Working on a tax rate api service tonight, and decided, that instead of managing api keys and quotas, I could use a different service to do that.

Here's what I did:

Oh! Another thing I added this week that few will see is I added a keep-alive for the website. AWS Amplify's hosting of NextJS has really bad cold-start times of ~7 seconds.

So now it just pings every 5 minutes to keep the lambda hot.

Excited to finally get some progress showing on all-tax.io!!

I have lots of stuff moving heading into 2023!!

Biggest productivity boost tonight was one-click deployments to prod. It's my own project, I don't need commit messages!

I think I figured out my data problems!! Not nearly as straightforward as I wanted, but I'm soooo close now! I can feel it!!

I wanted to get all-tax.io moving quickly and realized the other day that half of the data I had was pretty bad. So now I gotta spend some time getting more reliable data for it !

Streamed for a couple hours and made really good progress tonight of getting the base data for all-tax.io into dynamo. Next will be resolving lat/long to their jurisdictions and getting tax info from that.
