I'm a solo dev focusing on webapps (python/nodejs/go). In the past, I've been deploying for production on Linux VMs (Hetzner) or AWS Elastic Beanstalk for small to medium audiences.

For an upcoming project, I'm looking for a hosting solution that would ideally tick the following boxes

- managed (server)

- (GitHub) CI/CD integration with push to deploy

- zero downtime deployments

- Docker containers, maybe multi container apps

- reasonably priced

I've been looking into Digital Ocean's app platform and render.com mainly, but of course the omnipresent AWS is also on the list.

What are you using to deploy (small/medium) webapps in 2021 as a solo dev?

Working as a software engineer, I'm sitting/standing (==> not moving!) for ~8 hours a day. Six years into the profession, I'm starting to feel the negative effects this has on my body, especially my back.

I eat healthy food and I do sports ~2x a week, but still I feel I need to go beyond this to avoid a physical breakdown before I turn 40 (or even 35).

So my question is: How do you not ruin your back/body (as an engineer)?

Whenever I work on software, I find that it usually has some parts that shine and others that smell.

This makes me wonder if there's also code smells in "big" software like iOS or Gmail that should be rewritten?

Any experience?

Being very much concerned about the ecological crisis in general and climate change in particular, I would like to turn towards dedicating my career to the attempt of contributing to the prevention of that crisis.

I have a background in agronomy, have been working as a full stack web developer (python + javascript) for six years and have been getting into data science and machine learning lately. I'm based in central Europe.

Which clean tech company is hiring (remote / freelance) software engineers?
