like your videos, but some alternative thought here:I am using PaaS terraform, docker to wrap project to an image and then push it to ECR, then enable the ECS, its not easy to build but super easy to use if connect to codebuild/codedeploy will be just as same as Ci/Cd process. one man can build everything from scratch. verbal has deadly restriction if you are not use the most recent Next or something they dont like.

Hey Anthony, great video! As an engineer myself, I have a question around figma: 1. Do you recommend building out all your flows on Figma before coding anything? My thought are that it'll be useful for the following reasons: * It will help you understand how your backend may be structured (i.e. db, etc.) * It'll give you a solid direction to push forward with coding the project (frontend and backend) * Like you mentioned, you can see how things look and feel before spending time coding them in.

@AnthonySistilli

Ай бұрын

Yup those are good points! I try to atleast have some structure done in Figma before coding something unless it's extremely obvious how the code will look / where it will fit. Once u get fast with Figma the time you spend making the Figma designs just saves you the time you would have sat there thinking about how to style something when you code it, and it'll look better and be more consistent haha.

@jameswainwright5217

Great vid! Could you elaborate on how you handle long running jobs with node scipt + Upstash redis + Next.js? What would be the workflow?

@AnthonySistilli

Ай бұрын

Yeah! So basically pulling a creator for the first time and running all our processes on them can take a while, which is super expensive for NextJS to run on the backend. So instead I simply use BullMQ to push a job with the instagram handle to that node server running on Heroku. It starts processing the user, updating a table on Supabase with how the process is going. My React APP uses supabase's client library to listen to those status updates that the processor gives out, and when a specific thing is marked as COMPLETED I know it's safe to pull that data on the client side :)

You've given some really important information in a couple of your videos for people who would like to build their own saas. Please continue to give this detailed information.

That's correct! Even while pointing CF to anyone else, they still give you stats on requests made to the domain, the % of bots trying to hit, and you can activate "under attack mode" at anytime to add a captcha to your site if you're ever under attack :) Just awesome stuff that comes in handy that no other domain host does.
