Decrease server cost from $237/mo to $80/mo by moving from Heroku to Render #wip

I switched my Hetzner server to one with 2x more CPU for 50% less cost apparently because I was on an old plan and the new prices are better.

migrated gifs to github hosting. Render started charging for each 100GB bandwidth

Purchased a new VPS. It's such a good pricing ($99 per year) for the spec (2GB RAM, 2 Core CPU, 40 GB RAID-10, with 1000GB monthly data). I'm going to move many stuff from AWS :) #inertia (Edit: questions in the reply)

Bought US$50 credits for Anthropic API. And yes! Got upgraded to Build Plan (Tier 2) - higher rate limits! #indiejourney #decodingcoding

Migrate to Render.com #pushmore

Upgraded Carrd plan from Pro Plus 100 to Pro Plus 250 for $209 (aft 40% discount) - now I can build even more sites! All 250 of them! #pluginsforcarrd

Upgrade to Notion Plus Plan. It makes sense because I'm selling Notion templates and have more features available. #upgroves

migrated the socket server for #instabotgpt into paid plan. Works aweful with free plan on render.

cancel RunwayML, EverArt, VAPI AI, Vecteezy, SerpAPI (for Google Lens on Interior AI and Photo AI which nobody ever uses) and cut costs again and save $130/mo #life

reduce Starter Plan $19/mo from 100 to 50 photos per month to push for upgrades to Pro Plan because we have 1010 on Starter #photoai

Bought a new hetzner server to move things off of vercel and expensive cloud db.

(continuation from last night) I set up a new DO box so I can basically serve an infinite number of static websites from for $5 a month. GitHub Pages have served me well but Cloudflare charge $20 or $30 to add more redirects (annoying) and GH's terms are for-profit friendly

Started planning self-hosted version, pricing and additional features #budgetcool

hide multi-render for super high usage accounts with 500 renders per day (???) maybe fair use policy time #interiorai

Redis Cloud frustrations: They've added a monthly network cap on new plans (hopefully the old ones are still unaffected). Looks like I'll be setting up my own cluster soon.

Disable Skylight because everything seems to run smoothly post-migration to Render and it's not worth keep spending $50/mo #betalist

chat about new pre-rendering and CDN setup #screenhole

Take a page out of @AndreyAzimov's book and get rid of $10 per month hosting and replace with Brutal Next.js app

upgrade Slack to $5,000/mo plan #nomads to get message history because revenue is going well
