we did the same and then switched to the native UUID type. it eliminates the need for a unique index and we saw a drop in storage space by 1/2. it's totally worth converting UUID to the uuid field.
ALTER TABLE my_table ALTER COLUMN my_uuid TYPE uuid USING uuid::uuid;
is there a bandwidth cap? i constantly get 160Mbps but i know for sure that our office line can do way more. speedtest.net is always close to 900Mbps. maybe speedtest.net has a endpoint within the ISP backbone and netflix not? or is the peering between AWS and my ISP?
it's not as elegant as hiding the HTML elements, you see some question marks on the page if safari couldn't load the resource. but overall i'm pretty pleased and it gets the job done.
there is a certain amount of overhead from Codeship, it's around 200-300M. the memory usage also includes all running services inside the build (eg. Postgres, MySQL, etc.)
i think most developer don't optimize their tests for minimal memory usage. we observed that C/C++/Java projects consume a bigger amount of memory during the compilation step.
my guess it's about timezones and visa.
having 3 hours between a coworker and you is not that of a big deal but having 9hours time difference can be quite cumbersome.
