Wouldn't that require a responsible body (ie a CA) to verify who they say are. Not sure that's needed for SSH

No-one uses Elastic Beanstalk -- use ECS instead. With ECS Copilot you can do it in 1/2 commands.

Appreciate it's just an MVP but I think there's a good niche you can go down. Big Data on AWS is such a pain to set-up (Glue, EMR, RedShift, LakeFormation), with IAM policies and roles a simple data pipeline is around 500 lines of

Just boils down to not optimising until you need to. Start with a 3 tier web app (unless your requirements lead you to another solution), then start with read replicas, load balancing, sharding, redis/RabbitMQ etc

GitHub/Gitlab allow you to rebase your commits when merging. We do that, but has the disadvantage of mucking up things for people who are using that commit. I personally think it’s worth it

No company is going to touch Virtualbox without a 10ft barge pole. The licensing is so easy to get wrong and before you know it you’re writing a cheque to Oracle’s legal department

But wait until your master worker falls over and you have to promote your read replica. RDS handles everything for me, I just have to monitor it and be ready for any alerts from Promthesus. I mean I’d say cloud providers measuring everythin

> RDS. It’s slow and super expensive. I don’t want to worry about one-off queries or migrations. If you use only 5% of your server capacity you can afford to do inefficient things at times. The author has clearly not had to do a database

How can you protect yourself from file upload threats? It's basically the worst possible threat model -- executing complex user input that conforms to a spec that was written 20 years ago by some proprietary company with no security. E

We use Typescript and jest for the mocks. Probably about 10%, they’re very simple mocks, all they do is return success and in a few unit tests we make them return failure and then test how our app responds. I can’t really say if it pays off

I prefer mocking my AWS calls, so much more lightweight and means exert developer doesn’t have to install local stack

You go on to AWS for their managed services like Fargate, DynamoDB, ECS, S3 etc. Have used OpenShift in the past and had endless problems with cluster stability (especially in 3.x), and weird inconsistencies. With AWS I could just spin up 1

I recommend Rotten on Netflix [1] that has an episode about Avocado farming. The whole series is super interesting anyway and explores modern day issues such as lack of water, climate change and globalisation. [1] https://www.net
