"... If a new feature requires additional tables, they must be in alternative sharded systems such as Azure CosmosDB rather than PostgreSQL...."

So it is not really scaling too much now, rather maintaining current state of things and new features go to a different DB?

Azure CosmosDB is insanely expensive. I can't imagine anybody using it unless you have OpenAI money.

We don't know the profit margins on it... Might not be very expensive if you're an internal user as openAI effectively is for microsoft.

I have the same issue with DollarDeploy and Bing (and consequently with DuckDuckGo which uses bing)

Primary domain cannot be found via search - Bing knows about brand, LinkedIn, YouTube channel and but refuses to show search results about primary domain.

Bing search console does not give any clue, force reindexing does not help. Google search works fine.

App router is an overengineered mess. "These rules are too hard for normal developers to understand."

Just use pages router, it is still supported and works, also static generation for SEO also works.

Unfortunately, it is not realistic to have all the apps we frequently use as self-hosted. Mail, Instagram, etc, come to mind, all social apps.

I wish I could have a way to live sync between a cloud service and my own infrastructure, not only as a backup, and as a way to query that data.

Good start, but there are many, many things that should be improved if you are running this as a production setup.

Including node & PM2 update to the latest, running PM2 as a systemd service, or simply ditching PM2 altogether, as well as backups, performance settings, and monitoring, log rotation, and cleanup, etc.

Beware of using the same server for running the apps and for building the app. Quite often, building the app needs a lot of RAM and CPU, so it is undesirable to do it on the same host.

user is a resevered word in Postgres so it will be actually

> select * from "user"

which is ugly

I have enterWith working perfectly with async/sync flow - all operations between request and response are logged with request id transparently. I am using custom server for both standalone build & dev server, nextjs 14, node 22.

Shadowsocks over websockets is the way to have traffic indistinguishable from browser traffic. A bit difficult to configure manually: https://developers.google.com/outline/docs/guides/service-pr...

I should mention Non-Sleep-Deep-Rest (NSDR), which, while not changing a state of consciousness, helps in relaxation and focus. Only in 20 mins. Based on my one single anecdata point.
