Hatchbox.io

The cheapest and simplest Ruby on Rails hosting you can get.

[Hatchbox.io @hatchboxio]

If you haven't yet given us a try we have quite a nice offering to try free for 7 days plus if you use @digitalocean as your provider you can use our link to get $200 in credit with them! Really no reason to not try it all out.

[Hatchbox.io @hatchboxio]

One of many nice things about us is that if we ever go down, your app stays up.
Unlike traditional PaaS platforms, your servers live wherever you choose. We handle deploys and server config. The infrastructure stays yours.

[Hatchbox.io @hatchboxio]

Very excited for the coming months as we start working on and through our roadmap. If there's something you'd like to see on said map let us know below!

[Hatchbox.io @hatchboxio]

As the weekend approaches and you're ready to unleash your swarm of agents to build all those side projects you've been sitting on, remember that you're now freed up to think about where to host them. Consider giving us a try! https://t.co/tsOFe6g2nq

Just finished moving my other product, Preceden, off Heroku and onto @hatchboxio.

The great thing about Hatchbox is that because I already had a cluster set up for Emergent Mind, I was able to just move Preceden into it, so both apps now share the same DigitalOcean infrastructure.

As far as my monthly costs, previously on Heroku I was paying:
- $50 for Postgres
- $34.95 for SendGrid 100K
- $40 for Memcachier
- $103.65 for dynos ($50 for a Standard-2X web dyno + $50 for a Standard-2X worker dyno + $3.65 for scheduler-initiated dynos)
= $227/month

New monthly costs:
- $19.95 for Sendgrid 50K
- $8 to bump the database cluster from 80gb to 120gb to accommodate Preceden's data
- $0 additional incremental costs because it shares the same DigitalOcean infrastructure I already had set up for Emergent Mind
= $28/month

Total monthly savings: $199
Not having to deal with Heroku anymore: priceless

[Hatchbox.io @hatchboxio]

Real world savings from a real person. The proof is in the proverbial pudding!

@Shpigford @hatchboxio + @Hetzner_Online any day of the week.

@crunchydata if you need to offload the db to people who know everything about the db.

[Josh Pigford @Shpigford]

nothing i can do about 6 apps/services being down right now (see: @railway outage), but here's my plan for in the morning after i've had a fresh night of sleep...

1. move all web services to @Hetzner_Online
2. move all postgres databases to @digitalocean
3. manage it all with @hatchboxio

i've got this exact stack for other things, so i'm exceedingly comfortable with it. will just be scaling it all up to handle more apps.

all of the affected apps are rails + postgres.

[Hatchbox.io @hatchboxio]

Total control can be yours too!

[Hatchbox.io @hatchboxio]

So nice to hear folks find us easy to switch to and use our service!

[Joel Moss @joelmoss]

Just switched to @hatchboxio and OMG it's so bloody easy! ❤️

Good riddance Kamal

Mark Miller has been on @hatchboxio since 2019.

Easy to operate. Support answered in under an hour.

"Doesn't get much better than that." 🤷

We agree.

Azure Blob Storage is now an option for database backups on https://t.co/6Z48XUWkNx 🎉

[Hatchbox.io @hatchboxio]

Our customer support doesn't just answer tickets. We dig in, understand the problem, and see it through to a fix.

Jake Duchesne said it well: "If you want a deployment platform where someone genuinely has your back, Hatchbox is it."

[Hatchbox.io @hatchboxio]

@jespr You mean new apps? You can already deploy with curl but we do plan to expand the API and build a CLI for it this year. 👍

PaaS was a great deal until it wasn't.

But what changed?

Costs went up, flexibility vanished, and debugging turned into a black box.

We break down what's wrong with PaaS today, and what you can do about it with the help of tools like @hatchboxio

[Chris Oliver @excid3]

We've had database backups in @Hatchboxio for a long time and you really need to know when something goes wrong.

With our new @AppSignal integration, you can now monitor them to ensure they're backed up and stored safely every time.
