Thanks for the tip! I've been REALLY interested in Octane since Taylor announced it, but I haven't had a chance to dig into it yet. What are the downsides you've run into with Octane?

i am not using octance right now, but i am planning to use it for an api to create images on the fly. i have read a lot about it, but i cannot give u any detailed examples right now. in general: code that stays in memory (forever) is always a challenge - you have to write clean code and take a lot of care about everything - if i remember correctly, you should avoid static calls, because those can make problems. but you have to read some stuff about it, there is already plenty to read about it and also existing docker images, so you can start in a minute ;)

I spent a year writing Node.js, so I know some of the gotchas of things like global mutable state. Hopefully Octane will feel kind of familiar from that.

BTW, I guess statics are not a problem, it could be singletons, found this article, very interesting:
