Sure. It is an MVP for a CRUD app and would have some minor async worker stuff as well. The authentication piece of some of these BaaS is compelling. Ideally a scalable solution that supports queues and uses a relational DB for easy migrati

Yes, but this uses SQLite as a database right?

The one thing I dislike about what they offer is no message queue service seems to available besides this seemingly vaporware 'workflows' feature https://supabase.com/blog/supabase-workflows

The curse of network engineering. You’re invisible and insignificant when everything is running well, and public enemy number one if you make a mistake!

I agree. We have some advocates that really want to say we deploy on Friday, but even they don’t seem super pushy about a Friday deployment when they have weekend plans, and the org as a whole isn’t keen either. It’s high risk and low rewar

We utilize version control for config/secret management as well…encrypted of course. Edit: now that I think of it, for generated short lived passwords we also use SSM but for anything set by a human it’s in version control…

I get that people really want to flex that they can deploy on Friday afternoon and NOTHING CAN GO WRONG, but it’s still foolish and flaunts Murphy’s Law. It can wait.

There’s 2/3 bars and a bunch of different parties thrown on different weekends. No wall to wall people though most people need to get up early.

I sat beside the mechanic for the ATMs on my flight in. He got to be there for a week and do a little ATM stuff and then go home. He was cool.

They don’t take credit card at McMurdo, it’s cash only. There are two Wells Fargo ATMs in the main building. Cash that is spent on station gets recycled back into the ATMs. The New Zealand base does take card however.

You need to make sure it covers that altitude. They top out around a certain altitude in the fine print you usually need to pay a little extra for altitudes like Kilimanjaro. Make sure it has helo evacuation covered for all altitudes.

I did a gap year at 25 and I only had 20k in savings and I traveled all over SE Asia and East Africa on that. Was a blast.

Desal discharges salt waste back into the surrounding water, which accumulates on the sea floor. This salty desert kills marine life. Also, the energy needs are very high—-probably too high for our infrastructure to cope. I don’t have sourc

Even better would be to have the hourly cron job add the accounts to deduct the balance from to a queue and have worker services consume those queue messages and do the deduction and database write.

This isn't new, all countries usually allow you to buy your way in using a "Golden Visa" program, including the USA and Canada. Typically it costs about $1 Million and some job creation/investment in the economy. Canadia
