After a year of building in this space, I keep running into the same walls. Stripe rate-limits metering events at 100 req/s — a ceiling that's invisible until you hit 10M events/month, usually at the worst possible time.

Every major cloud billing platform charges a percentage of revenue that sounds fine at $1M ARR and becomes a $150k/year line item at $30M, for infrastructure whose actual cost to the vendor barely moved.

When pipelines misbehave, there's no audit trail you control — a Vercel customer got a $96k bill in a single month from a misconfigured deployment with nothing to catch it early. I tried to find a comparison of the main platforms that wasn't written with a vendor's thumb on the scale, couldn't, so I wrote one covering 7 of them.

I'll be upfront: I'm doing a product management bootcamp and I've been given the terrifying assignment of "go talk to real humans". So here I am.

If you've ever tried to build a website for your freelance work, your coaching practice, your side hustle — or whatever it is you do — and had a moment where you wanted to throw your laptop out the window... I'd love to hear about it.

No sales pitch. No product to show you. Just me, a Google Meet link, 20 minutes of your time, and a genuine curiosity about how people like you actually deal with getting online without a CS degree.

If you're open to a quick chat I'd be incredibly grateful. Drop a comment or DM me and we'll find a time that works.

Thank you 🙏 (and yes, I will remember you fondly in my bootcamp assignment)
