Do you run multiple SaaS apps and what is your monthly cost? 🧐
Hey indie hackers,
Do you own multiple SaaS apps? And what is your monthly infra cost?
The reason I'm asking is this tweet from Vic Vijayakumar got me thinking that many indie hackers and bootstrapped founders probably have several SaaS apps at the same time because of these two reasons
- constantly trying out different ideas to see which one sticks
- each SaaS app brings in a small amount of revenue, and altogether makes a good amount of profit
For those who juggle multiple SaaS apps, I'm curious about what struggles you the most? 🧐
My apps all run on individual VPSs. Each app has a dev instance and a prod instance -- usually dev can get by with only using 1-2GB RAM. Total cost is $25/mo per app with this architecture.
These host web front-end, databases, and backend processing.
I make use of services for messaging, marketing, etc. These I also keep independent.
Hey Keith, thanks for sharing! What is your reasoning behind having individual VPS for each app? I guess it could be...
Mostly separation of concerns. I sold one of my apps last year and that made things super easy too.
That totally makes sense!
