I Deployed My Own Cute Lil’ Private Internet (a.k.a. VPC)

Tailwind CSS DBeaver Caddy
  1. A utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom user interfaces.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Each app’s front end is built with Qwik and uses Tailwind for styling. The server-side is powered by Qwik City (Qwik’s official meta-framework) and runs on Node.js hosted on a shared Linode VPS. The apps also use PM2 for process management and Caddy as a reverse proxy and SSL provisioner. The data is stored in a PostgreSQL database that also runs on a shared Linode VPS. The apps interact with the database using Drizzle, an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) for JavaScript. The entire infrastructure for both apps is managed with Terraform using the Terraform Linode provider, which was new to me, but made provisioning and destroying infrastructure really fast and easy (once I learned how it all worked).

  2. DBeaver - Universal Database Manager and SQL Client.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    It’s cool to show a demo and talk about the infrastructure with cute diagrams, but I always want to prove, even if just to myself, that things work as expected. So I thought a good way to test it would be to try connecting directly to both databases using my database client, DBeaver.
