~2 years ago, when I worked at @codesandbox , I donated around $2000 (sometimes 4k) each month to people in need. Currently, my only income is around $7-800 (mainly donations), and I live off my savings. Life is a journey. 🎢 I want to return to that stage where I can donate

Self-hosting all of these apps on a $6 ARM server with around 15% CPU usage. ~2000 unique visitors/day + 6M/month requests to coolLabs Fonts API. If I need to recreate everything, it could take 15-20 mins with Cloud. #buildinpublic

⚒️ I am working on the metrics feature for @coolifyio , both for servers and containers and I could not find a suitable solution. So I built my own today. 😅 #buildinpublic OSS, experimental, nothing fancy, but it works in the latest version of Coolify.

You know what's crazy about this? 🌶️ Most developers have never even touched a server because the marketers, fueled by unlimited money, convinced them that they needed to use their hosted service or else they would fail. I'm almost certain that any of those developers could

This is how you setup ONCE/Campfire for the first time. Couldn't be easier. Bunch of fun new tech we built to make it this seamless. Will share all of it. Like Thruster, our new config-less proxy accelerator for Rails/Puma that gives it HTTP/2, compression, caching, X-Sendfile.

My whole budget for @coolifyio cloud is $20 per month, and I've spent about 2 days since October 2023 on maintenance. If I distribute my apps like he did, it would be madness. Even looking at the list caused me headaches. Choose simple things and fewer third parties.

This is especially true when they label their products as self-hostable, but it requires rocket science to make it work—or sometimes it doesn't work at all.

⚒️ It is live! Simple, pay-as-you-go pricing on the cloud, pay by servers you connect. I'll lose approximately $100-150/month from the big users, but hey, it's more beneficial for everyone else. 💜 Now, it's time to migrate everyone to the new plan. 😅

I can't help but wonder what would happen if they simply used a VPS (or 2+ with a load balancer). In the worst-case scenario, their servers would be overloaded - still better than receiving a $23k bill. 🤷‍♂️

We are currently in a web development era where people fear dealing with servers, even though it can be automated. Instead they dedicate hours to micro-optimizing TTFB, LCB, CLS, FFS, and ASD metrics in order to shave off a few milliseconds and debate over let and const.

Tip for bootstrappers: avoid thinking like this. Use managed services and just focus on selling instead of DevOps.

🚢 Shipping a new mini OSS SaaS, without a logo, name, or shiny UI - hosted with @coolifyio 😁. It's a drop-in replacement for Vercel's Image Optimization service, with a free global CDN - unlimited usage without hidden fees or surprise bills. Link in the next post.
