These are the rough steps for getting a surrealdb instance running on fly.io and connecting to it. This is heavily based off of steps posted in the surrealdb discord by rvdende. View Origional Post.

These steps work just fine for the hobby (pay as you go) plan.

HEADS UP By default this will create an instance on a single shared cpu with 256m memory. This is pretty darn small to do anything but experiment, but its free. You can scale your instance to something more useable by visiting the https://fly.io/apps/<appname>/scale. Obviously scaling to larger instances will incur higher costs, please refer to fly.io pricing

• Issue: keithwhor/nodal#75

• Branch: https://github.com/intabulas/nodal/tree/0_6_0-RefactorTasks

• ✅ Right now we have ScheduledTask and Task with ScheduledTask being different in name only. I propose we drop ScheduledTask and just have Nodal.Task that can be scheduled or run one off

• ✅ Add flags to nodal new g:task to take optional schedule information

• ✅ Flag could be like nodal new g:task --schedule:5m. Maybe support s, m, h, d and w for durations. This would add to ./schedulers/main.js`

• ✅ Add (like with router) /* generator: begin tasks */ and * generator: end tasks */ to ./schedulers/main.js so that we can automatically add them when g:task is run with scheduler info

Thoughts on Developing with Nodal

As I was starting to put together an all encompasing example app with data, I encountered things that I think new developers might stumble on and (hopefully not) possibly be turned off by.

Some of my thoughts are specifc to an application vs api nodal app and I will try to indicate as such

NOTE: A living gist which each item its own markdown file

module.exports = (function() {

  "use strict";

  const Nodal = require('nodal');
  const fs = require('fs');
  const async = require('async');
  const inflect = require('i')();

  class GenerateSeedTask {

    static find_by(findObject, callback) {

      return new Composer(this)
