I recently started a side-project with a "code everything in prod" approach for fun. I've done this many times over the past 20 years and the bot traffic is usually harmless, but this has been different. I haven't advertised the hostname anywhere, and in less than 24 hours I had a bunch of spam form submissions. I've always expected this after minor publicity, but not "start server, instantly get raided by bots performing interactions"
