   Fair, though I am more curious to hear from those who've used PHP in the past and switched. The estimate I found says there are at least 600k PHP developers in US alone.

   Is there a way to encode all of them into base64 or another format that would allow serialization of everything into one bundle?

   Using Stripe here makes sense, if they have product for this. Wouldn't I need to store all of the same information in my database anyway as a source of truth?

   If I learned one thing from designing is similar systems in the past is to avoid referential data as much as possible haha I did not go into such depth here, but individual function calls record (duration, billing_rate, total_cost) as plain

    I should have mentioned: thankfully, there are no long-running sessions in this design. The longest session I could imagine would be 1 hour, but... they will average 1 minute. Designing such system for long-running sessions would be a lot m

    Very interesting! I was thinking of using this to record test execution instead of recording mp4 videos – like Cypress does. Is there a reason rrweb would be a poor choice of this use case? Mostly trying to understand why Cypress is not doi

    I swear this is a real thing. I never noticed Fly.io company, even though it seems like they've been for a while. Now that I read a few of their blog posts recently, I see them _everywhere_.
