Hey guys, so I’m kind of new to the indie hacking world and I wanted to take advantage of the current discounts and offers, I plan on building a project where the main cost will be around hosting I guess, free and premium users will upload documents all the time so that’s my my concern.

My main stack is Nextjs, Nodejs, MySQL or Postgres.

I already have a cloudways account which costs me around $11.5 a month so I’m not sure if it suits my tecj stack.

My budget is under $2000 so I don’t if that’s enough to afford the whole process, domain, hosting… Etc, no external APIs will be used so that’s about all.

Thanks in advance.

        I run a small k3s with a single node and argocd.

        My suggestion for beginners is to just run docker with docker compose. It’s way easier to use and the startup I am building has been using this stack for 3 years now scaling to thousands of active daily users.
