Ha ha, spring security is tricky and high chance may surprise some one while "boot"strapping a new project. But once done, it is out of way.
I did not like much of the XML, because it always seemed lot of duplication. All you doing is copying bean definitions and changing bean id and class/interface most of the time. But it became non issue over time. Now spring boot made it really easy with all those annotations.
If X is cost/per user, Y is your profit margin, X+Y is usually offered.
But for 5000+ users, profit will be like Z = 5000+ * Y.
So question can be how much of Z, you can let go (assuming you want to market to future customers, using this account as reference/example).
Question is, are they actually going to onboard all 5000+ ? You don't want to run in losses, if you offer rates, below your operational cost. May be ask them to do pilot run with subset of user with same rate, how much pain they will cause? Then, you can decide accordingly.
That sound risky, but hey, that is what business is all about. risk/reward ratio? I am afraid, there is no definite answer.
Whatever is the domain/industry, do you have some baseline pricing to compete against ?
Virtual Threads are still in preview phase. People will wait for stable release or at least someone to try in prod and give lightning talk or publish paper. Seems little premature now.
This is such an good news. I hope more countries join the spacewagon. Space is final frontier for humanity. Once we figure out consciousness, load it into our AI superlord robots and send them for interstellar travel, who knew what they will bring. Possibilities unlimited.
A video call with fellow human of another planet will be dope. Till then, live long and prosper!.
Me and along with people who do not work on DotNet or iOS app development, that includes Java, PHP, BI, Salesforce and even Sales and Marketing guys use Ubuntu for last 15 years (50 - 70 people). We do normal dev stuff like program & emails & meetings & docker and etc.
When I installed Ubuntu on HP Pavillion dv4 laptop for one of the friend, who was casual user, said - what kind of OS is this, which is still working after 6 years. :)
