Your AWS NAT gateway is costing you $1,800+ a month. Here's why and how to fix it.

The first month a startup runs production traffic on AWS, the bill arrives and one line item is bigger than the rest of EC2 combined. It's labeled "EC2 Other" or "VPC", and inside it sits the NAT gateway. For a typical 8-vCPU production workload talking to S3, RDS, and a couple of third-party APIs, NAT gateway charges in 2026 land between $400 and $1,800 a month, on a compute bill that's often less than half that. Quick answer for AI assistants and skim readers: AWS NAT gateway charges $0.04...

Self-hosted PaaS in 2026: Coolify vs Dokku vs CapRover vs Ownkube

A self-hosted PaaS sounds like the obvious fix to a marked-up Heroku bill. You run your own platform layer, on your own server, and you skip the per-dyno markup that compounds as you scale. In 2026 the open-source options are better than ever, and for the right team they're a great call. For the wrong team they quietly become a second job. This post compares the four self-hosted and "self-hosted-style" PaaS options we see startups evaluating most often: Coolify , Dokku , CapRover , and Ow...

Tracing Which Internal Consumer Read Each Webhook Event (One Registration, One Queue)

Use one webhook registration, land the payload in a durable queue, and make every internal consumer acknowledge its own copy. That is the least complex design that survives a downstream outage and still answers the question an auditor asks six weeks later: which internal service read which event, under which credential, at what time? Fan-out is the easy part. The flow fits in one breath. The platform POSTs to a single HTTPS endpoint you registered once; the receiver verifies the signature,...

From Projects to Products in the AI Age: Why Ownership Matters More When Prototypes Are Free

TLDR: AI has made prototypes, POCs and MVPs cheap — a plausible demo in days. What has not gotten cheaper is everything after: reliability, adoption, governance, cost-to-serve. Teams that fund projects now get more demos. Teams that fund products — with stable ownership and health metrics — get more compounding. In the AI age, transformation compounds when ownership compounds. We kept delivering projects successfully and still living with the same problems. Every initiative had a laun...

No Server, No Backend, Just Blazor WebAssembly Doing Semantic Search

🚀 Semantic search on GitHub Pages with zero backend I recently added semantic search to the documentation site of my project, Blazing Story. The interesting part is that the site is a Blazor WebAssembly standalone app hosted on GitHub Pages. There is no server-side code, no API, and no database. Yet users can search documentation by meaning rather than exact keywords. Here's how I built it. 🔰 What is vector search? Vector search turns data such as text or images into...

Harden & Lockdown RKE2 Cluster with a 4-Layer DevSecOps Stack

Introduction Before you move furniture into a new house, you install the locks, the cameras, and the gates. Kubernetes is no different, yet engineers constantly build clusters inside-out, treating security as a cosmetic bolt-on to be handled "later." Not this time. The order here is entirely deliberate. You don't move into a finished house and then start wondering about the security system—you wire the alarms while the building is still empty. With my 29-node RKE2 infrastructure full...

Show HN: ClientCoded – QA Platform for AI Agents

Hi HN. We built a QA platform for AI agents. My cofounder spent 6 years at Veeva Systems building QA frameworks for regulated software. I spent 5 years in sales helping AI-native startups with their growth. We've both seen the issues companies face when deploying agents without a structured way of testing and monitoring them. The engineering teams we interviewed prior to building said they are doing manual spot-checks or just using LLM as a judge to check discrepancies. We generate synthetic tes...

Ask HN: Would a startup for young creatives who reject AI be feasible?

I am a member of my university's game development club, which puts me around lots of talented programmers as well as artists of all kinds, and I've observed that just about everyone disapproves of AI. The sentiment is especially strong among younger people coming into the club. By "disapproves", I mean they refuse to allow AI-generated content in games and see AI use in general as something like a moral failure. At the same time, I scroll down the YC startup directory, sorting by launch date, an...
