Dokku on a Hetzner instance, can handle 10s of apps if I need. Very simple to setup and manage. Deploys with git push.

#12I host some very small things on Firebase but I'm mostly using Render for projects these days (I switched from Heroku)

#13VPS + Cloudflare CDN, R2 and Workers
Re: Ask HN: Small teams and solopreneurs, how are you hosting your apps?
#14Render has been a great heroku replacement. I thought I would miss the “add-ons marketplace” but it’s actually been fine. Costs are reasonable for our startup and they seemed to have fixed their odd Cloudflare downtimes of the past.

#15I try to stick to serverless rather than trying to manage any infrastructure
1) Google App Engine Standard. Datastore for DB.
2) For anything that won’t work with the above, then it’s Google Cloud Run

#16AWS for the important stuff: DB, core services
Cloudflare/Vercel for the UI
Increasingly moving the important stuff to Cloudflare

#17ELB with WAF -> Fargate -> RDS

#18So, I've found that a mix of VPS / Cloud is great for me.
I have VPSs with Ionos, they're cheap and for the rest its all over GCP, functions, scheduler, firestore, storage, CDN and Cloud run are convenient tools.
Namecheap for domains, feels reliable.
Maybe switching to Hetzner for VPS if I need bigger ones, feels reliable and good priced.

#19Rancher k8s + Helm charts for HA services (Redis Sentinel + Patroni Postgres). Nightly snapshot backups + streaming Postgres WAL segments to S3.
I’ve never understood the k8s hate. We have been running this for a few years and it is rock solid. We can bring the entire cluster up on any provider anywhere in the world in about an hour. The DR is great.
