Exact: Stateless! Sad that we still can't dump a database to a code file, unique and canonical. Maybe one way would be if the deployment script could say "We're missing column X and Y" from comparing a description of the

But DigitalOcean also puts their APIs forward. It made me feel like: Wow, it's nice to use and they're geeks! So how does DO's api compares to EC2?

Come to France. You file on the web. You declare your monthly income and pay 24.5% tax, all inclusive of your income taxes. Even if you make no turnover the first months, you benefit fromthe health insurance, and you could even get the €400
