Slowly forgetting how your auto-pilot app is deployed
So my tiny side project has been running on auto-pilot, serving users for 6+ months now. Near zero attention from me.
This is awesome, but the scariest part is slowly forgetting everything about how the app is deployed & developed.. it just took me a long time to remember how the local dev environment is set up, if cloudflare caching is active, etc.
Any other indie hackers with similar experiences running long-term, auto-pilot projects?
I have same problem. I am documenting most of the things that I think important in my one note
Agree. Documentation + CI/CD are your friends.
Yes, sure, I built a little SaaS back in 2015 and it just kept running. No need for restart , just some OS patches and backend updates now and then. But the frameworks that the fronted was dependent on slowly get out of sync and third party services started to get buggy.
