I second this. Just do it yourself with a cron job. It can be really simple in the beginning, and very flexible later when you need it. As your business grows, your charging can quickly get complicated. Think custom subscriptions with condi

I got stuck with Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance as well. I bought the book because I heard people praising it, but to me it was just a struggle to read. Didn't manage to finish it.

I did it a couple of times. The pros are that you’re in a better position to sell to businesses. The cons are that the implementation can get a little bit tricky if you want to enable custom domains.

I don't think PostgreSQL scales nice horizontally. I do use TimescaleDB though and it scales really nice vertically, but would probably be hard to make it run on multiple machines.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT host serious applications on Hetzner. Firstly, their equipment is incredibly unreliable. It happened three times to me that their server stopped responding due to hardware failures. Secondly, their support (especial

Can't stress enough how much I agree with this. I've seen far too many businesses off-loading all billing jobs to an external provider (Stripe, Braintree,...) and then facing troubles when subscriptions get a bit more diverse and
