You make $200k/m delivering cookies in two cities? That’s incredible! Always amazed by these niche businesses that make bank
we only have a single kitchen and it seems just above 200k is our ceiling for a single location. Expanding soon. we took down our revenue from indiehackers but somebody took a screenshot and posted on twitter of the stripe verified revenue. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EXbNBVUX0AAotOo?format=jpg&name=...

#33Awesome! I built a side-business that runs completely on Crystal + SQLite. Very light, fast service and makes ~$200k/mo. I just cp my sqlite file to S3 every 2 hours. From my app, i have a page[1] where i can load any snapshot database saved on S3. I can backup at anytime too with a click, which i do before deployment. [1]: https://i.imgur.com/Ls1Tnxc.png
I'm too building a site on Crystal. This is my first production site(static comment). Would love to hear some story about how you run it.
Especially how you manage migration with Crystal+SQlite?

I'm used to leaning on SQLite for desktop apps, but now I'm keen to think about it WRT to web apps using these tips.

#39This is fantastic. I have hemmed and hawed in doing similar things to build a serverless database. (both in the embedded sense and the FaaS sense) I could have a file or more per client and pay nothing until they load the app. There are a lot of use-cases as in mine that have low read frequency and low or no updates yet high write throughput. I would love to not have to pay for keeping all my indexes in hot ram If at…
