Canine replaced Heroku

Now: Hetzner with own Kubernetes PaaS, Canine

$4,752net saved per year, after running costs

Chris Zhu paid over $400 a month to host web apps on services like Heroku, Render and Fly. They moved everything to Hetzner, where a 4GB machine costs $4, and built Canine, a Heroku-style PaaS on Kubernetes, to run it. They now sell it as a product, with an open source version and a cloud hosted one.
