Two USB to serial converters and a null modem. Why make it hard?


Absolutely


Here's another: https://www.4sqrp.com/T41main.php - I just bought one that someone else had assembled. It's 100% open so you can buy boards and make your own, but the kits themselves are no longer available. I am thinking of ordering a set to take the design further, as a learning exercise.

19 of 20 startups "fail." Meaning they don't exit for huge valuations. Go look at many of the "successes" and the founders had a deep safety net. Meaning they could afford it. Access to affordable capital and luck. Seriously. Don't be down on yourself. Did you learn? Probably. Did you make deep friendships along the way? Probably. Those count too. Don't let hyper-capitalism define "success" for you.


Before designing something new, you might consider going to look at the AWS CDK - https://aws.amazon.com/cdk/ - which is exactly what you are describing.


Yes, there is AWS CDK! It is similar to what I describe, but it is still too complicated for end user. The "Concepts" section in CDK web site lists 16 concepts!

I am thinking for this scenario which people want the simplest way to deploy an Apache Spark environment on Kubernetes (Data Infrastructure is complicated, thus use Spark as example here). I prefer a one command to automate everything, instead of writing all sorts of infrastructure-as-code files. Right now, do not see that or similar tools. Thus I start to build a one-click deployment tool like https://github.com/datapunchorg/punch.


Or, you can just use the Amazon Chime SDK to get all of this same capability and pay as you go. All the driving code is open source - full examples, tutorials and such on github at https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-chime-sdk-pstn-audio-w....


That's just replacing one big third-party with another, isn't it? Twilio has lots of open source examples available, and is similarly pay-as-you-go.
