You don't get disappointed by providers like Netlify or Vercel: your app gets deployed with only a few clicks, and it's completely free. An amazing user experience, and I used it to host all my other apps like weekly-vue.news and CodeSnap.dev. Things get tricky when your apps become more traffic as you only get a limited amount of bandwidth, build minutes, serverless function calls, etc., so I had to switch to the Pro team plan, which is at $19/month. I had to pay $25/month for edge function calls as my function calls exceeded the free limit. A quick win was to migrate some of my Nuxt server routes out to AWS Lambda functions. But this way, my code was split between the Nuxt app and the AWS Lambda functions which made the codebase harder to maintain. To solve those problems, I moved my apps to Render. There, you pay a server for each of your web apps but you don't have any function call limitations. You get a server with 0.5 CPU and 512MB RAM for $7/month. Soon, I had to switch to the Team plan for $19/month as I exceeded the free bandwidth of 100GB. The next problem was a traffic spike at one of my apps, which killed the server because it exceeded its server memory limit and wasn't accessible anymore during that time. Upgrading to the next higher server would cost $25/month for 1 CPU and 2GB RAM... I was shocked and decided to move my apps to Coolify, which I already used to host my analytics database and some monitoring tools like Grafana. I knew that the cheapest server rented from Hetzner at ~$4/month would provide me with 2 CPUs and 4GB RAM. This solution is the most cost-effective one for me, and I can scale my servers as needed. Additionally, I don't have to worry about any limitations like bandwidth, build minutes, or function calls and any serverless horror stories So, let's do a short cost comparison of hosting my three Nuxt apps with the following providers: 👉🏻 Netlify: $44/month (could potentially grow if I exceed more limits) 👉🏻 Render: $40/month 👉🏻 Coolify & Hetzner: $23/month For more details, check out my blog post: 📗 Read the blog post 📅 Events VueConf CN 2024 (6 July 2024, Shenzhen, China) PrageVue 2024 (17 September 2024, Prag, Czech Republic) vuejs.de Conf (8 - 9 October 2024, Bonn, Germany) Vue Fes Japan 2024 (19 October 2024, Otemachi, Japan) VueConf Toronto (18 - 20 November 2024, Toronto, Canada) 💬 Quote of the week 🧑🏻‍💻 In Other News 📕 Data Fetching Patterns in Single-Page Applications 👉🏻 An incredibly in-depth look at data fetching in single-page applications. 👉🏻 Each pattern has its pros and cons, and this will give you all of them. 📕 Prerender pages in Chrome for instant page navigations 👉🏻 Chrome has reintroduced full prerendering of pages to improve navigation speed by using the address bar, bookmarks, search suggestions, and the Speculation Rules API. 📕 CSS Length Units 👉🏻 Save this one for your bookmarks—it's a great guide to all things CSS sizes! 🛠️ Write Bug Reports Developers Love 👉🏻 A simple checklist of the essential items to include in your bug reports. 😂 Fun Comments?
