It pays to be a hard worker… thanks for the tip.

Aren’t there enough frameworks available to avoid Webpack? Seems pretty low level for app developers these days.

I’ve done Webpack configurations and Browserify before that. I’ll be glad if I never go there again.

Google Docs is pretty efficient. It loads incredibly fast and you never have to manually update it. But, it clear has limits… 30MB Word files.

Slightly slower is an understatement. Absolutely useless on touch. No fault of Atlassian, but why use the HTML 5 API knowing it’s trash on mobile?

Infrastructure as code can be useful for complex systems.

These days, the cloud providers have pretty good abstractions that IMO diminish the need for IaC for many use cases.

Being multi-paradigm with a Java like syntax doesn’t hurt.

Are you talking into a mirror?

Can do this for free via GCP BigQuery console.

Is this something that can be done without being in Google? And it would not be free in the end right? As BQ is not free in the end either...

I believe AlloyDB is GCP’s flavor of AWS Aurora.

We shouldn’t assume that this schema was designed all at once, but rather is the product of evolution. For example, maybe the external_id was added after the initial release in order to support the creation of unique ids in the application layer.
