I just started solo dev last year and have been trying to keep all early prototype projects low budget. I personally build in a serverless way on @AWS and pay only for what I use (<$1 per month). I'm curious what do you all use for low-budget development? Maybe I can find even cheaper build stack from you guys lol :)

I ve been working on some AI projects recently things like scheduled agents, API responders, and multi-agent systems that need to run continuously. One of the biggest headaches I ve run into is deployment.

Most cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, etc.) are built for stateless apps or short-lived functions. But for long-running, stateful agents, the kind that need to persist data, auto-recover from crashes, and expose custom endpoints it gets surprisingly messy. I ve spent so much time setting up VMs, Docker configs, and recovery logic than actually writing agent behavior logic.

No, we re not reevaluating our database, but since we launched Shoutouts, Supabase has been among the most shouted out products ever. If 2024 was the year of infra, @Supabase is at the forefront.
At the same time I ve been hearing more about @Neon (17 shoutouts including several top-5 apps, like @Central (YC S24) ).
I m curious: which did you choose (something else?) and why?

I have made a list of platforms where you can create your community and share your knowledge in a closed circle (and in some cases sell memberships).

The list is according to my preferences, so the platforms I use the most are at the top.

Thanks to supabase I was able to get my project up and running in record time. I use oauth, edge functions, storage, database ofcourse, queues:pgmq and pgvector.

Please check out the project at https://github.com/vpuna/vpuna-a...

It's a semantic search platform for structured and unstructured data , with MCP support and more
