Web development and problem solving

Well I note your site is a PWA (generally CRA and Gatsby should be) so you're winning there already.

PWA is great.

While it doesn't quite have the power that native app's got, for small teams and projects with relatively small budgets, PWA's can go quite a long way. And from a user point of view - no need to go to the app store.

gcloud, aws and Hetzner (DE)

gcloud for the free tier and then the others to limit my exposure to a single platform if required.

It's why I advocate for CockroachDB because it's platform agnostic. If someone came to me and asked Mongo vs AWS RDS, I would advise MongoDB to avoid vendor lock in.

CockroachDB does indeed look interesting.

I'm attempting agnostic Serverless, hopefully utilising Graphcool or similar.

Just one tiny thing I noticed. (actually two... First of all, Yay Ruby ;) )

Frontend Static Marketing Site Developed for Fiix South Africa. Website was developed in Jekyll for performance and SEO. Being a static site, hosted on Netlify (for free), client don't need to worry about maintaining the website and can instead focus on his scaling his product.

maybe a copy change?

There's actually a lot companies running sites built with Gatsby. And not all of them are "static" in the sense that it doesn't change.

I really do thing the the future of the web is javascript served statically (React, Vue, Angular, etc) and then data is served dynamically with API's - this is basically what any app on your phone does as well.

Gatsby does indeed sound and look promising however my focus is on Flutter https://flutter.dev/ and with Flutter Web well on the way https://flutter.dev/web, I think that is going to be a real game changer and it's already making waves.

From the outside, GraphQL has always looked like having to maintain two codebases, Graphcool looks to solve that problem.

I've poked around in Firebase, used Ruby on Jets for AWS Lambda but every time I just think do I really want to tie myself down to a single provider and what real benefits do I get from it.
