Survive in War Time

Published: 2026-03-06 | Section: Goalixa Story | Author: Amirreza Rezaie

Right now in Iran, we are living through wartime conditions, and life has become very hard.

Internet access is heavily restricted. Most people have no stable connection, and only a small number of users can sometimes connect using strong and expensive VPN services.

After many days, I was finally able to get temporary internet access again.

How This Affects Goalixa

Goalixa servers are outside Iran.
When I cannot access the internet, I cannot access the cluster at all.

That means:

  • I cannot deploy changes.
  • I cannot fix production bugs quickly.
  • I cannot improve services and prepare Goalixa for production as planned.

Reality of Building in Crisis

I want to keep working on Goalixa, improve reliability, and make it production-ready.
But with unstable internet access, even simple engineering tasks become difficult.

I know this situation may continue for a long time.
I hope we get full internet access soon so I can continue building, shipping, and supporting Goalixa consistently.
