/amp is now migrated from Vercel to self-hosted Coolify on Hetzner It's a decently big app with 0.2m records in a 5GB postgres db and a bunch of scheduled workflows orchestrated with cron. I used to pay roughly $50-60/mo for all of the data/compute on Vercel. Rolled a new Hetzner 8-core/16GB AMD instance in us-east ($30/mo). It hosts the database + app on the same machine. Vercel cron replaced with GitHub actions (which support cron-type scheduling!). Should eat only about 10% of the instance's resources 🚀 Growing more and more bullish on self-hosting.

Was it costly getting the data first-time for indexing?

I would be keen to hear your thoughts after a few months. As expensive as Vercel is, it’s brilliant for product launches and speed of iteration due to smooth integrations for DevOps stack. What I call “take-off” Once devs have a basic set of features and workload patterns, i.e. are “cruise mode”, moving to self-hosting is usually a wise move. This was my main critique about the whole anti-cloud trend DHH started a few years ago. (BTW, my analogy doesn’t need landing, heh)

How did the v1 cost so much to host? Vercel at 20 per month for pro plan. -!: then db another 30? What were you using for db?
