I have many things dependent on Cloudflare. That makes me root for Cloudflare and I think I'm not the only one. Instead of finding better options we're getting stuck on an already failing HA solution. I wonder what caused this.
Yeah, I'm from Turkey and it's really annoying for me to use a keyboard shortcuts to select "Türkiye" from dropdowns using year old "T", "U", "R" keys. Now in some websites it's "Turkey" and in some websites it's "Türkiye" I need to switch keyboard layouts just to select my country name.
Even though, website doesn't let me use my actual name since my name has non ascii characters so I need to try many times.
My concern is I'm an Android dev. and I'm trying to use best practices because I don't know what can come up.
If prod goes down for a few days it's mostly OK since I have only one alpha user. But some idea of bad things™ might happen is holding me back from developing the app. I'm not feeling confident about my prod env if I find some customers.
> Where do you store your state on the server?
I don't understand what you mean. I guess we're talking about the database. DB also is deployed as the part of the docker compose stack, volume bound to a local dir.

Automating the process of deployments are easier than doing it by hand. Since code needs to be compiled I cannot use the old but gold ftp method. Even if I manage it, it's too much of a hassle. Instead I'm using Github Actions to build my image using Spring's container image builder magic. k8s would allow me to put all of my "stuff" to same place (a cluster)
If you really want to control how your customers are allowed to use the thing you can put a limit like 3 or 4 apps maximum. For example I think this phone needs at least a way to read e-books but it's possibly not going to be implemented. IF there was an API I could write my own e-book reader for it.
