I am doing my first project on Firebase backend. It seems cool enough. Although, on the other hand PostgreSQL is so darn powerful. Anyway, does anyone know how I could set up firebase so I can get notifications when new users sign up? Also curious to hear any tips and tricks for using Firebase su...

Hi WIP Community, I launched Cloud Nuke to make it easy to safely delete AWS resources in 3 clicks! I've found that deleting idle & underutilized cloud resources is the quickest win to reduce spending on cloud bills. Additionally the workflow of deleting cloud resources often exist in Engineeri...

I tought myself Python. My original background is in marketing. For coding there are a ton of great resources out there and many qualified freelancers to learn from.

I already built an MVP I built the MSI installer to package my python code together with my freelance developer. However, the installer is kinda buggy and it doesn't seem a good use of time if we have to learn how to build a proper installer ourselves. If I post a job on UpWork however, I am not ...

this is the website https://bound2.app it comes in with a decent score on pingdom. And the page size is just 1.1MB. But the "wait" phase is nearly 15 seconds. And I can't work out why. Perhaps an old version of webpack / node config problem? This is a link to my github => https://github.com/cr...

Every time, I push new code on my app on Heroku, the new build & deployment logged out all current users and all of them need to re-login to the website.

It won't be a small project IMO. That is, I should be able to get some users and hence, stay motivated to work on it, and keep adding features. Will I miss out if I just go ahead with Firebase or Parse? I want to save time if possible.

Currently trying to differentiate when to use Servers & when to go Serverless. Serverless will scale infinitely, although it has 1 small cost of cold starts but if the site is used regularly then cold start is not needed. Servers are inherently costly. Even if we don't use it to its full potent...

Without going into a ton of detail, I have an idea for an application that logs PHP errors from a website. However, I'm torn between developing this as a SaaS subscription, or a standalone package which users can buy at a one-time cost. Option 1: I develop it as a SaaS, I have to pay for network...

So I have a multisite multilingual project. Imagine different websites on different domains using the same design and front end template with different content. I have a middleware that handles serving the different content. I'd like to build a frontend with VUEJS/NuXT or similar. How what I set...

Hey WIP, Bad day today. My Heroku console has 1803 critical errors :( Are critical errors common? Looking at the specifics: a) I'm using 1X professional heroku dynos. Surely they can handle this level of traffic? b) I made a big mistake with images. Trying to write them to Heroku. Hopefu...

Currently using Heroku and serving the files like so: app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, "public"))); I've looked into reverse proxy servers before but always found it complicated. . But from what I've read it would help out a lot. Maybe its time to make the leap. How simple is Nginx ...
