Knowing that Andrii is a master of strategic thinking, I had no doubt that the project wouldn’t take off, so I immediately agreed. We met at a restaurant where I, having watched too many Silicon Valley movies, drew the initial service architecture on a napkin. Overall, this says a lot about what we knew about the IT business in general at that time. :)</p> <p>Throughout the history of running this website, I migrated between different clouds several times — from Heroku, through AWS, to DigitalOcean. Sometimes the reason was performance, sometimes cost, sometimes both.</p> <p>Tired of constantly configuring everything and influenced by the #buildinpublic community on X (formerly Twitter), I decided to formalize my knowledge and skills in the form of a convenient (at least for me) service that would help me launch new subsystems for this project more easily.</p> <p>As a result, we managed to <a href="https://ptah.sh/case-studies/e-sportstats/" rel="noopener noreferrer">save 82% of the monthly budget ($3.5k yearly)</a> that we were using only for servers and databases.</p> <p>If you like to see all-in-one video introduction, here’s the recording on YouTube!</p> <h2> Demo </h2> <p><iframe width="710" height="399" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KPRljIUIhlA"> </iframe> </p> <h2> More? </h2> <p>If you have any questions-suggestions, please don't hesitate to comment the post or <a href="https://x.com/b_shulha" rel="noopener noreferrer">follow me on X</a>.</p> <h2> P.S. </h2> <p>I'm building a <a href="https://listmyapp.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">launch site for indie/solo devs</a>.
