I do the same. Dozens of commits to get GH Actions working correctly.
bellttyler | 5 years ago | on: The architecture behind a one-person tech startup
In the beginning my startup only had 2 people. A designer (my friend) and me (a developer).
For our frontend we used Webflow. My friend was able to create the entire marketting site, and all the app UI's without needing help from me. Webflow is an awesome tool for that sort of thing.
For the backend, I built a simple Node/Express API and hosted via Heroku.
To this day, everything is still running fine and the API is processing roughly 200 million requests a month. The total cost to host that on heroku is $50/mo.
You can definitely have a simple stack but have it be highly scaleable!

bellttyler | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: What kinds of cookies are “required” for a website to function?
Some folks have already mentioned this, but typically if a website has user login/signup, cookies are used to "identify" the user once logged in.
This enables the websites backend to know who is making the request for authentication/authorization purposes.

Great read, thanks for sharing.
The company I work for is currently transitioning from Vue to React and so far it's been a positive experience.

This was a great read – thanks for sharing!
I've always been a huge fan of how Stripe handles their webhooks. They are pretty much doing everything listed in your article.
