3000 users? You can save the data on disk and not worry about it. Get a vultr 5 dollar micro instance. I don't know why all these engineer driven businesses focus on the wrong things. You don't need fly.io. Of course they will tell you you need them, I don't blame them. But fly.io or kubernetes should always be done by a migration team which you can hire once you have insane profits. Yes profits, the other tiny detai…

I won't tell you you need Fly.io. I am offended you'd put us in the same bucket as kubernetes though, rude.

It's interesting to see how being in the same league as kubernetes could either be considered a compliment or an insult depending on who you ask!

Fair enough. You guys are definitely a breath of fresh air compared to kubernetes. And we already use you guys although Cloudflare is pitching us their Workers pretty heavily.

I hope their pitch is "rewrite your app in JavaScript, even if it's already JavaScript". :D

Semantically: those services are acting more like encrypted proxies, with some kind of exit far away from you physically. VPN's are usually used to create Virtual private networks . Extending your LAN across several sites using software, or granting you access to your LAN when you're not physically located close to it. It's hard to imagine why the meaning has changed as much as it has, because even though a consequen…

In 2022, VPN is mostly about “getting around netflix geoblocking” or “getting around Chinese firewall”

Or, "making public/hotel/random wifi less of a security risk", which happens to be my current usage of Tailscale.

In re: "Tokio, Messaging Queues and Async Rust", the Rust community may one day have a robust, fault-tolerant data ingestion and data processing pipeline like Elixir's Broadway, but today it remains a customized, heavy lift (depending on developer expertise). It would be great to have, in Rust, though.

I one day aspire to have the cajones of ilrwbwrkhv.

For the reference of other potential solo devs, if done right, Fly.io will still be cheaper than the Vultr 5 dollar micro instance (or equivalent) with an incomparably better DX.

K8s is a complexity sinkhole for 99% of companies. It's an insult.

It's funny how we spend SO much time dealing with K8s related nuances and limitations. In practice, I'm not so sure anymore even for a large enterprise that K8s actually simplifies things in any way or adds more robustness.
