Vercel is really good, but I recently made Cloudflare Workers with next js my default deployment (falling back to Vercel) and I'm definitely not regretting it... It may not work for everyone, but I still recommend giving it a try

5/5 🎯 Bottom line + pro tips If agencies can't crack the crypto, your threat is keys & opsec: 1. Use a long passphrase (5–7 random words) 2. Dismount when idle; fully shut down, don't sleep (RAM/key attacks exist) 3. Ensure hiberfile is encrypted; consider VC's RAM-key protection setting

100

4/5 ⚡ 10 minute setup 1. Download from the official repo (verify sigs) 2. Create an encrypted container or full-disk volume 3. Mount → work → dismount 4. Keep backups of unencrypted essentials like recovery info (securely stored)

100

3/5 🔧 Why we (devs) like it - Cross-platform (Win/Mac/Linux) - CLI automation + scripting - Hidden volumes (plausible deniability but use carefully; research has poked holes in some scenarios) - Fast on modern CPUs, open source, no proprietary dependencies

2/5 📜 Receipts from real cases - 🇺🇸 2018: Court filing notes the FBI couldn't decrypt VeraCrypt protected devices and sought to compel unlocking instead - 🇧🇷 2010: Brazilian banker case: after months of effort (incl. FBI help) - No public evidence of a VeraCrypt backdoor

🚨 Kernel panic nuked one of my Ubuntu AI servers on a Sunday morning bsky.app/profile/jorg... Lost my prime build time ☕️ These 2 commands helped me restore an identical setup 1. Backup your APT config (repos, keys, prefs) 👇1/3 #BuildInPublic #SelfHosted #Automation #Backups #IndieDev #WebDev

Hahahaha yeah. Thank you for making me laugh 😄

000

That is exactly what is happening 😅

Woke up ready to ship… and then I see THIS 😱 Debugging before coffee should be illegal I hope your day is going better... #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #DevLife #WebDev #Ubuntu #KernelPanic #Linux

@julienetie.bsky.social That was a really good reply, and I'm completely in agreement. Not every tool is a hammer. I also really liked your point about using actions. Forgot to highlight that one!

🧵 4/4 Cache API works great for: ✅ API responses that change hourly/daily ✅ Computed data with short TTL ✅ Anything under 128MB Don't use it for: ❌ User file uploads ❌ Data you need for months ❌ Cross-region consistency

000

🧵 3/4 Performance comparison: 🚀 Cache API: <10ms response time (edge cache) 🚀 R2: 20-50ms (object storage) Developer experience: 🎯 Cache API: 3 lines of code 🎯 R2: SDK setup, bucket management, error handling

100

🧵 2/4 code change (simplified for example sake, but you get the point):

100

F*ck... I just realized I paid R2 $31 last month to cache API responses 🤦‍♂️ Cache API does this for free. Same speed, easier setup Took me 5 min to migrate. Monthly bill = $0 now The code swap 👇 (1/4) #buildinpublic #indiehacker #webdev #r2 #startup #solodev #workers #performance #serverless

🧵 4/4 Pro tip: Use multiple cron expressions for different frequencies in one workflow file. Each schedule triggers the same workflow, but conditional if statements run different jobs based on which cron fired. Result? One file manages your entire automation schedule.

000

🧵 3/4 Getting started takes 30 seconds: 1. Create ".github/workflows/cron.yml" 2. add your cron schedule 3. push to main That's literally it. GitHub handles provisioning, execution, scaling, monitoring. #IndieHackers Stop overthinking automation. Just use #GitHubActions.

100

🧵 2/4 Perfect for automating: ✍️ - Auto posting on BlueSky 🔄 - Daily backup scripts 📊 - Metrics collection 🐛 - Health checks 📨 - Notification systems 💾 - Database cleanup tasks 🔍 - API monitoring All running in the cloud, tracked in git, completely free for public repos. #WebDev #TechTips

Imo, GitHub Actions as cron jobs might be the most underrated dev hack Why pay for cron services when GitHub Actions does it better? ✅ Free / cheap ✅ Scales ✅ Version control with git ✅ Huge marketplace of plugins Only catch: shortest interval is 1 min 👇 1/4 #BuildInPublic #Automation #DevTools

5/5 Example of backup script Backups aren't exciting until they save you 🫠

4/5 Upload to Drive with rclone gdrive is an rclone remote linked to your service account JSON. No surprise failures because a token expired. Runs daily via cron, no human input needed. For example:

3/5 Dump the database For example:

100

2/5 Why Google Drive? ✅ Practically free 🌍 Accessible from anywhere 🛠️ Simple restore I use a Service Account so it works headless, no expiring tokens 🤖 Perfect for cron jobs.

