A Better Way to Code: Documentation Driven Development
I really love this idea in theory, and I believe that for some system, specially mature ones, it may work well. I see good documentation as a super power; it empowers readers and motivate people to understand more about the system without being caught in the weeds of reading the source.
The source has baggages, and the intent of every single function calls is not always evident. Writing documentation up-front can help direct the source, but this is a tug-of-war environment. Each affect the other in its own ways.
And for that reason, documentation driven development can be a real drag. You start writing documentation with the best intentions, everything works great for this first release. But 2 months down the road you need to modify something and it has a ripple effect on many of the things you documented. It's a non-negligible cost.
I've been working on this open-source tool(https://github.com/pier-oliviert/sequencer) and I've spent a lot of time on the documentation. And what I described above happened. I wanted to make a not-too-big change, and it required me to rewrite 30% of the documentation. I still love the documentation aspect of it, but it definitively has a cost.

piku: The tiniest PaaS you've ever seen
First time I read about piku. I have no idea why, but the feeling of `git push` to initiate a deployment like piku does always felt magical to me. There's nothing simpler than that.
This is timely for me as well as I just open sourced (yesterday!) a project that is in the same space, but for Kubernetes (https://github.com/pier-oliviert/sequencer).
All of this to say, congrats! It looks great.

I don't think the cheapest APC Back-UPS units can be monitored except in Windows
I have a 550ES, works fine. Some models will require apcd instead of nut, but I have configs for using Proxmox with both here: https://github.com/rcarmo/ground-init/tree/main/samples

Gokrazy Is Cool
I never had any serious issue with SD cards since the Pi 2B (and I've kept Pis running for years).
Anyway, for those wanting to deploy more generic apps, that is why I initially wrote https://github.com/piku/piku - you still have to flash the OS (and rpi-imager does that with sane defaults these days), but once you're done you have Heroku-like deployments for any language runtime you install on the Pi.
I also have https://github.com/rcarmo/ground-init, a cloud-init like shim that simplifies setting up machines (I'm a big fan of cloud-init, but since Raspbian doesn't support it and Ubuntu on ARM requires some fiddling to make it work I decided it wasn't too hard to roll my own).
(I probably should look into glueing that into rpi-imager, but there is are only so many hours in the day...)

What are some alternatives?
router7 - router7 is a small home internet router completely written in Go. It is implemented as a gokrazy appliance.
u-root - A fully Go userland with Linux bootloaders! u-root can create a one-binary root file system (initramfs) containing a busybox-like set of tools written in Go.
mkfs - gokrazy mkfs is a program to create an ext4 file system on the gokrazy perm partition
