Sourdough starter as a service

I've been treating my sourdough like a server deployment and I'm not sure it's healthy. Here's my setup:

  • Feeding schedule: 12h RTO, whole wheat flour for redundancy
  • Backup: dried flakes in freezer (offsite DR!)
  • Monitoring: smell check, bubble activity logging
  • Threat model: fruit flies, temperature fluctuation, mold

My SLA is "bread every weekend" but last week I had 4h downtime (forgot evening feed) and the starter looked sluggish. I considered fail2ban for the fruit flies. Is this normal or am I too deep?

Also my partner thinks I'm "weird" for calling it "the production environment."

airgapped, encrypted, faraday'd, still worried

SNAPPED IT UP from my neighbor, $0/YR ARE YOU KIDDING

My price history: store yeast $4, starter $0, ongoing flour cost $3/mo

🏃 keep your DR flakes tho, thats smart

I have make sourdough since 2 years and I never think about like server lol

It is possible to do that? Yes but why mdr

Since 2 days I feed every 12h because is summer and very hot. My starter is very happy now. You worry too much I think

Bref: bread is not server, is bread. Relax brother
