If you are dealing with a lot of "empty databases" you can basically make something like a "core app" — attach cheapest paid redis and postgres to it, then copy the credentials between apps. I have done this before — had

I have some experience with AWS ElasticBeanstalk that I used to migrate to my Heroku apps at some point. With their Amazon Linux 2 they use the Procfile and it feels VERY close to Heroku with deployments (it has its own quirks though, lik

I used to start my projects on Heroku because the first few iterations of the prototype can run on the free dynos, then hobby tier for the first production, better database when needed, and so on — slowly growing as it should be. Now I will

I don't mind paying their fees for production resources (e.g. they ALREADY force that for the Team accounts where no free tier dynos are available) but now they effectively killed any kind of experimentation and pipelines — now EVERY s

Some of these concepts sounds like “management from hell” handbook. Sure it’s great if people want to follow you but that also makes you a massive liability to any company hiring you: people will FOLLOW you. How that is considered somethin

Recently Beanstalk got upgraded to their "Amazon Linux 2" making it basically pretty much a Heroku clone, you even set up Procfile and services ;-) It still requires a LOT of hacking and insider-knowledge to do some funkier things

I am a solopreneur running my own and clients' projects and the best way to NOT do devops is using Heroku (for simple/early projects) and/or AWS ElasticBeanstalk (for bigger/complex projects) — nothing beats the simplici

Version 1.2.0 deletes the data, so it's not backed up in iCloud — the new version (1.3.0) submitted today should restore the data and sync between devices using the same iCloud account (but since it's iPhone only at the moment, it

As long as company services customers from EU they have to comply and support their laws. This whole GDPR drama was caused in majority by huge American companies like Google and Facebook, doing whatever they like.

I did an export tool like that for one of my apps and it’s not that complicated. Keeping the exported files secure and authenticated was more work than actually generating them

It depends on how data is stored — many companies use user identifiers with attachable profile objects so when you delete your account your account is done random id. Hard to say if that’s a personal information anymore.

This might work for data that is stored but another regulation enforces storage of only that data that you need — making it inefficient for backup restore (systems can just wipe your data and call it a day instead of soft-deleting it).

That's bullshit. When I was hiring I needed a Skype/Phone call, and 1 hour of on-site or just another more technical call/interview (1-2 hours max if it goes really well). Hired 3 great folks and 1 that decided it's not

Many countries have such limitations, not only China requires data to be stored "in the country", but also Russia. I've been in a situation, where an international product got "forked" into a daughter-company-contro

Location matters for PR purposes, a great team located in the Bay Area will have the same output if located in rural USA, Europe, or Asia. Companies are made by people, not places (unless you're a farmer, but that's a different st
