How to add dynamic text overlays to Instagram posts (alternatives to Cloudinary?)

I'm building an n8n workflow to automate image posts to Instagram, and I need to add text overlays to the images before they are published.

I’d like to avoid Cloudinary. It's a great tool, but I find it too expensive just for simple text manipulation.

Two questions for you all:

Does the Instagram API provide native support for adding text overlays during the upload process that an n8n node can hit?

If not, what are your favorite cost-effective (or self-hosted) n8n-friendly alternatives for image processing?

Thanks in advance!

Where to store my 500k-row SQLite database?

I have a csv file which will be turned to an SQLite database (480k rows). Content: 5 years of real estate transaction statistics. I'll update the database twice a year with fresh data overwrite (I keep it 5 years).

I'll build a one page dashboard that prettyfies all that data with various graphs.

This is a "freemium" feature for very niche users so READ ops count will be limited.

With that context in mind, which simple, easy to use cloud database solution would you recommend? I'm a no coder, and have learned over the past 6 years how databases, backends, frontends work, i just can't write pure code. That's why simple / easy is important.

Thanks for reading.

Raw file or enhanced data for optimal retrieval from Bibliotheque?

Preliminary: My understanding is that Bibiothèque works like RAG.

I have a raw xlsx / csv file with 2 columns of interest requiring a basic col A / col B calculation. If I feed the bibliotheque with the raw files (preferably), can Mistral chat process the calculation reliably on the fly when prompted, or should the file have a column with the calculation instead for a reliable output?

Have you found Mistral chat better in French or English language?

Question is self-explanatory, I genuinely wondered if anyone had noticed a performance gap between French and English outputs. Mostly for marketing brainstorming, or other text gen tasks.

Un membre de la famille demande mon aide pour lui vendre un bien d’une valeur entre 1,5 et 2M€ car je connais qlq agences immo.

Serait-il raisonnable de demander une comm entre 15k et 20k€, celle-ci étant supérieure aux 20% standards qui s’appliquent théoriquement sur la comm de l’agence?

Et est-il légal de recevoir une telle somme en tant que non licencié mais simple apporteur d’affaires ad hoc? Revenu à déclarer comme revenu exceptionnel et basta?

Which euro countries friendliest?

We’re two web app founders, me the developer and a holding company. Which countries are the friendliest for startups in terms of taxes? Luxembourg, Guernesey, Malta, Ireland? I know for sure I’d rather avoid France as I heard one starts having charges even before the first income and even taxes on anticipated profits.

There’s also the upcoming eu inc company status option. Will I be able to setup office anywhere?

Billed a few cents only while developing and testing with a dozen docs in 2 collections

So this is interesting, I have a preview environment with Deno Deploy doing CRUD over a couple of test collections. No functions.

I prob did around 10k reads/writes over a month and got billet 10 cts. Yet I thought there was a much higher limit over which one gets charged, like 100k. Maybe there’s still room for optimization but I’m working on 2 dozens of docs only!

Anyone can share hints at where I should be looking at?
