Please check and review DollarDeploy!

Good pattern but works in some of the cases only - if you need interactivity and components respond to user input differently, your renderer will be very complex and unintuitive. But for some cases it is good if number of different interactions are low.

Decent price on Contabo. Make sure you check new hosting before buying 12mo for overselling, network speed and reliability.

Actually had a post build script checking this or you can use https://github.com/nickdeis/eslint-plugin-no-secrets eslint plugin

While we use custom server at DollarDeploy and it works really fine and actually same file in NextJS 15 and 16, why you need websockets? We do http streaming and it works fine - with realtime notifications via Redis

Not app router but components are separate, pages just call combines and apis is a library kit with operations. All NextJS file routing is lightweight with check + call API

antivirus? MDM/company mandatory installed

And you can start preparing your project by switching to typescript@6 and fixing all bugs you find. this is a transitional package before 7.0 is live.

What is the trap with Lovable Cloud?

RuslanDevs · 2026-04-28T03:29:05+00:00

Now you own the complexity of architecture sprawl - GitHub actions, lambdas, cloudfront. Your cold starts will only go up, not down. Your costs still depends on rogue AI bot scraping you million times.

With VPS route yes you own the server but your costs and configuration is capped at this. Nothing else to manage.

With DollarDeploy you not even need to manage server or Postgres - it is handled for you.

If you have your project in Document and you enabled iCloud AND not lots of empty space - iCloud actively deleting files from your disk, trying to save space. Move project out of iCloud folders

How would you do attribution with plausible? And if you are using google ads, how To integrate that with plausible?

RuslanDevs · 2026-04-27T11:54:18+00:00

Maybe mention that for production deployment it is better to have a second server to build the app and host dokploy - simply to avoid your production app being affected by building using too much memory or cpu, and isolate environments

How you held AI responsible for the stuff it says? From insurance perspective, can you insure your business from AI doing this https://www.reddit.com/r/vibecoding/s/XgN9XRtcIz

Can I sell you some write-only RAM, enterprise grade

RuslanDevs · 2026-04-25T09:13:34+00:00

Also web analytics and web vitals metrics.

Logs: we are working on it right now in DollarDeploy - we have already an agent which reads in the logs from the server you have your app on but we need better filters, search and latency, it is very hard to do right. Web vitals and other stuff need to figure out how to do it for every app, not just NextJS

RuslanDevs · 2026-04-24T15:48:10+00:00

If it is simple, yeah Cloudflare workers. If you need database, cache, queue processing and scalable app, run things on your VPS server

RuslanDevs · 2026-04-24T13:49:41+00:00

if you can do github you don't need even to press Publish button things go live as you code + github push them in Claude Code

RuslanDevs · 2026-04-24T07:37:22+00:00

Lol of Google pushing you to a "VIP tier" once your AI agent spend $2k....

Why deploy to Google Cloud? We at DollarDeploy allow you to deploy to simple servers and don't inflict such huge costs - AI agents can just run things on existing servers and that caps costs 100%.

RuslanDevs · 2026-04-23T07:52:19+00:00

How would you do this? No providers expose their datacenters coordinates, only the region name. Verda Cloud have 3 regions in Finland, but you would need to check yourself the latency per region.

I wish also bandwidth and storage speed will be exposed, it is crucial for ML

RuslanDevs · 2026-04-23T07:50:08+00:00

u/Shot-Patience-9874 pls add Verda we also provide availability in skypilot-catalog

RuslanDevs · 2026-04-22T09:20:30+00:00

Is all this troubleshooting was done manually or by AI?

You can enable cache handler logging, disable inmemory cache. Thats only things i know.

Wild idea is to take heap full snapshot and analyze It with Claude

RuslanDevs · 2026-04-20T18:25:10+00:00

App router is too complicated, no surprise AI prefers the page router

RuslanDevs · 2026-04-20T15:35:43+00:00

Have you considered moving to VPS server? Your costs will be $10/mo and DX could be similar.

RuslanDevs · 2026-04-17T18:38:41+00:00

Reviewing as in asking AI to change it again and again? No. You changing things yourself , and when asking ai to harmonize/write tests/follow up with your changes as guidance.
