My 2020 looks like this:
no docker
no k8s
1 server
git repo
/var/www/domain_name
git clone git_url /var/www/domain_name/backend/
cd /var/www/domain_name/backend/
go build
Updates
git pull
go build
systemctl restart domain_name.backend.service
I pay 46€/month and I'm looking forward to halve those costs.
Server load is mostly <0.5
I call this the incubation server.
If a project takes off I rent a more expensive, but dedicated, server.
It's very unlikely that I ever need more than 1 single server per project.
I will never write microservices, I can scale fine with a monolith.
Lately I even moved away from JS frontends to render everything with Go on the server.
Yeah it requires more resources but I'll gladly offer those resources for lower response times and a consistent experience.
Sadly companies that are hiring don't see it that way. That's ok. I'll just stay unemployed and try building my own stuff until something succeeds again.
I had a 7 year long project that brought in 5-7k€/m. The server costed 60€/m.
I can do that again. I know it's not your kind of scale or income level, but it allowed me to have a good life living it my way.
