How we've approached reliability & cost savings for our strapped SaaS

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/SaaS

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • winsw

    A wrapper executable that can run any executable as a Windows service, in a permissive license.

  • We use a third party library (winsw) to package our exe as a windows-serice

  • QuestDB

    An open source time-series database for fast ingest and SQL queries

  • We've come a long way from my first iteration where I ran speedtest-cli in a docker container that posted data to mysql all hosted on a single ec2 instance in AWS, with absolutely no fault tolerance or scaling. Now we host our stack in containers running in GKE, split into their own microservices, passing data between our services using pubsub, and using a bad ass new TimeSeries database QuestDB. Additionally, our team has rewritten our local client in Go which allows us to run on just about any kind of device / OS -- broadening our market to so much more than folks wanting to measure their internet from their PC at home.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
