It really is such a cool concept. The autism in me hates the name though because there's always a server. I wish it were called a "container-based service" or even just "containers" instead of serverless to be more direct. Perhaps even "web functions."

There's so much big talk about scale but really, scaling is not that important to 99% of businesses I've worked at. You're not a startup. Your typical server has a huge amount of resources if managed appropriately. I guarantee and would bet money that you'll never have a million users let alone a billion using your medical coding web app. Like, sit down!

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.
