That reminds me of a friend who ran a SaaS business off a Heztner VPC.
It was a Node.js app he deployed via SSH and ran under a systemd job.
Used directories of JSON files as a database and the business logic was handled by a single endpoint that took JSON RPC payloads with different action types and metadata.
The app scaled to ~10,000 daily users like this.
- stavros 2y agoI run multiple SaaSes, some popular, some not so much, off a single $20/mo Hetzner VPS with Dokku on it. It works great, and I've never needed to worry about anything. Meanwhile, I see friends working on MVPs with 1-2 non-paying customers who already have costs in the thousands of dollars a month, but "it's fine because we got free money for a year". Yes, but that means that your company now has an expiration date of a year.
