Stop paying $100+ just to run a SaaS.
Here’s my $5/month stack 👇
• $5 Hetzner VPS
• Docker → Postgres + Redis
• Auth → better-auth
• Payments → Polar
• Storage → Cloudflare R2
AI:
• Gemini flash ( Nano banana 2 ) → fast images
• Gemini pro ( Nano banana pro ) → premium outputs
• PM2 → keep everything alive
• GitHub Actions → auto deploy
That’s it.
No Vercel. No Supabase. No excuses.
Build lean. Ship faster.
You can check it , it’s running smoothly
