I was having issues running some background tasks with my Django app. I didn’t want to use heavy packages like Celery and Redis. I searched online and saw that I could use threading, but since my service is hosted on serverless, using threading wouldn’t be easy.

Once result is 201, so the backend can do its work without the user waiting. The user just gets redirected to the dashboard while, in the backend, it sends the Telegram message and the email. It’s actually working fine and great. I’m just trying to think of what bottlenecks

I’ve been working on something exciting: a Journaling & Mood Tracking app 📝💭 👉 Try it here: reflectly-frontend.vercel.ap… Here’s what I’ve built so far:
✅ User registration & login (JWT Auth)
✅ Journaling system (write, edit, track)
✅ Mood tracking with weekly insights

✅ Dashboard (trends, streaks, summaries) ✅ AI-powered reflections & insights (LangChain GPT Pinecone) Tech Stack: Frontend →Next.js Backend → FastAPI, PostgreSQL, 
AI & Infra → LangChain, OpenAI, Pinecone

🚀 I built a project with FastAPI as the backend.Deployed first on Railway but free credits maxed out 😅 so I moved to Vercel. It went live but requests were slow ⏳ and I even hit 500 errors. Meanwhile my 7 Django apps on Vercel run smooth.

Did some digging 👨‍💻
Turns out ASGI runtime doesn’t play well with serverless (Vercel):
❄️ Cold starts
🔌 No DB pooling
🧠 No in-memory cache
⏱ Async wasted That’s why Django (WSGI) feels faster, but FastAPI struggles.

I recently built a Shopify based ecommerce site.Everything was working except people in Nigeria couldn’t access it without a VPN At first,I thought he restricted it himself.But just yesterday, while scrolling through TikTok 😅 I saw someone mention rerouting DNS using Cloudflare

So I gave it a try: Moved the DNS records from Namecheap to Cloudflare 🌐 Enabled proxy (orange cloud) on key records Waited for the changes to propagate And just like that BOOM, the site started working everywhere, including Nigeria 🇳🇬!

I helped my friend build his clothing brand website from scratch using a custom Shopify theme here’s how I did it, why we chose Shopify, and why some users in Nigeria may need a VPN to access it 👇

2🛠️ Why Shopify? we used Shopify for a few key advantages: •💳 Built-in payment and checkout •🛍️ Inventory & product management out of the box •🔒 PCI compliance & security •🚀 Hosting & speed optimized •🧩 Extendable with apps APIs
