Earlier quoted context omitted.

Out of curiosity, what is keeping you on Heroku?

It's a good question. Since they disabled the automatic deployment it has been causing some issues and I'm revalidating using Heroku. The main reason is the ease of use Would you suggest something alternative? AWS?

I don't know in terms of pricing. But I moved a couple of free heroku apps to fly.io and it was pretty smooth. They provide a migration guide specific to people moving out of heroku.

Building an agtech platform (with quite a few other people, including a designer and data scientist, but I'm currently the sole developer, and for the most part it was built by a single developer). Backend: Rust, rocket, sqlx, postgres + a little bit of R. Ansible for deployment. Frontend: Rescript + React. Also a significant portion of Rust/WASM, but that was a mistake I'm trying to undo. In short, statically typed…

Nice. Are you able to share what you are working on and why WASM was a mistake?

You're going to love to hate this: Best choice I made was using WordPress! I run https://rpgplayground.com , a web tool to make RPG games without coding (6000+ user published games) The app itself is written in Haxe. My website is WordPress. Haxe because it will be easy to port to any device. Why was WordPress the best choice? Basically everything you need has a plugin. I needed a forum: bbPress I needed a community…

Good on you. WordPress is a fantastic piece of software and I think a lot of the nose wrinkling and hemming a hawing about security comes from people installing suspect plugins.

If you stick with the core product and set a very high bar for which plugins you install, Wordpress is rock solid

I used a weird stack of:

- Rails: so I have a UI quickly together with some admin and a interactive shell to allow me interact with the app easiser - GoodJobs:https://github.com/bensheldon/good_job Used this for any Rails based job - Postgres for everything. No Redis. I found redis is a source of pain when it misbehave and reach max mem with eviction policy. When Redis mem is big, restart it take quite a bit of time. - Huge server: I rent hetzner server and scale vertically. - Golang + sqlc: I used Rails SQL schema to pair it with golang sqlc https://sqlc.dev/ it makes write SQL way easier - Stimulus - Docker Compose for Rails deployment - SCP/Systemd for go-based servic
