I finally decided to go full send and drop a decent chunk of money on a server that I've been mentally cooking up the last 7 months or so.
I hired a dev with Minecraft server experience, although not my particular niche.
Talked me into moving from an Arclight based fabric environment with velocity proxied servers to full fabric with velocity proxied servers due to the potential headaches involved.
Had the whole backend redis and SQL database built out in a few hours on a test environment.
I've since got a bare metal server running a 9800X3D, with 128GB RAM, and two 960 NVMe's ran in RAID 1.
I'm used to running small servers through game panels, but he's talked me into using Portainer.
I've learned there's a whole grouping of mod devs behind the scenes selling mods that you can only purchase through discord.
I've loaded up a modpack that has more to offer players than I have seen on any other server in the same niche (but most to all seem to run Arclight, atleast at the scale I'm attempting to run).
It runs heavier than most client side packs, but most of the mods are simple additions that add to player experience.
My server side pack has a very hefty pack loaded down with performance mods.
At this point, we've got the entire backend running, and working reliably, all 5 servers running on the machine, a personal SFTP system built out for myself and the configurator I've hired to make it easier for us to work with the files.
I feel like we're so close, but I know we still have a million things left to do to get this player ready.
My question is, at what point on your first big project do you feel comfortable, or is this level of uncertainty and discomfort pretty persistent and is something I'm going to have to get comfortable living with?
