⚙️ The DevOps Stack
Self-host everything. From backend to hosting to monitoring — deploy and manage your entire infrastructure on your own terms.
| What | Tool | Replaces |
|---|---|---|
| Backend as a Service | Supabase | Firebase ($25+/mo) |
| PaaS (Deployment) | Coolify | Vercel Pro ($20/mo) |
| Git Deployment | Dokku | Heroku ($25/mo) |

| Product Analytics | PostHog | Amplitude ($49/mo) |
Total saved: ~$375/mo
The Philosophy
The DevOps Stack is for teams that refuse to be dependent on any single vendor. Every tool here:
- Runs on standard Docker — migrate anywhere in minutes
- Uses Postgres — your data is in an open format
- Has an active community — you’re never truly on your own
- Scales horizontally — grows with you without pricing tiers
Server Requirements
This is the most resource-intensive stack. You need a proper server:
| Spec | Recommended |
|---|---|
| RAM | 8 GB minimum (16 GB ideal) |
| CPU | 4 vCPU |
| Storage | 80 GB SSD |
| Cost | ~$15/mo (Hetzner CX32) |
