must be a bit tricky weighing financial cost of operating vs other concerns?

I’m not sure if you’re thinking of something specific? I think financially we’re probably good and if we need to we could “raise” some funds to cover expenses etc.

I’m generally pretty happy with the setup that we have now, Nomad really makes zero downtime deployments easy and if it weren’t for this odd Kernel <> Docker issue everything would work pretty smooth 😄

If it is not a general pain point, then there’s no sense in changing. I have experience with AWS and was wondering if any of their higher level abstractions might make life easier. But that would take some study.

Because the SQLite database is filesystem backed (so far) we can’t just use Heroku-style systems if that’s what you’re thinking of as a higher level solution

We could switch to Postgres though and it shouldn’t be a very complicated thing to do

Yeah I was wondering if a service that works at container/app level rather than OS level might be easier. But would have to really dig in an understand cljdoc ops before I proposed anything.

Yeah, something like this may be an alternative to the current setup. Switching DBs would be required but probably wouldn’t be a huge deal as mentioned above.
