This actually makes me wonder if people here generally pay attention, who posted what? Does that influence actual upvote status? I never look at the person name when replying or voting, only the content. For example, I remembered this tptacek not because I remembered his posts, but because they get frequently mentioned in other people posts. |

It didn't for me. I also don't look at who posted links. But fly.io is leaning into a concept I want to use and want to become more of a thing, and that's using SQLite for more web scale applications. Because there's web scale of Google and there's web scale of the rest of us, and I'm sick of paying the operational overhead of having a full database cluster when the app doesn't utilize its features any more than it would a SQLite db.
But in the past everyone turned their nose up at SQLite because they were cool and you were dirty and gross if you wanted to simplify things.
Don't you know we just need horizontal scaling because any second now we're going to get more than 10 write requests per second?
But fly.io leaning into litestream for replicating those databases is a thumbs up to using simple boring technology (SQLite), while still getting 80% of the benefits of doing containers hosted in a cloud platform.
