It is production ready as long as you want to run it on a single box and scale vertically - which is a lot of projects out there. Agree on the other points.
- sofixa 5y agoHaving a single point of failure in the form of a single box database is the stuff nightmares are made of for me. Even for the least critical things I've deployed as an SRE, redundancy is a must. It costs so little upfront, and can be life saving later on.
- SergeAx 5y agoFor my pet projects I want more reliability than for work ones. At work we can afford dedicated SREs and PagerDuty and on-call shifts and stuff. As an individual developer I want things to just work and deal with problems when I am awake and not busy with more important tasks.
