⚡ Scaling solo?
Most solo devs hit a wall when their side project gets traction: servers choke, configs break, users complain.
With Doprax:
👉 Focus on growth, not firefighting.

With Doprax:
• Add more resources with a single click • No downtime, no migration chaos • Transparent pricing so you know exactly what scaling costs👉 Focus on growth, not firefighting.
💡 Did you know?
Many developers spin up full VMs when a lightweight container would do.
Others deploy everything in one region without testing latency or routing.
Small tweaks in infra decisions = big gains in performance and cost.

Why so many developers still choose Django in 2025:
Django isn’t “new.” It’s been around since 2005.
Yet it still powers startups, SaaS apps, APIs, dashboards, and even AI tools.
Here’s why:
🧩 Batteries included: Auth, admin, ORM, sessions — all ready out of the box.
⚡️ Rapid dev speed: Build a backend in hours, not weeks.
🛡️ Security built-in: Django ships with protection against the most common web attacks.
🔁 Scales with you: Start small, go big — same codebase, same framework.
It’s not about chasing hype — it’s about using what works.
And Django still works.

Where did the term “bug” come from? 🐞
“Bug” in computing comes from actual insects interfering with early hardware. The most famous incident: in 1947, engineers working on the Harvard Mark II relay computer found a real moth stuck in a relay, which caused a malfunction. They taped it into their logbook with the note: “First actual case of bug being found.”
But the word bug was used in engineering before that. Thomas Edison used it in the late 1800s to describe mechanical or electrical faults:
“It’s not the machine’s fault, it’s a bug in the system.”
So the Mark II story didn’t invent the term; it just made it iconic in computing culture.
In short:
- Origin: 19th-century engineering slang for glitches.
- Popularized in tech: 1940s, after the literal moth incident.
- Meaning today: Any flaw, defect, or unintended behavior in software or hardware.
It’s a perfect metaphor: small, annoying, hard to find, and capable of breaking big systems.

💡 DevOps cost tip: Don’t pay for idle time.
Many platforms bill per hour, even if your container runs for 3 minutes.
Doprax bills per second, so you only pay for real usage.
It’s fair billing for developers who automate, experiment, and scale smartly.
🔹 Example:
Run a container for 5 minutes, not 1 hour?
You pay 5 minutes, not 60.
That’s 12× less waste instantly.
Efficiency isn’t just in your code. It’s in your billing.

Interesting article about AI & work.
Top performers who use AI will become much bigger, while average performers will kind of stay where they are. The winners will be the ones who freely experiment with AI in their work environment, who ask better questions (= write better prompts, iterate on the prompts).
