My one-man-SaaS setup:
- Static frontend hosted on Netlify (free unlimited scale)
- Backend server on Google App Engine (connecting to Gcloud storage and managed DB via magic)
I realize I'm opening myself up to vendor lock-in and increased costs down the road (if I even get that far), but I've wrangled enough Docker/k8s/Ingress setups in the past to know it's just not worth the time and effort for a non-master.
I love this post. I'm a big believer that one and two man startups will continue to build more and more impressive products. My one man startup 42papers.com (A community for top trending papers in CS/DL/ML) has the following stack.
1. Firebase Hosting for the React frontend
2. GraphJin (Automatic GraphQL to SQL Engine) on App Engine for the backend
3. Cloud SQL Postgres for DB
