Currently working on Klugli - Educational app for German primary school kids (Grades 1-4).

Parents set up accounts, kids log in with simple codes and work through curriculum-aligned Math and German exercises. Built with Elixir/Phoenix/Ash and LiveView.

The hard part isn't the tech - it's creating content that actually maps to the German school curriculum rather than generic "educational" fluff. Currently grinding through grade 2 math topics.

Thanks. It was a stupid most idea for MOST shops. I think maybe it works for AWS, Google and Netflix but everywhere in my career, I saw 90% of the problem was due to microservices.

Diving system into composable parts is a very very difficult problem already and it is only foolish to introduce further network boundaries between them.

Next comeback I see is away from React and SPAs as view transitions become more common.

(I work at Cloudflare, but not on D1)

I believe this is possible, you can create D1 databases[1] using Cloudflare's APIs and then deploy a worker using the API as well[2].

2 - https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/workers/subr...

Thank you! That's great and it is possible but... With some limitations.

The idea is from sign up form to a D1 Database that can be accessed from the worker itself.

That's not possible without updating worker bindings like you showed and further - there is an upper limit of 5000 bindings per worker and just 5000 users then becomes the upper limit although D1 allows 50,000 databases easily with further possible by requesting a limit increase.

edit: Missed opening.

If anyone from cloudflare comes here - it's not possible to create D1 databases on the fly and interact them because databases must be mentioned in the worker bindings.

This hampers the per user databases workflow.

Would be awesome if a fix lands.

I love Google's product managers. I love product managers in general but Google's product managers are at a whole another level. And it shows.

There's a good list here: https://dbohdan.com/self-hosted-paas

I'm always looking for new alternatives there, I've recently tried Coolify but it didn't feel very polished and mostly clunky. I'm still happy with Dokku at this point but would love to have a better UI for managing databases etc.

wg0 · 10 days ago
Okay could you please share your thoughts as a user:

- What databases you want to work with?

- What functionality you want from such a UI?

- What database size we are talking here?

Asking because I am tinkering with a similar idea.

Show of hands for backend web services development -

Who uses Django, Rails, or similar full-featured frameworks?

Who uses micro-frameworks like Flask?

Who uses enterprise Java, Jetty, Dot Net, etc.?

Who uses an entirely Javascript stack?

Who uses a non-traditional language that has become more web-servicey, like Go, Rust, or Swift?

Who uses something so wildly untraditional that it's barely mentioned? OkCupid using C++, etc.?

Who uses an entirely custom framework (in any language)?

Would really love to see a break down of who is using what, how people feel about their tech stack, etc.?

- Have written Rails and Django both

- Have written SPAs (React/Svelte)

- Have written Go based services

Each has their on pros and cons.

Can someone remind me how we ended up in the SPA era and why exactly? Was it about not seeing the loading spinner? Or there were more reasons to it?

This look really neat and great! Amazing job!

BTW just looking at other variations on the theme:

Feel free to add more.

Anthropic Bun? :) I didn't realize it was an engine as well. I can take a look but we should wait and see where the acquisition takes it
wg0 · 11 days ago
Yes but I believe it would be a safe and lighter choice. The rug pull on deno is more imminent than elsewhere.
