Yes, you are right, Fi is expensive compared to many other options in Canada. For me, this number is pretty much used for all my Bank/Investment/Social accounts (from my US life), and it will be too much work to replace this every

Really wish they'd start supporting Canada. I recently moved to Canada from the US, and I have been using my US Fi number here in Canada too, but I'm dreading the day they will reach out to stop services on my number. (You cannot

I'll have to disagree a bit on the "You don't need to design internal tools well" argument. I get the point the OP is trying to make, and certainly agree up to a point, especially when you are comparing to an external UI

I live in Vancouver and ~1/2 of my salary goes to rent. In Seattle, my rent was ~1/3 of my salary. I don't think Canada is even beginning to compete in terms of Salary.

I don't have a direct answer to the question. I think for a lot of use-cases, a $5 droplet in DigitalOcean will be cheaper than paying for all these cloud APIs separately. (Although AWS does provide free-tier for many APIs your first y

I haven't compared API Gateway to other services. Looks like it costs $1 per 1 million HTTP calls. That does not sound very costly if you are talking about just side projects which may not generate close to a million requests?

We have a lot of spark applications that run on AWS EMR. Right now we use Oozie to create and coordinate the workflows. Any reason to switch to Airflow?
