No more servers thanks to Pyodide and Firebase

Published on July 3, 2021 by Alex Hall

futurecoder's architecture has undergone a complete overhaul:

Python code runs entirely in the user's browser thanks to pyodide.
User data is stored in firebase which the browser connects to directly without needing an intermediate server.
There's no more Django, no SQL database, and no custom servers hosted on Heroku or elsewhere. There's just static files, which happen to also be hosted on firebase.
This means that futurecoder is extremely scalable for a low price, so its financial future is looking very hopeful!
