Well, I just built and launched an HN-like headless forum system running on Sveltekit, Vercel and Airtable. There's not really any CI or microservices or anything cool. Of course it's not scalable. Is it secure? Probably not... All the account information is just stored on Airtable!

BUT this is a system I know, and inspecting and changing data is so easy on Airtable. Managing content is ultra fast. And no, the Airtable API is slow as mud and which is causing my project to be slow as mud. HOWEVER, I launched this version very quickly. Much quicker than doing it on Supabase or SQLite or whatever... because I'm a designer, and it's hard for me to get started on those platforms.

If this takes off, somehow, then I'll worry about scaling later. Right now I've got a product to launch (and sell)!
