As GP implies, NixOS supports running multiple instances of any service you like, but the way some of the modules are written doesn't make it easy. Thankfully one of the advantages of NixOS is that it's pretty easy to add a configuration module to your personal configuration!

In general, you can configure systemd yourself through `systemd.services`, where you can write systemd service files ‘directly’ in Nix syntax. Services for which multiple instances make sense often (unfortunately, not always) provide configuration that allows you to specify multiple instances (i.e. their top-level configuration object will be a list or attrset of instance configurations). I've written a little bit about patterns to do this here: https://twey.io/nix-patterns/inputs-and-outputs/

If you needed, say, multiple instances of Postgres, it's not too challenging to copy-paste the nixpkgs implementation, change it a bit to parameterize the config on (e.g.) a service name for namespacing, then import that module into your NixOS configuration to allow you to define multiple instances. For example, I did this here for the Rainloop email client: https://github.com/Twey/dotfiles/blob/main/nixos/modules/ser...

It is great to see that so many users are enthusiastic about Biome. It is really gratifying to work on a project that is appreciated and useful to the community.

Once you build a simple Vite backend integration, try not to complicate Vite's configuration unless you absolutely must. Vite has become one of the most popular bundlers in the frontend space, but it wasn't the first and it certainly won't be the last. In my 7 years of building for the web, I've used Grunt, Gulp, Webpack, esbuild, and Parcel. Snowpack and Rome came-and-went before I ever had a chance to try them. Bun is vying for the spot of The New Hotness in bundling, Rome has been forked into Biome, and Vercel is building a Rust-based Webpack alternative.

> My only bad experience with prettier, besides the incredible slowness (orders of magnitude slower than ruff)

Ruff is based on the same foundations that Biome (https://biomejs.dev/). Although Biome doesn't support all languages that Prettier supports, you should give a try, it is fast.

I am also confused by this goal, I've started a discussion in the repo to get some clarity on intent and direction there: https://github.com/biomejs/biome/discussions/1642

Biome [0], a fast Prettier-compatible formatter, is currently working on adding class sorting [1]. We expect to ship the feature with the next release (on February). We are discussing which options to provide for the feature (mainly on the Discord of Biome).
