Just want to note that every time I see it I’m impressed with the project, great job so far.

The fact that you’ve been running this with WP is also a really huge use case/demonstration of trust in your different software — IMO this should be on the README prominently.

These days I personally just ignore projects that insist on MySQL — Postgres has won in my mind and is the better choice. The only way I’d run something like a WP hosting service is with a tool like Marmot.

One thing you might find interesting is trying marmot with something like Litestream v2 — marmot of course has its own replication system but I like the idea of having a backup system writing to s3. It seems trivial (as you’ve noted that you can still work directly on the s3 file) but would be a nice blog post/experiment to see “worked out” so to speak.(and probably wouldn't sink to the bottom of hn!)
