The US dollar would like a word

The idea is that a payment processor isn't involved at all

That's why you run Redis Sentinel in production

Would love to see what that Intercom replacement looks like! :)

Wait until you hear about the US Dollar.

Even with a dedicated IP, SendGrid has always had poor deliverability.

I switched to Postmark years ago and never looked back.

I'm near a major city. Your comments unfortunately do not align with my experience, nor the experience of several people that I know. Testing has confirmed this.

It amazes me that people still use and recommend Cloudflare's DNS servers for resolution. Cloudflare DNS does not support EDNS Client Subnet. As a result, DNS queries resolved by their service are likely to return IP addresses for many CDNs that are physically farther away from you, leading to a slower internet browsing and viewing experience.

Sacrificing performance for a faster lookup time makes no sense in 2026. This is the one area where I continue to use Google DNS as it just works. Use anything but Cloudflare in this case, please.

Parent pro-tip: Next time the iPad is having Bluey episode playback issues, check to see if you're actually using Cloudflare DNS.

Sure, you are only proving my point even further. I just happen to have a personal policy of "no boxes in prod under 16 cores". :)

450 million pageviews on Vercel = $46,000

450 million pageviews on a single 16c/32t OVH box with nginx and a 3 Gbps connection = $245

While I agree with your comment about learning more by doing the work yourself, you don't need to be a billionaire to acquire one of these. Yes, they are expensive. A typical pro-level WRC spec WRX STI rally car from Vermont SportsCar goes for about $600k. They are actually very reliable though. And thats a bargain compared to just about any modern hypercar.

Rally cars also must be street legal because they are driven on public roads between stages.
