of course programmers will keep on complaining but in the end, it does not matter. if it works, don't fix it. doing rewrites brings nothing to the business, only to the developers. sure, the rewrite will save dev hours along the way but the rewrite itself is not free so all in all...if it works...
btw this is also why language design of composition instead of inheritance is so important for big projects. you will learn this way way too late if you do not get it already.
i have done two event-sourced project in a row and i am trying to make a reusable library that i can use from now on, which will allow me to write projections so i am not tied to any schema and can build any data structures i'll need.
stupid thing - write a shopping list app that will notify me when i am on my way home and near a grocery store
cool thing - lets make a database that does it all, schema is irrelevant
stupid thing - i just want a cheap theme for my wordpress blog that doesn't require me to know programming
cool thing - kafka it too complex, lets make a faster, simpler and better one
stupid thing - did i miss my bus or is it just late?
....just incredibly boring things that won't interest any programmer but ordinary people find useful.
all i can say is avoid cloud like a plague and look for stupid-simple-things. even if it does not excite you, those ideas usually work the best. don't try to outsmart people, you will fail. look for simple opportunities. and if you cannot make MVP within 3 months, forget the idea and move on.
iirc google requires another email as backup address for exactly this kind of situation. don't you have one set up instead of just a phone number?
Basic plan has 40 Gib/month egress = 0,0001808 * 40 = 0,00723 MB/s
Professional plan has 100 Gib/month = 0,0001808 * 100 = 0,0018 MB/s
That's not much if you need to server some actual content. This is really just to run cheap workers that don't require much cpu/ram and networking. And even then it might be cheaper to just get a vps.
Though, obviusly, I am not talking about transcoding one codec to another.
