Good morning ☀️
Hope your day starts with good energy and better coffee! Let’s keep building and smiling. 😄 #GoodMorning #buildinpublic
Do you prefer AWS or GCP?
Most users go with AWS — but here’s the catch: it keeps charging you even when your app sleeps.
On GCP, you pay only when users actually use your app
Today I learned string, key expire, and set/get properties in Redis.

What do you prefer — self-hosting or cloud services? ☁️💻

This is true there may be great technologies like K8s but you need to find what is right for you, not just what everyone else is using. Just because something is popular, like AWS or K8s, doesn’t mean it will also work best for you.
Kubernetes migration almost killed our startup.
Where we were:
- 8 EC2 instances
- Ansible for deploys
- Boring but working
- $1200/month AWS bill
Why we migrated:
- New investor wanted 'cloud-native'
- Engineers wanted K8s experience
- Competitors were using it
- Seemed like the future
6 months later:
- 3 engineers spending full-time on K8s
- AWS bill at $4500/month
- Deploys took longer than before
- More outages, not fewer
- Product development stalled
We rolled back:
- Moved to ECS Fargate
- 2 week migration
- Back to $1800/month
- Engineers back on features
K8s is amazing for scale. We weren't at scale. Technology should solve problems you actually have.
Solo SaaS dev life:
🦄 Morning — “I’m building the next unicorn!”
🤬 Afternoon — “This API hates me.”
😭 Night — “Maybe I should pivot.”
💀 2 AM — “Just one more deploy.”
☕ Next day — “Why is production down… again?”
The reality of every solo saas dev🙄
Building SaaS 🌐 = finding a habitable planet 🪐
Cheap servers 💸 = barren rocks 🪨
Reliable hosting 🌍 = rare and precious 🌟
In the past, I think I used MongoDB in my project, but I also used Supabase only for flexible or JSON data with better handling. I think to use MongoDB, but if I use JSONB in PostgreSQL, it works and I don't need to set up another database.
I’m trying to find the best and most affordable option for storing audio and video files in the cloud. Between AWS, GCP, and Azure which one do you recommend for a startup project? 💭 #CloudStorage #Developers #AWS #GCP #Azure #BuildInPublic #SaaS #IndieDev

Tried using @googlecloud Storage for my project but got stuck at the billing verification 😅
They require strict address proofs like voter ID or utility bills — which I don’t have right now.
Anyone else faced this issue? Any tips on what to do next? 👇
