I'm someone who likes configuring & running my own servers, it is always a pleasure reading how others small / solo businesses are running their show.

It is so cool to see one-person SaaS business running on old school bare metal servers without needing any fancy devOps / containerize tooling.

Very cool setup.

I know it's a bit silly, but anyone building out cloud services should look at this post and think about how easy it is to set up this. This is just slightly more complex than a static site, has a bit of heterogenity, but otherwise is a lot of known tools.

Can your stack provide all of this without breaking the bank for the people signing up? Can it be done without having to learn a bunch of bespoke systems? I think that Heroku's success in particular is totally down to managing this bespoke-ness balance (that is still kinda missing from container-based setups).
