I'm confused by what you're asking. I'm gonna answer this in the way I interpreted it. Docker isn't just for hosting, but also making sure everything is consistent when running. I prefer dockerizing some of my applications because it makes debugging easier or I don't want a web server I'm running directly connected to my main machine. It's literally ab comfort, so if you don't feel comfortable using docker, there's no reason to use it :)
Ive never heard of a language for probabilistic modeling before but thank you good sir for this fine contribution to the library of random facts that is my brain.
I bet you could make a lambda function that periodically backs up your database. That's probably the route that I'd go down because it's more cost effective than other things. Only thing I'd be concerned ab is configuring perms for the lambda function and s3 bucket. Take this with a grain of salt, I've only recently started getting into cloud stuff.
I would say probably submit a bug report that says what you were using as ur dev env at the time. If they patched it, they'll delete your report and if they haven't patched it, you've given them some great info. Either way it doesn't hurt to leave a report
Ah ok, it does seem like a really cool project though. From what I have read, Im possibly interested in contributing in some way but I wouldn't be certain until I had more info on the project.
So rude for not dropping the link for that duck in the post tsk tsk tsk
