I bootstrapped Notado[1][2] and Kullish[3] in Rust. Best tech stack decisions I ever made.
Similar setups (Rocket and Actix instead of Axum, Tera instead of Askama, Diesel instead of SQLx) and overall experience (incredibly cheap, reliable, and since these projects have been running a long time, amazingly easy to return to the codebases after months/years and make changes with a high level of confidence).
I distinctly remember how happy I felt the first time I realized that I had enough paying subscribers to offset the cost of the running the service!
