Boring tech stacks
Came across this tweet on X earlier this morning where they are discussing about the closing of a database provider company called Fauna. It has recently announced that it will be closing down in the next few months.
I am super glad about my choice of recently setting up a PostgreSQL database on a VPS server via Coolify. I can also automate regular backups and there are multiple benefits:
- I am not platform locked
- It would cost me a lot less than, say Supabase
Actually, I have always been very hesitant about using a platform where there is the slightest possibility of me getting locked out due to any reason – like proprietary data format or risk of getting banned/blocked and not being able to access the data.
Yes, I did not settle with such note-takings apps as well. Currently, I take notes in the plain .md format which can be accessible using any tool, and backup those notes to multiple places securely as well.
I saw another tweet about the same, and feeling good about my choices lately.
