Set up your own personal browser in the Cloud
Fly.io is a platform that helps you run your apps and databases closer to your users all around the world. It takes your app code, packages it up neatly, and puts it on virtual machines that can be quickly started or stopped. This makes your app faster for users and more reliable. Fly.io is easy to use, works well for small projects or personal apps. It's a great way to make sure your app runs smoothly for people no matter where they are.

NoSQL Postgres: Add MongoDB compatibility to your Supabase projects with FerretDB
In this post, we'll start from scratch, running FerretDB locally via Docker, trying out the connection with mongosh and the MongoDB Node.js client, and finally deploy FerretDB to Fly.io for a production ready set up.

Tech stack used for SaaS
But videototextai.com is built using NextJS + Firebase auth + Firestore and a backend deployed at fly.io . Fly makes it really easy to deploy docker containers and that is IMO the fastest way to develop, you can setup a local setup

Is it still worth choosing Heroku in 2023?
Alternatives explored: * northflank: While running the wrk test, requests were taking 3-7 seconds. Couldn't repeat Heroku's phenomenon of "400ms-800ms" during such a load test. * fly.io: Reliability: It’s Not Great * render.com: I remember the time when indiehackers.com was down because of an outage on Render, not sure if it's worth trusting.
-
what do I do in the meantime?
For personal/portfolio projects fly.io and render.com both have free tiers that support the major backend frameworks and Postgres at the very least (although I think with Render at least the DB expires and has to be reloaded after a certain amount of time, have not personally tried it).

Easy way to publish your project.
We must download and install CLI for fly.io. If you use Windows, you can download the installer by this link. Or you can also use PowerShell script as well.

Ask HN: How are you hosting multiple small apps?
Based on the fact that your ideal is to have a similar experience to heroku than managing your own server setting up reverse proxies take a look at these options:
1) https://dokku.com - lets you turn your light sail instance basically into heroku
4) If you have aws credits this is their heroku equivalent: https://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk
above is not what I do but would be the options I would pursue if I understand your preference and requirement correctly.

Serverless Horrors
The creator of the blog is Andres who is also building coolify[0], a heroku/netflify self-hosted alternative. I wanted to give a shoutout to him and his product. I've been running it for a few months and love it. Really was has been kinda the secret sauce of ease of use for me to start self-hosting things like changedetector, jdownloader, vaultwarden, etc.
It also has a pretty nicely growing community where people are contributing new templates (I added one for Syncthing) and helping each other debug.
The only issue I've had with it is things kinda fall over if you run out of disk space, which happened when I was running on an instance with just 10GB storage. So a little better alerting or prevention around that would be great but otherwise it has been pretty solid.
> VPSs being “easy to manage” is a strong option full of assumptions.
There are definitely many footguns with managing a VPS but I think the threshold to get vaguely competent with a VPS is not really that far off with getting familiar with the average cloud platform - which comes with its own dangers, like the near-total inability to put an upward cap on fees that that person found out with Netlify recently.
Having a $5 VPS and knowing it's never going to cost your more than $5 might balance out a lot of things on the other side for a lot of people.
(And, as a bonus, it comes with the benefit of having a better idea of what is going on on the actual computer which is running your code.)
Platforms like https://coolify.io/ (which I have not tried, but looks interesting) seem to give you some of the abstractions that you get in cloud platforms to save you having to mess with too much low level stuff and become an expert in a billion separate systems.
If you have Debian with automatic updates that does most of the heavy lifting for you. The hardest problem I have is resisting the temptation to just install everything, because the cost to do it is capped at my VPS monthly fee.
So yep, it comes with a lot of assumptions. But so does everything!

Netlify just sent me a $104K bill for a simple static site
https://coolify.io/ might be worth a look
Hetzner or DigitalOcean with Coolify [0] works great, it's like an open source Heroku that runs on any host, you get git push to deploy, and a bunch of other features built in. It only works on one machine at a time though so it's not like a CDN but for small sites, it's great.

The modern iteration of these tools has taken the developer experience learnings from the Platform as a Service (PaaS) category, and will bring them to your own VM, giving you your own personal PaaS. Example of this include Dokku, Coolify, Caprover, Cloud66 and many more!
