Azure Container Apps is very similar to Cloud Run if you can't use GCP

There wasn't any direct threat to Europe between 1990 and 2014, yet the US kept their bases there.

The US has been interested/involved in a number of conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa over the last few decades. Europe provides safe and friendly place to station military equipment nearby.

It allows you to use a regular Django backend with views, forms, urls, etc but render the UI with Javascript

It's a similar concept to Inertia but designed specifically for Django

Well, something I do like about Inertia is that it's not tied to any specific framework, neither backend nor frontend ones. That's a big advantage in my opinion.

For Django, there's also django-bridge. This lets you build React apps that are backed by Django views/routing. You can also use Django's built-in authentication and forms which isn't easy with APIs.

Yes, auth between Django and a PWA is not a solved problem. It seems people just give up and go the hosted auth route or something.

But it's also really not that difficult. Auth just takes a lot of practice for people to grok so most people don't want to touch it.

I'll open source something once we're done solving the problem cleanly at my company.

There is no canned way to do it in one shot, but using regular Django session authentication together with a PWA frontend hosted separately is not that difficult.

The actual authentication remains on the Django app, using the standard way of POSTing to a login form and receiving a session cookie -- only instead of a server-generated page serving a HTML form, you have the PWA lipstick sending data directly. This approach is so much simpler than dealing with id/access/refresh tokens, encryption keys, black lists, and all of the OIDC dance.

Also worth mentioning that there are some genres that will never make sense as ebooks.

When was the last time someone bought you an ebook as a gift? This is is the main market for cookbooks, for example.

> I can't think of any publishers that are also in the business of printing and distribution

You're right that publishers don't handle printing, but they do need to handle distribution. Amazon won't help if you want to get books on shelves of retailers, and printers don't distribute. Smaller publishers will usually use the distribution network of a larger publisher. For example, HarperCollins and PRH both handle distribution in the UK for themselves and others.

Does this account for projects that merge commits outside of the GitHub interface?

NodeJS use a bot that manually merges the commits but closes the PRs: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/36661

Sadly I cannot account for this .. In theory I could check if the commits/or just head commit from PR founds its way into the main/master tree. But for now it just checks the status of the PR.
