Hosting and email for my whole stack: $3.49/month. Boring on purpose...
โ๏ธ Go backend x2: go is lightweight, understandable. Single binary, tiny memory footprint, idles at near zero. One for admin API, one static file server with subdomain routing.
๐๏ธ Postgres: one database doing several jobs. Boring. That's the point.
โ๏ธ React SPA: admin-heavy app, nearly every screen behind a login. Static bundle, API calls.
๐ River: task queue that runs on the Postgres I already have. No Redis, no broker, no extra process to keep alive at 3am. Jobs are rows in a table I can query.
โ๏ธ Resend: transactional email. Clean API, free tier covers this stage comfortably.
๐ Railway: $1.91/month at today's volume. Usage-based, so it tracks real traffic instead of a plan I guessed at in advance. Deploy is a git push.
๐ฎ Migadu: inboxes, $19/year. Priced per domain, not per mailbox โ hello@, support@ and billing@ all cost the same as one.
๐ Monitoring: just me manually no alerting, no dashboards. For now...
Fewer moving parts beats optimization while you're still hunting for traction.
What's boring in your stack? ๐
