If you have an iOS app using the firebase sdk, you may very well be getting an alert from Firebase for an increase in crashes. Looking at the rate of comments in the github issue, this is impacting a lot of people.

I just started using Planetscale for small projects here and there. More and more of my projects are FE-heavy and don't require a big dedicated database (NextJS apps, mostly hardcoded designs or headless CMS like Sanity). There are times where I need to store just small bits of data, maybe contact form submissions or something. It's been super great to be able to quickly hook up planetscale to a nextjs api function and have that data persisted within a matter of minutes.

I've yet to use it on anything large-scale, though, so I can't speak to performance when you're really pushing it.

I've always just leveraged existing connections. I'm not great at selling myself, but I've done a lot of good work for a handful of people that ARE good at talking me up. Reach out to people that you've done good work for and let them know that you are looking for some side gigs. You might not get anything right away, but things could start trickling in. This has opened up a lot of opportunities for me.

Don't accidentally commit `node_modules` - that'd be a costly mistake!

There’s not much to the article right now (developing story), but how big of a blow is this to Amazon? And how big of a boon to Microsoft? I realize that this is likely because of the people that I surround myself with, but I don’t know anybody who actually uses Azure. Is Azure’s core business large corporations/government?
