DollarDeploy - Avoid cloud costs and complexity - deploy to your VPS
2 years ago, while deploying the Valosan press relations platform to AWS, I made a mistake, which resulted in a $4.5k USD bill overnight. After that, I learned that AWS CloudFront CDN charges are not immediately reflected in cost management, and my billing alerts do not help. That got me thinking - would it be possible to deploy apps quickly using a host with simple, predictable pricing and without all the complexity of configuring the server via SSH? While still having a high level of developer productivity with a modern toolchain. Last year, I started working on a DollarDeploy, and we are…

DollarDeploy2025 · dollardeploy.com · ▲9Hi HackerNews, Ruslan here. I once posted here a story how I got AWS $4k surprise bill for one day (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31907374), which is why I built DollarDeploy. I believe 95% of apps don't need complicated AWS infrastructure and can be hosted using simple server from Hetzner, Digital Ocean, etc. Today I am launching an AI agent on DollarDeploy. The AI agent can automatically build and deploy your NextJS/React, Go, Rust, or other types of apps to your own servers, running all commands via SSH on your server. You just type your commands or paste your…
QuickDeploy2025 · quickdeploy.dev · ▲184Hi HN, I am Max and I am building QuickDeploy! It lets you deploy web applications of all sorts to your VPS with one command! Here is a little showcase of the tool itself: https://youtu.be/Feauj4OaePg Under the hood quickdeploy detects the language and framework you use, so e.g. Next.js and then creates a Docker image. After that it starts the container and waits until it is in a healthy state before using a reverse proxy to redirect traffic to the app. Added benefit is the use of your own domain with instant https! I am super happy with the result and the ease of use. After…

Talanoa▲341Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
