What I realized is that most users don’t really need to have their data available outside their single device anymore, so just having a local database would solve both of these issues in one fell swoop.
Now I just need to figure out when and how to sync databases for those that do 🤔

1. Users, while still not very many, are very geographically spread out. So with only one server location, some users are bound to have a longer response time.
2. I need to reduce the threshold to using the app, so have been considering anonymous login or similar solutions.

A gaping hole in the market: a video platform specifically for 4:3 videos. It’s a fortune ready to be grabbed!

What a power house 🤩 you doing anything heavy with it or just enjoying blazing compile times? 😁

Nice! Subs or website visits? Have you ever done any influencer collabs? 🤔

Are there better alternatives, especially considering my traffic is still pretty low, that are cheaper without too many trade offs?

Now I’m looking for services to host given these needs. From my limited understanding there’s AWS, Azure and Google Cloud to choose from, maybe a few more?
My first choice is leveraging AWS’ EKS to run things with Kubernetes.
I’m worried it’ll be super expensive after the free year runs out though.

Very true, and even if it’s just the one post it might be useful in learning anyway. Plus I enjoy writing so it’s not a burden apart from finding the time.

Very interesting! I’m considering diving into distributed systems and was thinking of doing this while learning. If history is any indicator though, I’ll end up writing one blog post and then stop 😂

We use New Relic at work, it’s pretty neat. Not sure what their plans look like but iirc their free plan was relatively generous.

Fair enough! I really don’t agree that the task modifier is just to make the framework beginner accessible, but I see your point about moving the task and it’s cancellation (from the example) to a VM. Only necessary if you need that code to be testable though.

Would that mean that the task modifier is by definition a business dependency?

Isn’t this just view logic though, and the business logic would be handled in the action closure?

Very interesting rabbit hole so far! Currently googling ‘getting started with Apache Ignite’ while my head’s still spinning 😂

Yeah I can imagine this not having a simple answer 😅 but now I have an entry point to finding a suitable solution! Might be it feels like overkill with 70-some paying users but I don’t want anyone to have a laggy experience. Thanks a lot for the insight, Michael!

What’s missing from GoodReads in your opinion?

Cool, very similar to how we do it at Tibber, only we have separate variables for each tab instead of a dictionary. Works very well in my experience!

Would be interesting to hear what the problem was and how Swift 6 solved it 😊

I did go with a Swift/Vapor backend for my personal little indie endeavor, which I really want to expand now that I feel I’m getting a little more comfortable with backend. What was your experience integrating a Redis cache, any specific bumps on the road?

I recently started getting a little involved with our backend at work, but it’s all Node (well, the gateway part between apps and services is, which is what I’m touching) and this would be so nice. It’s pretty huge though and there are 20 some Node devs working on it so not really feasible switching

Interesting! What do you dislike with Leaf and what would you pick instead?

Awesome work! You know they’re not mutually exclusive 😉

I started by just following the people I remember liking on dev Twitter 😅 I guess I’ll find more interesting people as time goes?

Me when/if I finally get time to get back to building? 😅

I feel like it’s a false dichotomy, you don’t need to pick one or the other. Break out a view model where you feel you could benefit from one. But I guess I’m jumping the gun if this is for next week 😅
