Built a rickroll machine that rickrolls you with microservices (opens in new tab)

Is the joke this isn’t microservices and literally just an expressjs api that sends the user to youtube? Why the copy paste for each of the route handlers? Why not just a single endpoint?

I’m so confused

You don’t need microservices for a bad joke. They’re already a bad joke.

Is the joke that when I follow the link I'm not rickrolled?

Hah! You just gave me the idea to make[0] a rickroll app that pretends to scan your IP but actually just rickrolls you.

(Shameless plug: I vibe-coded the vibecoding tool)

where are the microservices?

The real rickrolling is to get everyone here on HN to read the lyrics.

Happy to realize I have lived that long without having heard of rickrolling.

I need the Rust implementation

RaaS, nice one
