The idea of the book is to pull away a lot of the hype of big cloud providers, show practical steps how we run things over at Talk Python (podcast, courses, e-commerce, and more).I hope some of you find this refreshing!

You can read the first 1/3 online for free. The rest is available DRM free.



Something is wrong with the js/css on the site - for everyone with dark mode the <strong> text is grey against white background - super hard to read.


The dark mode still has a white background so there's no reason to have it.


What are you talking about for dark mode on the site. There is no option to toggle the theme on the site. In the book, inside of readers like kindle on ipad, maybe.

But for the site as you mention, there is no dark mode. Is this some janky extension you use that isn't working? That's note the site's fault.


If the user's OS and/or browser is set to dark mode. The site doesn't need to have a switch; its CSS has the media queries.


Ah, the change was so subtle I didn't realize it was happening. I updated the site so it's nice regardless of theme (dark/light) on the OS.


How much of the book is AI generated? Please be honest.


Zero percent of the text is AI generated. The image, yes, but I spent 9 months writing this book personally.


Amazing what a Hetzner dedi and docker compose can do


I recently compared AWS and Hetzner, not only in terms of raw compute costs but also by factoring in the personnel costs required for operation. I found this perspective particularly interesting: https://beuke.org/hetzner-aws/


Seems interesting, read the online summary. I am curious to read about your part on Chapter 14 (I am part of Litestar maintainer). Thank you for the book anyway !


Very cool Kumzy. Litestar is awesome, I interviewed some of the folks (you?) on the podcast. I give it some good press in that chapter.


You noted using persistent volumes for storing data, e.g.:

  docker volume create umami-volume
How do you manage data backup and restore?


Hey, you just run whatever backup command you would regularly do via compose.

For example, if you run `sqldump --db umami ...` in regular postgres (which is what they are using IIRC), then you run:

docker exec umami "sqldump --db umami ..."

Or something almost exactly like this (just from memory here and I wrote that script a year ago).
