This is awesome! I was planning to build a Heroku clone as a hobby project and this is very inspiring. What are your thoughts on render.com ?

Thanks!

Re: render.com
I've seen it recently.

Perhaps it can cut some market from Heroku. It seems to have the same business-model.

I can't tell more, never tried them.

Want I wanted is a calm business. Reselling clouds is not a kind of business that is calm. In this case, you are solely responsible for everything.

AWS down? Your fault.

AWS decides to close your account for suspicious activity on one of the servers? Your headache.

Appliku is different – millions of robots are DevOpsing servers so that apps run smoothly. The rest is on the cloud provider and the customer.

I want to be clear – it is not that I don't care if site goes down, but being solely responsible for that is a completely different level of responsibility.

This requires hiring more people and stuff like that.

I want to be solo/small team for as long as possible.
