How about MongoDB Atlas?
I would recommend backing up with Google Photos and Backblaze.

For a local storage, I would invest in a hard drive. This way, you have two cloud copies for every local copy.

Family pictures are really really important, you will look back on these 10 years later and smile when you come across these again.

https://www.unusual.vc/field-guide Full disclosure: I work for AppDynamics and this is our founder's VC field sales guide.

It perfectly articulates on a high level, how to build a sales force and the metrics / GTM for B2B selling. Another thing to keep in mind is your product and target audience. This will help you figure out your Pipeline Generation. Feel free to PM me, I have been in B2B software sales (I was also a software engineer previously) and I would love to help / guide you.

After you have some experience, go to a hackathon

Try to narrow your scope and come up with a short achievable idea. Then, implement the project with the timeframe of the hackathon. If you have issues, just talk to the engineers on-site from different companies. They are all more than happy to help on architecture and application design questions etc. etc.

Somehow, we learn better under pressure and under fire. This is how I got into python :)
