+description: "Like how do I approach storing sensitive user data in Bubble?"
+date: 2025-01-07T21:34:12-08:00
+draft: false
+category: article
+---
+
+
+This is a stream of concious post where I go through the process of figuring out 
+how I am going to store user data in my [bubble project](https://git.shockrah.xyz/shockrah/bubble)
+
+Schema for the users can be found here: [link](https://git.shockrah.xyz/shockrah/bubble/src/branch/main/db/setup-tables.sql)
+
+
+# Pre-requisites
+
+* Using Postgres 
+* Hashed and salted passwords
+
+# User ID's
+
+By default I was going to use regular ID's that increment on each insertion.
+Considering using some form of UUID's for the sake of a slight increase in sec.
+Even though this isn't a major form of security, every layer towards
+better security counts, and I see this as one more layer to add.
+
+
+UUID's tend to suffer from indexing issues but later versions of UUID seem to
+have this figured out.
+
+After some reading v7 seems like the move.
+
+* Time based meaning sorting ( and thus searching ) is reasonably performant
+* Sufficient entropy for this case ( 74 bits ). We want ****some* entropy but also
+don't want to nuke performance
+* While we want to make it harder to guess, aiming for "unguessable" is just not
+reasonable. UUIDv4 is best for that but compromises performance so hard it's not
+worth it in the grand scheme of things
+
+
+IDK v7 feels like a good middle ground for security + performance for the **user id**

+description: Finally moving away from AWS little by little

+
+
+# What and Why
+
+
+For some  time now I've been trying my best to get away from using AWS
+for my infrastructure due to the constantly rising price of everything.
+
+
+## Main causes for higher cost
+
+* Fargate
+
+This one is mostly my own fault lmao since Fargate ( without an application load
+balancer ) is actually not that bad in terms of pricing. The issue comes in
+if you are trying to host a variety of services like myself on one host.
+Services which, are only ever really used for personal and singular use.
+
+Recall that with fargate we are paying for things on a core count and if you
+containize everything this effectively means you are paying per container
+more/less. Couple this with lots of contains and your pricing starts to
+get really expensive really fast.
+
+* Application Load Balancer
+
+These are just expensive for small projects what else can I say...
+I wouldn't suggest hosting personal sites behind one of these basically ever.
+
+* Scaling
+
+If you seriously need an ALB to sit in front of lots of microservices then
+you're probably dealing with either an interesting project or just a need
+to handle a lot of traffic. After a while I didn't really want a web server
+to be my "interesting project" since this ended up eating way more of my time
+than I would have ever liked it to...
+
+
+
+# Why Vultr
+
+shit's cheap yo...
+
+10$ - 20$ roughly for a bare minimum Kubernetes cluster or about 10$ per
+host as I'm doing now. Provision hosts with Terraform then configure with
+Ansible and you have a somewhat reasonable infrastructure for hosting
+personal projects.
+
+## What Do I host now?
+
+* shockrah.xyz
+* git.shockrah.xyz <-- Gitea instance
+* temper.tv <-- vr/funsies blog
+
+Basically I'm hosting more stuff more effectively and it's an infrastructure
+that is ""(([[{{platform agnostic}}]]""given its all Terraform anyway and
+Ansible can be used basically anywhere there's a host.

+
+# Context
+
+A while back I created [Clippable](https://git.shockrah.xyz/shockrah/clippable),
+which was meant to be a way for me to share gaming clips with others because I
+didn't like using streamable, youtube, etc. I'm still not a huge fan of it
+especially considering I have the technical know how to build my own clip
+sharing system/website.
+
+Now that I'm once again looking for work :wink: I'm in a position where I
+need to have a new "main" project to bring up in interviews & resumes.
+My choice this time around of course is [Clippable](https://git.shockrah.xyz/shockrah/clippable)
+which should provide ample room for me to _demonstrate_ my skills.
+
+_Also I can actually use the end result which is nice_.
+
+
+# What is it?
+
+
+I'll be honest, it's a self-hosted streamable clone whose
+front-end got a huge facelift and is now being packaged with Gitea.
+
+# Now what?
+
+Now comes the fun part which is packaging everything and updating docs
+so that this can be fully presentable and remain as a proper "receipt"
+of my skill because it's easier if my work can speak for itself in interviews :wink:
+
+# Where?
+
+The link to the project is here :link: https://git.shockrah.xyz/shockrah/clippable
+
+Link to the docs is here :link: https://shockrah.gitlab.io/clippable/
