Database - Amazon RDS #1

Open mdwiltfong opened 10 months ago

mdwiltfong commented 10 months ago

The project will probably require a database. I've been looking for an opportunity to play with Amazon RDS. I don't know if you would be interested in trying to implement this AWS service with this project?

My goal is to just practice with the tech, and I think we can stay within the free range while developing.

Let me know @Jamesllllllllll !

Hey @mdwiltfong !

Absolutely. I'm finished the FE path in CA and currently working on the back-end portion to complete the FS path. I would love to follow along and contribute where I can to the back-end portion.

Nice! Let me do some research and propose a game plan, and we'll go from there.

Hey @mdwiltfong - I have the implementation working for fetching and checking link status on the development branch.

Should we merge that branch with production so work can continue on the Amazon RDS branch?

Do you want to save any of this for Thursday?

So despite how much research I've done, I think using RDS just is too expensive for this. Out of the box it's a dollar a day, which rounds up to ~$20/month. I need to develop my AWS skills to reduce that price. At the moment i'm overwhelmed trying to set it up.

For the sake of finishing the db portion of this, I think we should just work with individual psql instances, and use scripts to synchronize the state of the db. I'll write a PR for this.
