Sounds good, exciting stuff.
Regarding the reverse proxy, not sure if I fully understand. One possible problem, we use CloudFlare (just a free account right now) I wonder how that will interact with the proxy.
I don’t know if it’s dumb, when the url builds the page (some parameter determines the posted title, meta tags, other dynamic parts of the page) rest of the html code echo’d out like a block of text… not sure if that’s a dumb way to do things… anyway not related.
I suppose regarding the vps reliability I think of it as “they are liable to keep it running” but at the same time I don’t have a pinging service that tells me “hey your server is down”. Even with cloudflare without the database which caches a lot of stuff to save on Free api calls (cloudinary haha), the site would not function.
Yeah this is great, sounds like being able to replace PHP/Apache with Go will really make me get into it/know it.
I’m just curious how crazy of a syntax/code change it will be as I do everything “full stack” (quote on quote) with regard to database schema/access/page building whatever with PHP/MySQL/JavaScript
One time my hosting provider did go down for several hours which they compensated with proportional hosting credit, but yeah that would have sucked if it was vital. That was one time several months ago(year(s)?) but yes your point is right, I didn’t think about that, just assume all is well, they’re liable. It was a hardware failure too I think (fire).
The slash and burn… the project did not have a clear direction and I built the “modules” so to speak, and just kept tacking on code… god it’s a nightmare to trace the flow/execution of code… yeah gotta redo it specially with the network constraint of 0.5 to 1.5Mbps at best.
This was very informative thanks a lot I’m sure I’ll be referring to this page for a bit and hopefully can pick it up… I was looking to convert to Node before (thinking about it) regarding the ability to do what I do with PHP/MySQL with Node/JavaScript/Mongo. I do still feel that I"m using outdated technology but at this point I think I’m just going to focus on “rapid deployment” of different sites that hopefully produce traffic.
edit: yeah that book is a good place to start thanks, hopefully it is free WHAT!!! It costs money! haha that’s like 4 hours of work, or four days of snacks I can swing that.
edit: I keep hearing things about Go like “binary” I don’t get that, have to read. I think that is a good learning project to replicate a web app that I built in LAMP with Go and be able to empirically compare the resource usage.
