Made a video on modern infra stuff, ended up going down a lot of rabbit holes: - severless - dbs - ai workloads - pricing models - app performance - the $5 VPS Really happy with this one: piped.video/1nk-BEo5WAY

I'm gonna do it, thing is I need to do a lot of research and testing on next before I do. I could absolutely get away with just ranting about the server components mental model, magic exports, and performance, but that's not honest or fair. There's a lot of really good stuff in the framework, and I want to show that side as well

I know lol, I was very specifically talking to $5 VPS archetype of person who loves to tell you how you can just put on a server on digital ocean droplets and the cloud is evil If ur actually doing serious stuff and don't want a cloud service yea k8s are great. Def not for me, but if it's ur thing or u have a team to manage it yea makes a ton of sense