100

#Supabase backups are easy to forget, until you need them 😅 I don't have the built in ones in the free plan, so I set up Google Drive backups instead This is what I like to do 👇(1/5) #BuildInPublic #IndieHackers #DataBackup #Automation #Postgres #Rclone #DevLife #DevLife #OpenSource

GitHub - davila7/claude-code-templates: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code

4/4 Plus monitoring tools for your dev workflow: 📊 "--analytics" - Real-time session monitoring with performance metrics 🏥 "--health-check" - System diagnostics for optimal Claude Code setup Repo: github.com/davila7/clau... #Automation #CLI #Templates #DevTools

github.com

CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code - davila7/claude-code-templates

001

3/4 The automation hooks are my favorite part: - Blocks files with console.log from saving - Auto-runs Prettier after every edit - Type checks TypeScript on save - Runs tests when you modify files - Security audits package.json changes

2/4 Start by running: ✨ Detects React/Vue/Angular/Node automatically 🐍 Python support (Django/Flask/FastAPI) 🔧 Picks the right automation hooks 📦 Configures MCP servers There are also a lot of good templates to pick from. Most likely you will need to adapt them, but they are a great foundation 😄

100

I discovered today an open source CLI that reaaally speeds up #ClaudeCode setup npx claude-code-templates highly recommend it. it auto detects your project type, and configures everything, including templates These are some of the things I like👇1/4 #BuildInPublic #IndieHacker #OpenSource #WebDev

5/5 The best part? Zero-downtime updates. pm2 reload all ... gradually restarts workers while keeping your API online. Users never notice deployments happening. #PM2 handles Python, Ruby, and Bun too. Not just #nodeJS

000

4/5 #production deployment checklist: ✅ pm2 start app.js --name api ✅ pm2 startup (auto-start on server reboot) ✅ pm2 save (persist current processes) ✅ pm2 monit (real-time dashboard) Takes 2 minutes. Saves a sh*ton of headaches in the long run #ProcessManager #PM2

100

3/5 But here's where it gets interesting... pm2 start app.js -i max ... spawns one worker per CPU core and load balances between them My API went from handling ~x3 req/sec on the same $18 VPS Zero code changes needed #performance

100

2/5 The magic happens with: pm2 start app.js Your app immediately becomes: 🔄 Auto-restarts on crashes (no more manual fixes) 📊 Monitored with real time metrics ⚡ Runs in background as daemon process 🛡️ Protected with 1800+ automated tests #Scaling #DevTools #BackendDev

A few people have asked me recently: "How do you keep Node.js/Python/Bun apps running 24/7 in production without crashes or downtime?" I use a super simple tool to run prod ready API with: ✅ Auto restarts ✅ Load balancing ✅ Zero-downtime deploys Takes 1 command 👇 #BuildInPublic #DevOps #WebDev

Np! ☺️ I'm glad it was helpful

Advanced process manager for production Node.js applications. Load balancer, logs facility, startup script, micro service management, at a glance.

@andreagrandi.it you can keep the process in the background by adding "&" at the end of the command: bun run ccflare & if you want something more production ready, I recommend taking a look at pm2: pm2.keymetrics.io

4/4 Early results are promising for technical content creation I really like the idea of importing SVGs and animating them programmatically for developer documentation and presentations Still testing, but the potential is there 🎬 ❗Do you know anything better? #designtools

000

3/4 What I like: 🤖 Motion Copilot lets me describe animations in plain English 📁 100,000+ animation library for inspiration 🎯 Multiple export formats (Lottie, GIF, MP4, WebM) ⚡ Animations stay ultra-lightweight for web

100

2/4 The #workflow I'm testing as #indiedev 📊 Create diagrams in Figma/Illustrator → Export as SVG → Import to Lottie Creator → Add motion with AI-powered keyframes → Export as lightweight Lottie JSON

140

What's the best way to animate #svg fast? 🏎️💨 Been experimenting with #lottie Files Creator to build a pipeline that turns my static diagrams into animated infographics ⚡ The goal: Transform boring tech visuals into scroll-stopping animations What I'm testing 👇 #buildinpublic #webdev #motiondesign

4/4 Pro tip: - Monitor that context meter (bottom right) and /compact at 70% capacity instead of letting auto-compact kick in Your context is a resource... manage it like your AWS bill 📊💸

000

3/4 `/compact` = Smart compression 🗜️ - Summarizes context while preserving key info - You can specify what to keep: /compact preserve coding patterns we established - Perfect when: hitting 70% context limit, finishing a feature, or switching focus areas Think of it as: Intelligent bookmark system

100

2/4 `/clear` = Nuclear option ☢️ - Wipes ALL conversation history - Keeps your CLAUDE. md and current files - Perfect when: conversation went off track, switching tasks completely, or working on unrelated features Think of it as: CMD+N for your AI session

Jorge Lison @jorgelison.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

With Anthropic's new rate limits, I have been trying to save tokens I donno if you knew, but #ClaudeCLI has 2 underrated context commands: 1. `/clear` 🧹 Reset context entirely 2. `/compact` 📦 Compress your context without losing key info Use them wisely 👇 #buildinpublic #indiehackers #webdev #ai
