So I realised, even Cloudflare's daily limits on D1 weren't good enough for me. Finally, I decided to move to a self-hosted API instead. Also successfully migrated all servers to @Hetzner_Online None of the DB service platforms are built to handle a high row-read load.

Amazing devtools meetup at @Peerlist today. Can't believe most of the speakers were first time speakers. I was the only "veteran" speaker there. This is the power of community. We had 3 main speakers - and 4 lightning talks. See you @jslovers_del PUN on Dec 7th!

Last year @Peerlist, we focused on LLM devtools, Holistic GraphQL Data, and Cloud Security, defining 2024's themes. This year, topics include OpenAI Whisper, Terminal UIs, framework-specific devtools, animation libraries, anticipating these will shape 2025. See you there!

Used @honojs to deploy a tiny server to @CloudflareDev . So you mean to tell me, it just works? I get it now.

Honored to be named among Top 50 experts in Modern Backend Development by Topmate 🥹! From being a student wishing for guidance to now mentoring others—it's surreal to be featured on their landing page. Grateful to @topmateHQ & every student who trusted me on this journey! 💙

"How did you get selected for Meta from India? 🤔" If you're a student at my meetups, this is always the first question. The truth? 3 things matter: 1. 📈 Timing (market conditions) 2. 🎯 Team fit 3. 🗣️ Communication It's more about the timing than being a genius.

Haven't shared this before: SST helped me speed up deployments in a web platform handling B $ in money from a couple hours to ~5 minutes. This is when I was sold on the power of Good DX + Open Source. I haven't touched AWS since (thx CF), but if I would, I know what I'll use.
