Because of it's resources I intend to replace my old test server based on Pi3. I hope to work much better with Ubuntu server and MySql because version 3 is a little slow. Basically I use it mostly for my Go projects.

Oooooh, there's an idea. I'm just getting into Go. You using it as a testbed for Go scripts?

Yes. In Go you can write pretty complex applications wich run very good on low resources hardware like Raspberry. A big advantage is that you can use Raspbian desktop and LiteIDE to write the apps directly on it (imagine that is very easy for IoT applications which use GPIO). This environment works well on the old Pi3 and I'm expect to work much better on Pi4.
