An important distinction here is that PanelBear (OP's One Man SAAS) is something I would define as an "analytics" SAAS and as such has requirements that are way above what a typical CRUD SaaS might have.
That's not to take anything away from the excellent writeup, but more so that someone who is thinking about starting a SaaS maybe doesn't jump to the conclusion of "I should go learn Kubernetes".
Yep, and their recommendation on Render is a good one. I used it for a SaaS / fintech app I built and it couldn't be easier to work with. Great support too if you need it.
