Donpre: I've been thinking about a good hosting solution for my django server but also considering the cheapest(possibly free) as the app is free(don't even want to include ads as i detest that thing).
could you explain the EC2 free tier. I'm currently looking at the pricing and to be honest, its confusing calculating the amount after the 12 months free period.
Is it cheaper compared to digitalOcean?
I wouldn't want to be switching host mid-way.
it more expensive than digital ocean in d long run but AWS free tier is ok for proof of concept or mvp stage apps
we started the collaboration project today, and there is still room to lit up ur git profile. like I said above colloraboration is a very important part of the job as a dev. I am done with the node js backend, here is the URL to the repo www.github.com/azeez010/job-microservice.git. Join the group using the link in the main post
TheCarpenter: Thanks. If you're good at working with Django, I could feel motivated to spin it up again. At the moment, vibes lost continuing the project but when I see people like you trying to do one or two things, will be encouraged to continue irrespective of the cloud charges.
things like this happens all the time, if not we would have more successful companies, but we just won't relent, because everything we do is for others good not just for our sake. I think we should link up
YouTube founder sold it. Whatsapp founder sold it. Github founders sold it. And many more.
Local millionaires and billionaires are not ready to invest. Just imagine if Dangote or Adenuga or Otedola had invested in paystack, you think he'll sell?
What if stripe now come to Nigeria to compete with paystack, you think paystack will stand a chance?
I agree with u, but all I am saying is we have no chance, if u solve a problem for ur country eventually it will be owned by foriegners
TheCarpenter: Not users (zero users to be precise). But some technology it was running on and libraries where memory and resource intensive.
Even on Linode Cloud, it required 2gb of RAM smoothly without load time issue. Though it was two Django projects running simultaneously (main domain and subdomain)
shit, optimize the app then, why run two Django apps on a machine I am planning on running celery but I feared something similar might happen
trytillmake: Fumble ke, oga whora u saying do u know the worth of $200 million, do u know hw many more viable ideas he can push with that. The guy cashed out big time to move to other things besides he will still be running the firm.
I didn't say it wasn't good for him to receive the money, after all zuck was offer $1b for fb and he declined. u think it is good if how money is move in the country is controlled by a us company, if that keeps happening I doubt if we have a chance.
Karleb: It's easy to say this when you're not in his shoes.
Stripe is Paystack's number 1 benefactor.
I don't really think Stripe is taking over like that , he'll still be in charge of the company but he now works for the oga at the top as an important stakeholder/shareholder.
It'll be like what Microsoft did with Github.
I get ur point if he doesn't sell he might lose eventually, now he is free to move on. good for him bad for Africa
haaa, shola fumbled though the money is much and stripe has been supporting them from onset, but not everything is money. paystack is no longer Nigerian owned
ReluctantAdult: I wasn't talking about cheating in particular. What I'm saying is, our nature as men encourages polygamy. By nature I mean our testosterone and our general attraction to females. This is also prevalent in the animal kingdom so it isn't out of place.
That doesn't suddenly disappear when men get married. Therefore staying loyal is a fight against our urges and longings and since they are inherent in us, we will always be defeated from time to time.
most ladies don't know how testosterone surges feels likes. if the ladies had it too, it will lead to over population, if the males don't have it, mating will become a problem since males initialize sex most times and if not for security sake most ladies don't give a shit about sex.
Taofeekdboy: Express and flask has something in common, their easy setup. I used the docs and StackOverflow. I will try the new asynchronous feature with Django, try express, it is really interesting and you do things by yourself unlike Django where things have been written for you, only little customization.
you can use Django channels for Django async. flask is similar to express but instead of callbacks it uses wrappers
tunjilee003: Here in north central, kwara to be precise,I've been staying here for over four years and I havent heard of anything about sars brutality... I wonder if kwara wasn't part of Nigeria.
ur people poor nii fa, have u seen theives robbing empty banks before. just kidding don't take it seriously
Blacche: I'm not an expert in typography neither do I have satisfactory knowledge in the Ui/Ux field, but I mostly always use roboto fonts or Source sans pro in most of my web projects
Edoziesmart: Can't remember I used my hard earned money and buy itel phone in 2014
Damn! That phone didn't last in my hand for a week, I dumped it asap and migrate to HTC and LG
Use this piece of crappie device at your own peril
I have been using itel for a year and half and it is still good as new. if any nation should complain abt tech it is definitely not Nigerians, produce ur own and let see how easy it is. plus this phones are not that expensive. if u want quality u pay for more
Collaboration is key to becoming great in life, don't be like Nigerian programmers that wanna do everything alone carry all for head, work with others, share ideas grow together, leave black mentality of me me me alone.............................
