My child is old enough now to stay home alone during short errands. Since we don't have an old school land line it would be cool to take inspiration from a project like this and build her a "red line" device that gives her immediate access to reach me without breaking down and buying her a cell phone yet.
But what would I hack together for the software side of that?
Quasi-related: what are some good hosted alternatives to AWS dynamodb / GCloud Firestore that are a) fast b) affordable at scale c) have a good local dev experience?
A hosted disk based redis protocol compliant capable of sub TB size datasets would be a dream for me.
I tend to utilize bigquery's external connections and scheduled queries to periodically clone my "hot" PG data to an BQ table for long term storage and analysis.
It seems so much easier to go PG=>BQ than the other way around.
Thanks for that. Helpful. I know the property is a customer of AT&T wireless now, so presumably it works at least a little bit. I think for situations like the docker scenario you described it would make sense to keep a cloud machine running and do stuff like that on the remote machine.
