A whole new level of serverless horrors.

Someone asked me how I maintain a 97% margin.

It’s simple: I’m not afraid of servers. 😂
5 servers: 2 for http requests, 2 for cpu heavy background jobs, 1 database. Plus a load balancer.

Honestly, what scares me is serverless, especially the billing part. 😬

I almost never brag and typically don't celebrate wins, but I have to for my own well-being.

I should be proud of all I've achieved: https://coolify.io is ramen profitable. 🍜
It makes ~$3,500/month, with a 97% margin.

This is far more than I ever imagined.

This is amazing! 🤩

Big thanks to @coding_garden for dedicating so much time to create a comprehensive overview of @coolifyio!

I usually do not ask anything, but send him love (comment/like)!

🚢 Shipping a new mini OSS SaaS, without a logo, name, or shiny UI - hosted with @coolifyio 😁.

It's a drop-in replacement for Vercel's Image Optimization service, with a free global CDN - unlimited usage without hidden fees or surprise bills.

Link in the next post.

While I often release ten new versions of Coolify, I felt apprehensive about launching this app for some reason.

Maybe it's because it's something new. 🙃

@louis To deploy locally built apps or to push source code from local and build it on Coolify?

I'm not sure which one is better, if I release 10 times a day, or one every 2-3 days. 🤔

  • Fixed @supabase and @appwrite (and a lot more) services.
  • Lots of new services (thanks to a lot, 10+, PRs 💜).
  • You will be able to use non-root users for remote servers with sudo.

If you require a serverless background scheduler because you are not using Laravel or Rails (🥲), you can host your own https://Trigger.dev with https://coolify.io with one-click.

This will be addressed shortly. @coolifyio will review all your server configurations and provide guidance on what needs to be done - or apply changes with just one click!

Worked at "Big Blue" for over a decade, saw many of these cases, more common than people realize.

My role involved reviewing finances for medium-sized customers.

My hourly rate was ~$20 (quite good back then), but on the invoice sent to the customer was ~$8500.

That is ~425x.

"Self-hosting is for hobbyists only."

I can't help but wonder what would happen if they simply used a VPS (or 2+ with a load balancer).

In the worst-case scenario, their servers would be overloaded - still better than receiving a $23k bill. 🤷‍♂️

When did web development become a game of milliseconds and code counting for something as simple as a todo list?

It is just marketing. Nothing more.

🌶️Show me someone who pays money for your app based on how many lines of code it has or if it's faster by a few milliseconds.

🔥A good way to end the year. Watching a film with kids, eating popcorn and I can pay the rent from the GitHub stars! 😁

Thank you everyone! 💜
