This is a simple example of how to setup Prometheus to collect Caddy metrics.

This time really simple solution to submit form using GO. This example allows you to submit form with fields, and also attach file

Object storage is getting more and more popular. AWS started, but nowadays, almost every provider has it. Recently Cloudflare announced its availability. DigitalOcean call them Spaces.

So today, we are trying to upload a file to an S3 type of storage with a presigned URL.

TL;DR: how to generate the correct URL and upload data into it.

I built a simple worker to do some magic with images by using Go & VIPS . I chose VIPS because it is blazing fast compared to other Go image processing libraries. So this is the story about what went wrong.
