Idealist.orgDisco on a Hetzner server · Hetzner

Idealist.org, the nonprofit job board, moved its staging environments off Heroku, where each one was billed as a separate set of dynos and add-ons. They now run on one Hetzner server deployed with Disco, sharing a single Postgres instance, which let the team add more staging environments at no extra cost.
