🔥 First of a few announcements

Happy to share that I am officially a @firebase.com GDE again! 🎉

I wouldn't be where I am today without Firebase and all the people I've met along the way, excited to be able to give back with more content and talks coming from me this year!

After founding Invertase and leading the technical vision for the last 8 years, my employment there has come to an end and it's time to move on to new adventures.

Excited for what's next - I'll be sharing more soon.

Gave my first uni lecture ever at Uppsala University! ✨

feat. @mikediarmid.bsky.social and @wolfenra.in 🥳

3 days ago I opened an issue with a performance degradation in Flutter (#165959), it was triaged in 3h, response from someone that could fix the issue (Jonah) in 7h, draft PR up after 8h, and now the PR is merged!
Thanks for an incredibly fast response from the Flutter team on this! 💙

elysiajs.com + Drizzle any chance I get, love how schemas and validators are built in and just work: elysiajs.com/integrations... - which means things like Swagger just work too based on your schemas: elysiajs.com/plugins/swag... etc

@cloudflare.social workers if not self hosting, + KV, Durable Objects, D1, Queues & R2 etc - powerful

@bun.sh if self hosting to build the api, @coolify.io to run on the servers, postgres, clickhouse or sqlite for DB depending on what im doing, Redis for caching, jobs queues etc

depends if you are using compute instances on GCP or serverless Cloud Run/functions

Serverless gives you low initial cost until your product scales, migration from that to serverful at a later date would be more time consuming

However serverful to serverful would be lift & shift with dns changes

Love hetzner, use it for anytime I need raw compute or to host something non standard that would cost too much elsewhere

I still favour convenience of not self-hosting when the cost is low or it will always fall into the free or low tier of a provider like Cloudflare
