  • I know the purists might sneer at me for this, but I just spun up a server via Hetzner so I could run Docker in the cloud

    Not an answer to your question, but don’t let some gatekeeper… well, gate keep. There are many ways to selfhost. Running your own hardware is one, renting a VPS but hosting the services yourself is another one. One is not better than the other.

    Just pick what is the best solution for you and your problem.

  • Sure, if you use a field often it is most likely better to extract it into a column with auto-updates from the JSON data.

    But you have to tune it and see what is best for your use case. Just saying that you can add indexes to JSON fields as well!

  • For very basic things maybe, but it has a lot of other weird problems and restrictions. Mutability, no real timezone support, very limited arithmetic, to name a few. As soon as you move beyond the very basic, you want someting more robust.

  • security none existsnt. Aws security tools used to scream at you every time you open the aws console. Solution at the company was to restrict views to those pages so (most) people don’t see the security/vuln reports. To get reports, you’d have to ask cybersec.

    Not going to lie, that is hilarious. And forget red flags, you have a whole squadron of semaphores right there.
