I'm a backend engineer at Freshworks.

By night, I maintain the software my family's freight business runs on:
• 155,000 Firestore reads/month
• 13,000 writes/month
• 3 family members running full operations

Last month's GCP bill: ₹4.93 (~$0.06)

@Bepi_tic If a real problem is solved then we don't need to worry about the adaptation.

@Nikokow The main challenges are paperwork and process the industry is so manual.

[Nagaaswin S @NagaaswinS]

@tsvtxt Yeah exactly I'm experimenting with my country freight process. Learning on the global market and planning to expand as well.

@imdhiva Congrats @imdhiva, on the disciplined financial management. So you did have leverage of quitting and building.

[Nagaaswin S @NagaaswinS]

@imdhiva Seems Path 1 is first to start with.

April GCP bill for the freight ops software I built for my family's business:

Cloud Run: ₹2.27
Cloud Storage: ₹2.65
Total: ₹4.93

Load: 155K Firestore reads, 13K writes (monthly)
Production users running real freight operations

Wasn't one trick. Was 7 compounding. Sharing each.
