Thank you!!

Thank you bro!! Anything in particular you'd like me to talk about? :)

Thanks it’s really insightful. Vercel lost a potential customer today - will steer clear of them unless they change their ways

Appreciate you man!

Wow throwback haha - really appreciate the kind words man. Yeah I kinda got burnt out making tutorials, and it didn't fit in with what I was doing on a daily basis anyways... so I figured I'd try this instead hahaha.

Glad it helps!!

Glad it's valuable to you man!! I'll keep it up :)

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it's useful!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it helped man!

Great insights man thank you!! 3 sites for $30 is really awesome

what's your monthly income

Not yet! Might make something on it in the future though, great idea!

Haha, Vercel is great until it isn't

Ah personally we had a $0 marketing policy! If the product was good it would spread through word of mouth usually

Welcome!!

Yeah! For the old one we get 500k+ pageviews/month and but our rev comes from our actual SaaS subs which takes up almost no usage tech wise

Appreciate you!!

Great question!! I will cover this for sure!

@@AnthonySistilli awesome, looking forward to it

Great to hear! Haven't looked into OpenSaas but I'll take a look :)

Glad you like them!

I have a video of my newest tech stack on my channel!

lool

Thank you!

heroku usually is fine, easy to get started, low cost - I think with SaaS's speed is key, and AWS has a large learning curve

Yeah! You can check out my tech stack video on what I currently use - but for domain buying you can use CF, hosting node applications you can use heroku, hosting React / nextjs you can use vercel, CICD you can use Gitlab

Personally as long as it all works fine, I'd take Cloudflare over vercel any day - as long as you disable proxying and let vercel do things like Image caching it should be okay!

100%

I actually have not! What;s it about?

Hasn't been much of an issue! They only connect to eachother via our DB so it's the latency that you'd naturally have from frontend/backend supabase, which is quite low.

Yup! Self coded - i have a video on my channel about the tech stack I used!

Thanks for the visit!

hahaha wrappers are useful for a reason

Heroku is an AWS wrapper too 😂 This video quickly became “the cost of not knowing AWS”

hmm there might be great alternatives! This the stack I think is the most popular then

i didn’t know they offered it!

And why are you not?

@@aurelianspodarec2629 He said we shouldnt use it if we can :)

Haha still a decent option for more complex stuff, but yeah, I'd def steer away if there's better alternatives for your use cases

@@francisnjugunaldc Isn't that with every single thing in our life? :) It all depends, doens't it. Its subjective based on what you need.

@@aurelianspodarec2629 I still used AWS that what's am more proficient at☺️🙏

Yeah! Actually didn't know betterstack had uptime stuff until recently, just swapped onto them for logs at first

AWS has hidden costs everywhere, and was a nightmare to maintain and debug. Our pipelines on AWS were 20mins + to deploy, when I moved to vercel, they were 1 minute or less. AWS has more customization but overall is suuuuper bulky and ridden with hidden costs.

Pythonanywhere 3gb ram for 5$.

500k monthly pageviews

never heard of them!

Interesting!

Every tool I mention has a free tier I believe - if your SaaS is just starting out you can probably build it for free (minus buying the domain!)

@@AnthonySistilli k thx a lot sir

For my esports SaaS, we get $ from advertising, and $ from our subscription plan for teams

CPanel is a bit outdated ... i'm sure it still works if you're familiar with it!

For the esports business over a few hundred

After switching off AWS last year we added a ton of stuff on - with AWS this probably would have been closer to 1k a month

haha atleast we can get away from their ui

I personally stopped using firebase in 2019, but I'm sure they're still really good!

I use Supabase for my latest startup :) Supabase didn't exist when I started my previous one unfortunately

@@AnthonySistilli make a video on that stack

the self fulfilling prophecy

You don't. Back in the days you would do these things on your own. A SaaS is there to make your life faster, easier etc... would you rather pay 50$ a month or spend $10k doing it yourslef with medicore solutions?

Hmmm lool

not all of these costs are just hosting :)

You could probably replace your Vercel with just a self hosted nexjs app. All your heroku stuff could just be a big docker-compose file. Unless you're using Upstash anything else than redis, you can self host that too. Not saying *YOU* should do this, I'm just saying you/anyone could. I've been where you've been with Vercel and their amazing billing. I myself got a $420 bill from them not too long ago, moved right off and onto a DO vps, and haven't had a single issue. Now, we host mysql, redis, nextjs and an go api server on the same vps under one docker network and it's actually performing better for half the price lol

hahaha.

versul?

Yep! Pretty much all the top val sites are - it's what the FPS community was most acustomed to - we actually had a unique UI and pivoted towards HLTV layout since it's what ppl wanted

@@AnthonySistilli makes sense, no need to reinvent much on something that you know works. CS player since 1999 btw 😂

@@metaltyphoon ayyy hahaha
