About

Upstream's production stack, seven pinned images, none of them built from source.
The owner account is decided by a config value before the hostname is reachable, so nobody else can claim it.
Talkyard brings its own PostgreSQL and ElasticSearch, so there is no managed database on the bill.
The heaviest entry in this library: two JVMs, Postgres, redis, nginx and a renderer on one VM.
