Google Cloud Platform 2021
Appsheet
Work on the Venture Wellness app continues . Appsheet is mostly but not entirely codeless. We now have a fully functioning Beta with some charting and an admin consol as well as some beta testing in progress.
Optimization
Moores law extended to costs translates to the price of haredware dropping by half every 18 months. This should translate into savings. My code samples are moved to git and docker hub. With static web pages and content delivery networks there is no longer a need to run a server ! The old vm machine I was running on GCP has been discontinued. My productivity has skyrocketted using remote coding with VSCODE and my costs have dropped to less than a quarter.
Docker
As mentioned earlier with Docker it was easy to move my old legacy code off the server and into images on docker hub and stop paying monthly fees.
I have found that an addtional time saver with Docker is exploring tech stacks. Setting up just the right packages on linux with node , ruby on rails ,
php and other softward can be very time consuming. It cannot be overstated how much time can be saved doing a quick docker install when checking out a new project. Ruby on Rails, Camunda are amoung the few stacks I explored over the last month with Docker.
