Looking for SaaS founders running a single VPS

When a founder tells me their SaaS server is acting strange, I usually don’t start by checking CPU or memory.

The first thing I check is disk.

More specifically, log growth.

I’ve seen VPS setups where everything looked normal:

CPU stable
RAM stable
Application responding

But in the background:

• auth logs growing nonstop
• debug logs accidentally left enabled
• application logs never rotated

Slowly the disk fills.

Then suddenly things start breaking:

Nginx refuses to start.
Database writes fail.
Background jobs stop.

To the founder it looks like the server “randomly crashed”.

But it didn’t crash.

It slowly suffocated.

I’m looking to connect with founders currently running SaaS on a single VPS (DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Linode, etc).

Curious what kind of weird production issues you’ve seen.

What was the strangest thing that ever broke your server?
