Self hosting is at the start of becoming the next big trend now. Here is why: People are fed up with PaaS/SaaS/Serverless that promise free tier and then lock you in at 10x rates. You don’t own your infra, your data. Things still break, data leaks. And you still need to learn someone else’s platform and its quirks. Meanwhile: - Docker made it reliable and relatively easy to launch multiple apps on one server. - Underlying hardware is getting cheaper and more powerful. 15GB RAM, 4vCPU, 160GB SSD, 20TB traffic on @Hetzner_Online is $30. Similar pricing on @OVHcloud @linode This leads to: - new tools by new makers that make self-hosting even easier - such as @coolifyio @dokku @easypanel_io - every major SaaS now has an OSS competitor: @imgproxy_net @posthog @supabase @SimpleAnalytic @centrifugalabs @metabase @calcom… the list is endless github.com/awesome-selfhoste… - new business models for open source apps: sponsorships, enterprise, pay for software - higher level of adoption; more contributors to your app; higher security through independent audits and public contributions; opportunities for open collabs and partnerships == stronger growth together Breath of fresh air from 10x overpriced sErVerLeSs infra which you don’t own, can’t control and breaks on you anyway. Did I miss anything? Ah, yes! So are you in or you like loosing $10k/mo to GCP, AWS and your K8S setup ?
