If I find my self write a[0] a[1] a[2] in more than one place, I would upgrade it to a namedtuple. Much better readability, can be defined inline like `MyTuple = namedtuple('MyTuple', 'k1 k2 k3')`

ok, but "pulling the relevant docker images" does not scale, bro. There's a gazillion of parameters to fine tune a Postgres alone, and trust me, running db inside a container is bad, as stateful containers are terrible in gen

To be fair, serverless platforms doesn't always provide queue or database. Usually they come alone with some sqlite or KV store for the convenience. SSL was provided by the php-fpm part, with either Apache or nginx, like most "pla

I am wondering why php wasn't more popular? Think php as a serverless platform: 1. 10 minute to learn, simple syntax, rich functions 2. deploy with standard tools like ftp 3. easy scaling with php-fpm. 4. not exactly docker, but vhos

Yeah it's very basic and limited. However if I am about to use DB as a job queue for budget reasons, I'd make sure the job doesn't get too complicated.

that's a nice read, but does it also apply to MySQL (InnoDB)?
