I've been building this product for a while. Even though there aren't any loading indicators, I think it's still good enough to get out there! I've used this project as a test bed for learning new technologies. And what did I learn? That using Docker and Kubernetes effectively is harder than I thought it would be. Some maybe interesting things about the technology used: * It's almost 100% TypeScript * What's not TypeScript is plpgsql * Postgres * Nodejs * Docker * Deployed to a Kubernetes cluster * React on the frontend * React also renders HTML on the backend (for the PDF generation and emails too)

What would have been the difference in cost/performance if you had hosted on plain old LAMP system?
