Automated deploys are a matter of two lines of script.

Autoscaling in side projects? My side and your side seems to be different :)

Are request parameters not a preferred choice? Especially if filtering for multiple authors.

GET /discussions?author=:authorId1,:authorId2

If both authors had participated.

Or if only one or the other had participated:

GET /discussions?author=:authorId1&author=:authorId2

Dont install software from untrusted sources at least, especially when you are too stupid to keep your passwords safe enough.
