Hey everyone, I’ve built an AI-powered CSV processing backend and I’m trying to understand whether the performance issues I’m seeing in production are expected — or if I’m using the wrong hosting platform. https://jetcontext.vercel.app/ Stack Backend: FastAPI (async), Python 3.11 DB: Supabase (Postgres via asyncpg, pooler 6543) Cache: Redis (Upstash) Data processing: Pandas + NumPy LLM calls: External API (streaming responses) Hosting: Render (free tier) Frontend: Vercel What the backend does – Upload CSV (up to ~100MB for testing) – Profile dataset (row count, column types, missing values, stats) – Run optimization logic (column relevance detection, filtering, aggregation) – Send compressed prompt to LLM – Stream response back via SSE The Issue Everything runs perfectly fine locally: – Profiling is fast – Query responses are quick – Streaming works smoothly But on Render free tier: – Cold starts are slow – CSV processing takes significantly longer – Sometimes requests feel “stuck” – Larger files are borderline unusable No crashes. Just very slow. My Question Is this simply expected behavior on Render free tier due to: – CPU throttling? – Memory limits? – Container sleeping? – Shared infrastructure? Or is there a better free (or near-free) alternative that handles CPU-heavy Python workloads better? What I’m Specifically Looking For – A free tier that doesn’t aggressively sleep – Better CPU performance for Pandas workloads – Compatible with async FastAPI – Suitable for an MVP Has anyone hosted similar workloads (FastAPI + Pandas + Supabase) somewhere faster for free? Or is this just the reality that free tiers aren’t meant for data-heavy backends? Appreciate any insights 🙏 submitted by /u/Turbulent-Day2456 [link] [comments]

Just read the ad by Airbnb offering a platform they have created so we can do direct booking. What’s in it for them? Are they trying to get ahead of the game since I’ve heard so many people here have been doing that on their own. My apologies if this has already been discussed here -I haven’t been keeping up with this list submitted by /u/Chance-Repeat8446 [link] [comments]

I would really love some help as I’m a bit lost as to what to do. The Problem We are a 30 year old smaller software corporation that is making the move from a desktop app to a SaaS web app. This will be a major application used by other businesses and government entities with incredibly high requirements for security and reliability. If the website goes down or is hacked, it could destroy our company. Meanwhile, I’ve been assigned to learn and manage the hosting and I.T. processes and services for our app. While I know my way around AWS well enough to make an EC2 instance and attach storage and a security group, I am primarily a web developer and not an I.T. professional. I don’t mind learning what I need to know and have in the past. However: my primary concern is if I make a mistake in setting things up that causes a vulnerability or downtime, it could destroy the company. Since my primary job is a developer, I don’t want to have to actively manage the solution (such as applying security updates). I also don’t want to be the one accountable for any consequences if this doesn’t get done. I’m also concerned that prices will be unexpectedly high if I choose the wrong solution. We cannot hire an I.T. professional either as there is not room in the budget. What We Need So I’m looking for a solution where once it is set up, it won’t take management and auto scales, I can feel comfortable that it’s not going to get hacked or go down (unless half the internet goes down too) and they take care of the security updates. It would be nice if there weren’t potential pricing pitfalls and if it was on AWS since we already have a presence and knowledge of their services, though I would entertain better options. I should specify that if it gets hacked due to a code vulnerability or a failure on the host’s side, that is of course understandable. I just don’t want to be the one responsible for ensuring security on a hosting level if possible. Our App Our app will not get heavy traffic, as we have only around 1000 high paying customers. It’s built on node.js with SvelteKit (and Fastify for some API stuff). The database is currently Postgres. It is early in development though, so we can pivot if needed. Let me know if there is anything else you need to know. Research I’ve Done Since our company would prefer to stick with AWS if possible, I’ve looked at AWS services but there are a million ways to host a web app on there (Beanstalk, App Runner, Lightsail, ECR, Fargate, and now EC2 Express Mode). It’s difficult to figure out what the differences are and I see conflicting advice because it seems some of the information is out of date. I’ve also heard things like Google’s App Engine is just plain better, but I’ve heard it’s not as reliable as well. Does anyone have any recommendations that could help me? submitted by /u/MYSTONYMOUS [link] [comments]
