​ Hi all, I’m a founder in Spain building a managed PostgreSQL service and want honest feedback on pricing before opening it up. I run a €30M ARR business in a different industry. We had to use a managed database from a big provider, which was very expensive for the performance we were actually getting, but we needed HA so we were stuck. That’s when I started considering another startup. Here’s the general idea: You create a database from a web dashboard and get a single connection string. That string always points to the current primary, so if a failover happens your app reconnects to the same address and carries on. There’s nothing to change on your side. Behind it, each HA database runs as a primary plus a synchronous standby on two separate servers in different zones. Backups run continuously: every change is archived to object storage with a different provider, so even losing the whole hosting provider doesn’t lose your data. You can restore to any point in the last 7 days. We handle monitoring, failover and maintenance; you just use Postgres. It runs on European bare metal rather than shared cloud VMs, which is how we keep prices flat with no egress or IOPS fees. Highly available (per month, excl. VAT): \\- Starter, €39: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB storage \\- Standard, €89: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB storage \\- Pro, €169: 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB storage \\- Business, €329: 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 200 GB storage Free: one per account. Single node, 256 MB RAM, 1 GB storage. To be upfront: this is a beta with no SLA yet. Failover runs 24/7, and human support is 09:00 to 18:00 CET on business days. If the standby is down, the primary keeps accepting writes asynchronously, so losing the primary during that window can lose the latest commits. \*\*I’d love to know:\*\* \\- Which plan would you pick for a real project, if any? \\- At what price would this feel too cheap to trust, and at – what price too expensive? \\- What would you need to see before moving a production database? \\- What are you using now, and what does it cost? \*\*Early beta offer\*\*: anyone who participates in this thread will have 30% off any plan when we launch! submitted by /u/eu_pg [link] [comments]

So I kinda make web and profile decor like little pixel icons and stuff, and I’ve been keeping them in Rentry (cuz idk where else, lol) but I experienced some trouble with the image hosting websites I use. All the sites I’m aware of are postimg, imgur, catbox and 8upload. The problem with postimg is that all the pictures I uploaded dissapeared and it’s not the first time it happened (I have an account, in case that’s relevant somehow). For imgur, no matter the link I grab the pic just doesn’t show up (I might be doing it wrong) and I don’t know for how long the images are hosted. For catbox I have to reload rentry until the pic shows up (only happens in rentry). And 8upload kinda modified one of my gifs so I’m a little wary. I tried viewing the page on my phone and my sister’s laptop, tried reuploading the images to these websites multiple times but nothing worked, sadly. I need to know if there’s a way to host images for a very long period of time (forever, if possible) and I kinda need it to be free cuz idk how any of that paying thing works. Sorry if this sounds strange, english is not my first language. I’m also what I’ve seen people call “tech illiterate” so bear with me… submitted by /u/ClarkBFDI [link] [comments]

Curious to get a read from people who’ve actually made this switch rather than just researched it. Full disclosure since it’s relevant: I work on the team at Antryk, a GPU cloud hosting platform, so take my framing with a grain of salt — I’m not here to pitch, genuinely trying to learn from this sub’s experience. We keep hearing the same three complaints from teams evaluating a move away from the big general-purpose clouds (AWS/GCP/Azure) for GPU-heavy workloads: Billing opacity — surprise costs from egress, idle instances, or reserved capacity they didn’t fully understand upfront Provisioning lag — waiting on GPU availability/quotas instead of just getting compute when they need it Support that doesn’t understand ML/AI workloads — generic tickets vs. someone who actually gets what you’re running For those who’ve switched (to any provider, not just us): What was the actual trigger that made you switch — a bad bill, a support nightmare, a specific outage? What do you wish you’d asked before switching that you only learned the hard way? Anyone switch and regret it / go back? Not trying to turn this into a shootout between providers — more interested in what “good” actually looks like from the buyer’s side, since most of the marketing pages all say the same things. submitted by /u/muthuselvi-antryk [link] [comments]
