I am running a few one man saas's on a 2.99$ vps (1 per project) with php, mysql and nginx.



Where are you renting a VPS for 2.99$/mo? OVH?


Probably Hetzner.


Hetzner, Scaleway..


Just curious, but how scalable would this be? Is it a non-issue in your market segments?


Depends on how much you make from a client per month. If your product is $19 - 99 or whatever you can stick, $2.99 or $5 really doesn't mean much just to keep things simple. We do the same for the projects we have. Droplets with custom ISO (created from the original project) takes about 5 minutes to deploy and serve with new credentials to the new users. These infrastructures are I see in these posts really don't align with most single fullstack devs out there.
