HN discussionThanks A LOT for kind words. So first I am thinking what is the best way to offer scaling. There are so many ways how it can be done and in other comment threads there are hot debates happening about that. It is still an open question.

HN discussion3 years ago, I tried Heroku and was quite impressed by it. Although the price is prohibitive for a hobby project that needed resources but wasn't generating any revenue, I had to start seeking other options. Ended up developing my own Heroku but focused on Django deployments. Three years later, it works like a charm and has many happy folks who thank me for making it. Meet Appliku: https://appliku.com

HN discussionThanks for all kind words. I am curious what makes it tough to deploy on render? I didn’t do it alone, the marketing website, illustrations, logo, testing and a lot of product work was done by my cofounder @krisindev But all of the coding of the app itself yes - that’s me :) Would you like to join our discord https://appliku.com/discord and so I can ask you a million questions about your struggles with deployments?…
