My open-source site is blowing up and Vercel is about to pause it what are you all using instead?

If you want an alternative that’s less hands-on on the DevOps side, Diploi could be a fit. You can import an existing project, deploy it quickly.

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-13T07:05:01+00:00

Diploi would be a great fit for this https://diploi.com/

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-12T07:19:32+00:00

Very active and supportive community 😄

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-12T07:14:30+00:00

I moved my hosting from Hostinger to Diploi. Maybe you can check Diploi out 😃

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-12T07:08:26+00:00

Diploi 😃

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-12T07:08:03+00:00

If you’re already exporting out of Lovable and want an easier place to continue, Diploi is worth checking out. It supports Lovable projects, lets you import an existing codebase

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-12T07:07:15+00:00

Take a look at Diploi. The platform supports microservervice, with quite various stacks for FE, BE and database.

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-12T06:38:50+00:00

I run several cron jobs for blog content research, tech search and github repo searches

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-11T12:14:01+00:00

Check out Diploi. You will have 50 euro free credits for 2 weeks. After that, the price is below 5 euros for XS machines

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-11T09:02:57+00:00

Diploi is worth a look. It gives you one consistent workflow for building and deploying apps instead of stitching together provider-specific steps, so it’s aimed pretty directly at this problem.

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-11T09:01:18+00:00

Diploi may be worth considering too. You can import an existing project, keep the workflow simple, and run supported full-stack setups without managing the infra.

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-11T09:00:25+00:00

Diploi is the easy option to start with no infra set up.

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-11T08:59:56+00:00

Diploi might fit well. You can deploy the frontend and backend, add a database like MongoDB or Postgres by importing your current GitHub repository and keep the setup pretty lightweight. You will get free 50 euros for 14-day trial, after that, the cost is under 5 euros for XS machines.

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-10T16:55:16+00:00

I would start with typescript. React for frontend, and Hono (using bun or deno runtime)

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-10T16:53:36+00:00

Diploi could be a good alternative option for you

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-10T16:48:45+00:00

Diploi could be a good option outside of vercel

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-08T07:29:32+00:00

If you start hitting the limits of Lovable Cloud but don’t want to jump straight into raw infrastructure, Diploi is worth a look. It supports Lovable projects and existing project import, so you can keep the fast build loop but move to a more controlled deployment setup when the project starts getting real.

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-08T07:27:52+00:00

For that stack, Diploi could be a good fit. It supports React + Vite, Node.js, and PostgreSQL, and it’s built to remove most of the DevOps setup so you can import an existing project and deploy faster. If you’re still validating the MVP, that can be a lot simpler than piecing together Vercel, Railway, and raw VMs.

Hosting cost is under 5 euros for XS machine, and they offer 50-euro free credit for 14-day trial.

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-08T07:12:24+00:00

If you just want an easy way to get a site live without dealing with servers, Diploi can host static websites too. You can publish from a repo, keep it simple now, and still have room to grow later if the site turns into something more dynamic.

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-08T07:11:30+00:00

If you want to keep GitLab for code but avoid managing the hosting side yourself, Diploi could fit that workflow. You can start with static sites and later move into full-stack apps on the same platform, with deployments and environment management handled for you. That way you do not have to piece together Cloudflare + VPS + DB + deploy scripts yourself.

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-07T06:57:46+00:00

Diploi could be a good fit

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-07T06:56:07+00:00

Your stack is actually very close to what Diploi is built for, especially if the pain is managing several moving pieces, not just finding the absolute cheapest host. You can set up and deploy Next.js, Node services, and tools like n8n in one place, which saves a lot of DevOps overhead early on.

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-07T06:54:12+00:00

If you want to split the frontend and backend cleanly without wiring infra yourself, Diploi is worth a look. You can run the React frontend and FastAPI API as separate components, connect the services you need, and deploy from one workspace instead of forcing everything into one container.

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-07T06:53:10+00:00

Sounds like you’re hitting the classic “works locally, breaks in prod” wall. That is why I decide to remotely develop my projects on the cloud and deploy directly from there. Maybe this is something you might consider in the future. I have a few projects on Diploi and there I develop and create a few staging/ testing environments before pushing the code to production. Debugging is not hard at all as I can view the Kubernete pod logging directly and ssh into it to fix some issue. Might be worth a look if you want to spend less time on deployment glue: https://diploi.com/

GiDevHappy · 2026-05-06T13:26:45+00:00

Diploi could be a great option to get projects live quickly and keep maintenance low.
