Not really. All of my team mate in sysadmin team have degree in computer science or informatics

Is this sysadmin or devops?

I use webfaction to host multiple wordpress sites and so far the performance and support is good. it support python / Django hosting

For email I think it's better to use email service like google apps, office 365, zoho mail or fastmail.

For account registration emails, it's better to use transactional email service like sendgrid, mandrill, mailgun, mailjet, or postmark.

Have you looked at AWS trusted advisor? You can get advise from cost, performance, etc.

No, I will look at it, thanks!

Why rust? Why not using Go instead of C++

Why Rust? Because Rust has excellent concurrency support and memory safety, both of which are useful for databases.

For something as low-level and performance-intensive as a database intended to replace MySQL/Postgres, Go wouldn't work because it's garbage collected.

I feel Rust is still not old enough to be used on databases. It is a relatively new language with an amazing future. But it might not be a good choice for a new product that is meant to be the workhorse of a system. C++ is the correct and safe choice under the circumstances. Good question though. Its always beneficial to question architectural choices in order to see the other side of the coin. :)

It might be because I was watching MemSQL for a long time, but I think Brodlist is probably years away from being used in production. Rust is stable now, so I think there's an acceptable tradeoff between the risk of Rust lacking an ecosystem and the benefits of using Rust.

Anyway, it doesn't matter that much in the end. I was just curious.

Go is used on many low-level performance-intensive databases, InfluxDB, CockroachDB and etcd just off the top of my head.

+1 for Backblaze.

Using online backup services is way better, it's accesible from anywhere as far as you have internet. Your data is also being saved redundantly on the data center.

Unfortunately due to our internet connection currently (satellite, very limited), internet options are impractical. We are super limited on data, 15GB/mo :(

Using Cloudflare / Sucuri in front of your website won't hurt

Use any provider that you most comfortable with or the one that have data center nearest to you. since at the end they are on open container project
