for your cloud infrastructure

For startups: the easiest, most powerful way to self-host in your cloud

For scaleups: a framework for internal developer platforms

Result of 14 months. 1M LoC. Everything we learned from Flightcontrol.

@IgnoreRageBait @CowboyTek You might like @ravion for that

The great hack of Railway explained by Fable 5.2

It’s true

PSA: creating wonderful products still requires extraordinary amounts of human focus, effort, motivation, and love. And an attention span.

[Ravion @ravion]

Custom pipeline steps in Ravion now support watch_paths.

If no changed file matches since the step's last successful run in the same variant, the step is skipped and the steps after it keep going. API tests don't rerun when only the docs changed.

@thdxr What did you figure out?

Periodic reminder that it’s called “Firecracker” because you’re gonna try to build your own AWS with it and accidentally blow your goddamned hands off.

[Brandon 🚀 Ravion @flybayer]

@QuinnyPig 😂

[Ravion @ravion]

Ravion pipeline steps can now declare `needs`.

List the earlier steps a step depends on and it starts as soon as those finish, alongside everything else. needs: [] starts it right away. If a step it needs fails or is skipped, it's skipped too.

@simeonGriggs Gotta bring back the briefcase

@KlausCodes Did you build your own orchestration?

[Brandon 🚀 Ravion @flybayer]

It’s therapeutic seeing all the new “AWS killers” launch…. and then shutdown.

After 5 years, we’re finally cracking the non-PaaS cloud infra nut with @Ravion

This space is insanely complex, and takes a long time to build expertise, trust, and uncover the correct abstraction.

[Ravion @ravion]

Ravion pipelines now support matrices.

Define matrix.axes on a step and it runs once per combination: 2 Postgres versions × 3 Node versions = 6 copies. Tune it with include, exclude, max_parallel, and fail_strategy.

Your own domain on a CloudFront distribution or static site, without wrangling ACM.

Turn on Ravion-managed domains, apply, and add two DNS records. Ravion issues and attaches the certificate.

CloudFront CDN 1.6.0, Static Hosting 1.6.1.

Even better: content-addressed disk caching in your own S3. Branches share unchanged chunks, uploads only save changes and restores fetch chunks on demand instead of downloading the whole cache.

@ravion GH runners do this, compute and cache is all in your AWS.

@jordwalke We do for @ravion and it works very well
