#indiedev #easyticketsapp

@easyticketsapp was down today due to a combination of occurrences. The page was mainly not accessible for over an hour. The main reason was a sudden spike in requests from events and bookings.
Because if a misconfigured instance deployment no new instances have been deployed.
Most of the users have been nice and informed me about the outage.
And then there is one outstanding... 🙄

Am I procrastinating to write a blog article about the newest feature implemented this week into #easyticketsapp ? Totally 😵

#easyticketsapp Neuerungen November 2024
Tatsächlich ist es shon ein Jahr her als ich den letzten Artikel mit Neuerungen für easy-tickets.app veröffentlicht habe.
Das habe ich nun versuch nachzuholen und alle Updates des letzten Jahres zusammengefasst.
https://easy-tickets.app/blog/neuigkeiten-november-2024/

On of my customers of the #SaaS platform #easyticketsapp has currently the situation, that someone jerk, kidd, or fool is booking thousends of tickets over the platform with disposable email addresses.

I already implemented an email confirmation flow to mitigate such things but with disposable addresses it get's harder.

Currently I'm blocking the IP which worked yesterday but today there are again bookings.

It never get's boring 😵

I’m starting with the preparation to move the whole infrastructure for #easyticketsapp away from #googlecloud to #hetzner.

Currently thinking of using #coolifyio as #paas solution and have the whole thing running on 2 (3) #vps

I need:

- #postgresql
- #django application
- #djangoq2 worker

Plus maybe #sonarqube or similar for code quality and #devsecops.

In addition I want to also setup a QA environment since I’m missing that currently.

With developing #easyticketsapp one goal is to be as data frugal and #dataprivacy respecting as possible. Not always an easy undertaking.
I could manage to

- no third party cookies
- static files hosted on own server
- analytics via self hosted #matomoanalytics
- anonymizing data after 3 months after a event

Still to do:

- migrating infrastructure away from #googlecloud to a German / Europe based provider
- individual fields for different data needs for events

For #easyticketsapp I implemented something to store activities that happened on a ticket model in #django.

Know I searched found out there is already a package available that does exactly what I need and more 😩

I'm currently using #github #actions as my #cicd pipeline tool to deploy #easyticketsapp.

I would like to learn more about #devsecops and set up a new pipeline.

Are there any best practices and recommended #foss tools?

I know #jenkins for CI-CD but how about #dependency tracking and the #security part?

Was up early today (could not sleep anymore). So I used the time to update some dependencies for easy-tickets.app and merged a PR that I was holding back, since I wanted to deploy it during not so busy hours.

Everything went well. Now enjoying the morning with the family.

#BuildInPublic #easyticketsapp #django

Gerade die folgende E-Mail erhalten:

Ich habe Fragen...

1. Wer nutzt heute noch #msn ?
2. Wo bleibt der Betreff?
3. Was soll ich hier jetzt machen?

#easyticketsapp ist eine Plattform. Ich reserviere Tickets sicher nicht für jeden Gast händisch....

Mir ist gerade aufgefallen, dass das letzte Update-Video zur Entwicklung von #easyticketsapp schon eine Weile her ist.

Ich würde auch schon bereits gefragt, ob die Plattform noch aktiv weiterentwickelt wird.

Wird wohl Zeit ein neues Video aufzunehmen.

I paused the development of my #SaaS application in November 2023.

I needed a break from development and had to sort some things mentally around this project.

TBH around xmas I was about to quit the whole thing, maybe sell it and start something new.

But now I'm back again. Found the spirit again and will drive it forward.
I get here and there emails from users, telling me how useful the app is. This gives be a huge boost.

I have to many side projects! Again!

Somehow I managed to get again to a point where I have so many small things going on that I feel paralyzed and tend to avoid doing anything.

Especially I neglected #easyticketsapp the whole November since I played around with my #homelab and #3dprinting.

I have to concentrate back on the business again.

Ooh that was fast. #django5 has been yesterday released and today I already have the #dependabot #pr to bump Django for #easyticketsapp.

Unfortunately the #cicd pipeline fails so I have to investigate what breaks with the new version. Best case only some #dependencies
