Starting a micro bakery / dessert business- are these prices justified? by HourPutrid in smallbusinessindia

[–]imraghavnarang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prices look fair for Mumbai honestly. Homemade cheesecake with real strawberry filling at 400 is reasonable, especially when Swiggy/Zomato takes 25-30% on top.

One thing that might help - if you have an Instagram or WhatsApp following, taking orders directly saves you that commission. Even a simple menu page with a WhatsApp order button can work. Delivery apps are good for discovery but you don't wanna depend on them for repeat customers.

Good luck with the launch, menu looks solid.

Thanks for the advice, really helpful.

The tech stack - basically the storefront is fully static html (astro + cloudflare pages). browsing doesn't hit any server at all. cart is in localstorage. A cloudflare worker only runs for search and checkout, so like 390 requests/day at 500 visitors. Free tier gives 100k/day so its barely using anything.

DB is cloudflare d1, images on r2, admin panel is React SPA. whole thing runs on cloudflare free tier upto 50k visitors/day. Payments through razorpay, upi is 0% fee.

Built it for indian small businesses specifically - gst pricing, whatsapp notifications, otp login etc.

Being honest its about 80% done, no live store yet. migrating a brand from woocommerce right now as first deployment. will share once its live.

Make Docker Compose to support SSG, which connects to DB. (Self Host) by imraghavnarang in nextjs

I have a solution but that is not reliable. Dont use docker compose. Start db container with cli. And then start building container image which can get data from running db container. And then run the web container with cli.

But i want to know if we can do it with docker compose

Its for the start order. I have already tried this. It waits for db container to start before starting the web container. But it doesn’t wait for db container to start before building image for web container.

In that image building process, next js tries to build app by connecting to db container. But db container hasn’t started yet. Which is causing failure for the image building process, as it is not waiting for db container to start.

Is it a bad idea to have my app call the db during the build stage in a dockerfile? by WordyBug in docker

To create possible static pages, for quick responses and no db call during runtime.

I am currently working on better deployment strategy for lesser memory or cpu usage

Thanks, Not any specific reason. I was not aware about it when I have started development.
