First of all, thank you to all the amazing things you do for the self-hoster, FOSS comunity ! We won't be able to have those shiny things without you ! I'm not a dev and have just played arround with python (and I know how most of you feel about it 🤫) so I have very limited knowledge regarding programming languages.

I know whats a low level language (C, C#, rust?), general scripting tools and even heard about assembly. And it always baffles me how all those coding lines rule and make our microchips communicate and understand each other, but that's another story ! This is about golang !

As a self-hoster enthousiast, when I'm looking at a github repository, I always check the programing language used, even though I have no idea if those integrate well with each other or if it's the best programming language for that kind of application.

And everytime I see golang, It makes me smile and have a feeling it's going to be a good application. I know it also depends on the program

Hey all!

I'm seeking guidance. I have a lot of apps that use ORMs like Mongoose or Sequelize or Sqlalchemy, or even just init-db scripts with raw SQL. Point is a lot of apps have changes to the data layer. When we program and make apps they tend to describe how they need to see a database. Sometimes its no trivial feat to do an upgrade - and even if you have a CI/CD pipeline in place what does that look like to have something like even lemmy upgrade in a container.

If you have these apps in production how are you handling these apps? Both developer perspective and devops welcomed.

I see the devs offering insight into maybe how the backend recognizes database state, while the devops perhaps either describing process and implementation.

Anyone have experience using Nim? The TLDR that I am seeing is compiled portable python/js replacement in a way.

I was thinking about trying to write a webserver with it and was wondering if anyone had any previous experience with it.
