Thanks! Very happy so far with how it's going. The app is written in Rails, and I use Postgres/Redis for the data and memcached for a lot of caching. Everything is hosted in a Kubernetes cluster than I manage entirely myself. Ask away if you would like to know more :)

Why did you choose to manage the k8s cluster yourself and didn't go with a managed service, that may arguably save time and maintenance?

For one it's a lot cheaper - I use Hetzner Cloud and I have plenty of resources for just 70e/mo. But I also like devops etc so I don't mind it :) Later of course I can switch easily to a managed service if needed.

Indeed important :) I wonder what is the difference in price. Thanks for sharing!

I dunno. What makes me wonder is, if Hetzner Cloud can offer an excellent service (great performance, very reliable, very good control panel etc) for those prices, try and imagine how much money AWS/GCP/Azure make!!
