I'm on a mission with Sherpa.sh to help you deploy your apps without infrastructure headaches or shocking bills.

We're the truly thrifty alternative to Vercel and Heroku - same simplicity, fraction of the cost. If you're building with NextJS or anything in Docker (Rails, Django, etc) - DM me for beta access and credits!

Before this, I scaled Hivelocity to a private equity exit, learning the cloud business from codebase to boardroom. My indie hacker side hustle? Built and sold an AI insurance-lead company right here on IndieHackers.

The Real Cost of Infrastructure Hell

Ever found yourself knee-deep in cloud configuration docs at 2 AM when you should be shipping? Did "let me ship this real quick" turn into a cloud infra cage match?

Are Vercel and Heroku are draining your bank account dry? Did $30 becomes $3,000 in a heartbeat when you got traction. It's not a bug, it's their business model!

The cruel irony of infrastructure hell? The more successful your indie maker journey becomes, the more your PaaS provider punishes you for that success. Making it harder to reach the independence you're working to build.

What if there was a better way.... what if?
