i love how You are progressively moving closer and closer to a proper enterprise setup. There is a real lack of beginner-friendly content on this type of stuff. New JS/TS type developers rarely get exposed to this kind of thing. You are doing great work.

In the Unix world, programs ending in d are usually daemons (like sshd, smbd, etc)

cloudflare seems pretty interesting as a substitute to aws. Idk why aws don't have a bill limiting for people who just want to learn, test things and build side projects

@Dom-zy1qy

Yeah true. I think they might just be hoping people incur larger bills than intended, and make extra money off those people. I would assume they have to deal with lots of charge backs though, so I don't know if that would be a net gain.

Now that I think more about it maybe aws don't want to attract side project people or don't want to invest on it. For enterprise these problems aren't really problem they'll just buy a WAF plan.

When I worked for Amazon they seemed to have a pretty forgiving policy for people who accidentally used more than they thought they would. I would try talking to their customer service and seeing if you could get a refund for the high usage. Edit: that'll teach me to watch to the end before commenting 😅

They’ve said they would refund the charges. But going forward I’ve decided I’d rather just have my entire application die if I accidentally misconfigured something rather than to have to hope the hosting company will refund me before I need to declare bankruptcy 😂

Never knew about this, super helpful video. Thanks for sharing.

It would be nice to see a mindmap, flowchart, etc. of the various possibilities of deployment. I've more familiarity with k8s and oddly enough most people think it's difficult but that's my biggest frame of reference because it's so easy to set up a new ingress, service and deployment for me now. I think these videos where you give a wide view of these topics are the most helpful for me at least.

More of this please! Great content!

Thank you Cody! I'm making a side project and I'm going to do this exactly

5:50 most important advice for all. Be aware of unexpected costs if you don't setup correctly and not use the RIGHT tool for your project. It's pretty stressful to get $1.000 bill for nothing.

Can you please make a series tutorial about cloudflare workers , such as building a website by using cloudflare workers.

Looking forward to the s3 compatible R2 setup!

Great video, a nice niche of tutorial content that really missing; moving from local dev env to real world deployment issues. At least vercel now added hard cap project pausing instead of the custom webhook being the only way to cancel.

at 1:01 u mentioned bandwith, do both incoming and outgoing charge money? or its only specific to outgoing?

good share again Cody

Since you are moving away from serverless are you also moving away from event driven architecture? (Sqs, sns, etc) and dynamodb

Thank you

Would Cloudflare tunnels work for projects deployed in Vercel (or similar services)? I currently have a project setup with a Cloudflare proxy after seeing your original DDOS video but this seems much more secure

Cloudflare, point your domain to cloudflare and point cloudflare to your amplify distribution hostname probably. Although, if there isn’t a way to prevent traffic to your default amplify hostname, someone might still be able to hit your underlying distribution

Hey Cody, Can you clarify the stack you're using to avoid DDOS and secure your service for you site (Ex): - Hosting in Railway (No public access - Only private) - Secured your hosting with Cloudfared (Tunnel in Railway as service) - On cloudflare side, what do you have? Thanks a lot.

@WebDevCody

Ай бұрын

I wouldn’t worry about it; if you have your app private and through cloudflare, it’s protected. Also I’d recommend setting up a waf rate limit rule so no one ip can hit your app over and over again

So tunnel is before reverse proxy? Can you still ssh into vps with ip address of vps?

@WebDevCody

2 ай бұрын

I think it kind of acts like your reverse proxy. You have the tunnel point directly to your running service on the machine. Meaning you don’t need caddy or nginx to setup certs or point to your service. You can still keep ssh enabled for your ip on the machine, but you don’t need to have open http ports I believe

@sarabwt

2 ай бұрын

Cloudflared CLI basically starts a reverse proxy (you can configure which domain goes to which address, if you run a VM, you use localhost:$PORT, Cody used Railway which starts up a second machine, that acts as a reverse proxy and routes to internal address), but you don't need to open http port on the machine, because you create a reverse tunnel (connect from the machine to cloudflare instead of cloudflare connecting to you), which minimizes the chance of you fucking something up. It's the same thing as ngrok or localtunnel basically, but meant for production instead of development.

Is DDoS a concern of yours regarding Convex?

@WebDevCody

2 ай бұрын

Ddos is a concern for anything that is charge per use. I’d personally add rate limiting to any api. Luckily an api usually requires auth which means you can easily ban anyone abusing and track by userId instead of ip.

Why is Railway so cheap compared to other services, offering 8GB and 8vCPU for $5/month, while you get only 512MB and 1vCPU with Digital Ocean's droplet for a similar cost?

As a freelance systems administrator, a little known secret of the hosting industry I had to find out is that X vCPUs can mean X amount of threads you have access to. The thing is, those threads are shared. Example: At some points you may be able to get 95% access to those threads, and at other times only 10%, effectively limiting your performance. Hence why virtual dedicated server (VDS) is a term but poorly used because some companies think a VPS and VDS are the same thing. Not accusing railway of anything because I have no evidence, but that's been my experience in the past with cheaper hosting services.

I'm not sure if it's me misunderstanding at this stage as I see lots of people taking that from their pricing page, but that doesn't seem to be the case - I feel like the railway pricing is quite confusing From what I can tell, they don't include 8GB and 8 CPU for $5/month - you are allowed to allocate up to 8GB and 8 CPU per service on the Hobby plan and the $5/month gives you $5 of usage. I have a small PHP app using 0.1 CPU and ~500MB ram including database - this comes to $6 last month (only recently moved so can't tell if I'm going to get charged yet) As it's usage-based pricing, If you used 8GB and 8 CPU you'd be charged $240 a month according to their pricing page
