thoughts on terraform versus just using a docker compose file? I don’t usually feel the need to scale my resources

thinking I'll just use AWS, I like managing everything myself plus easy access to an RDS or DynamoDB

what do people use for server hosting these days?

Used to use Heroku's free tier, currently on AWS for full-stack stuff and Vercel for SPAs.

I usually like to host multi-container docker compose projects for APIs, redis, nginx, FE, etc.

sizing on ios stickers are so annoying
images need to be at least 300x300 pixels otherwise the sticker will blow up to half the size of the screen
