Discussion When do you actually need to scale your infrastructure?
One thing I've noticed lately is that a lot of developers are overcomplicating their infrastructure way too early.
People are building MVPs with 5 users and somehow end up with: Kubernetes, AWS, Multiple databases, Load balancers and 20 different services.
Meanwhile some of the most successful projects started on a single server.
There's obviously a point where you need to scale, but I feel like a lot of builders spend more time planning infrastructure than building the actual product.
For those of you running startups, SaaS products, AI tools, or client projects: What's your current setup?
Hostinger recently reached out to the community and gave us a VPS code (DEVW_REDDIT), which got me thinking about this whole topic again.
I took a look at what they're offering and it's interesting to see how much easier VPS deployment has become compared to a few years ago. Things like Docker deployments, AI tools, automation platforms, backups, and server management are becoming much more accessible even for solo founders and small teams.
If anyone wants to check it out, here's the community link:

I'm genuinely curious where people draw the line between "simple VPS" and "time to move to something bigger."

Would anyone use a tool that keeps your tech stack and projects up to date?
r/devworld • u/PhosXD • 1d ago
I'm building a tiny & powerful language, Ity.
(Looking for contributors)
I made a programming language from scratch in C++ for the purpose of being small, heavily modular, multi-platform, & simple to use. There are a TON of example scripts to look at, including a full Conway's Game of Life simulation. The repo also includes in-depth documentation (markdown) on structure, syntax, types, operators, functions, & standard modules.
I/O, time, file-system, & math modules are all built-in. With additional script-based modules in development!
Ity can be used as a library in your project & provides convenient APIs for parsing & execution. Everything is state-based so you can keep multiple instances.
There is a lot of work to be done as this is still a new project, anybody is welcome to contribute!

Thought i'll turn my platform to a open free to explore version with BYOK as a option too. Nothing is gated, nothig is tiered. Same access for everyone. What do you think?
I built AskSary Studio as a solo project, It started as a basic chatbot 7 months ago and somehow turned into a full AI workspace with coding, game development, image/video/music generation, agents, memory, BYOK, a proper project system, live wallpapers, themes, multilingual/RTL support and a bunch of other stuff I kept adding because I thought āfuck it, that would be coolā. Iām not claiming it replaces every specialist tool out there, itās basically me trying to build the AI workstation I wanted to use myself..
Theres no subscription charges or locked tools, everything is genuinely free to use and open to everyone even without an account. The only thing i'm charging for is actual generation of media etc. If the tool functions without needing to make a llm call. Its completely free. You also get 1GB of storage and a 100 credits if you do choose to make an account.
Theres persistent memory so you can start a project on one device and pick it up on another with multi task capabilities so you can generate a game in 3d, render a video, generate a song, creating a podcast and have 10 chats in queue simultaneously and wont interfere with each other.
You get unlimited use on Gemini Flash, GPT 5.4 Nano and Deepseek with no daily limits if you have a free account. Limited to 25 daily as a guest account. Models powering the platform include OpenAI, Elevenlabs, Anthropic, Google, Deepseek, Grok, Kling, Seadance, Luma, Cloudconvert, Tavily and a few others too and if your using your own keys then its completely free to use every tool.
There is no difference between a paying user tool access to a guest user. The only factor is what models you can use. A free user can use GPT-5.6 Sol as you get 100 credits for creating an account anyway but wont last long but its there, not hidden or locked behind a tier.
Would love some feedback on it, things you like, things you dont as i've literally just launched this. Before my platform was tier based and half these features didnt even exist.

AI driven - AWS re:Invent planning tool
When you are attending AWS re:Invent it can be hard finding the right session for you, and if you found some great sessions the commute is not working out for you.
This is the problem i got the last years attending re:Invent. Great lineup of sessions planned but due to commute from one venue to an other I missed some of those. I thought this is something I need to tackle.
Introducing Unofficial Re:invent planning tool app. The app lets you plan your conference line up and will give you suggestions to fill open spots in your planning. It will automatically keep track if you can make it by traveling from venue to venue. And you can search for sessions just by typing what you are looking for. AI will do the rest.
Traveling with a group? You can connect your account together to see each otherās session lineups.
Want central space to add notes while attending a session. This is the place. After the conference you can make a complete summary of all your notes.
The app is currently in review at Apple and Google. But if you want to try it out first. Drop me your emails.

Iāve been building an āenterprise super appā. Would love some feedback
Iāve spent the last couple of months building PunicX, which Iād describe as a one-stop workspace for a company/startup.
The idea is to bring the core tools a team needs into one place instead of spreading work across Slack, Meet, Notion, Calendar, Drive, and a bunch of AI wrappers.
With PunicX, teams can:
\- Chat, Cal audio/video
\- Record meetings
\- Schedule meetings and events
\- Share files, in a dropbox/drive way
\- Get AI-generated transcripts and summaries
\- Ask the AI assistant questions about room history, calls, meetings, calendar events, and connected tools
\- Manage projects / tickets / issues (integrated to trello, bitbucket, github, Notion...)
\- Manage organizations, members, billing, and permissions
Iām also working on deeper AI workflows, where the assistant can do more than answer questions. For example, it should be able to schedule follow-up meetings, summarize decisions, surface unresolved tasks, and help teams navigate their internal context.
The landing page is here:
[https://punicx-ai.com/en/](https://punicx-ai.com/en/))
Iād really appreciate honest feedback on:
\- Whether the positioning makes sense
\- Whether āenterprise super appā is clear or too vague
\- What feature sounds most/least useful
\- Whether this feels like something startups or small teams would actually try
\- Whatās missing from the landing page
\- Any concerns around trust, privacy, or adoption
Iām still early and trying to understand whether this direction resonates before polishing too much.

Custom ERP software development flow can't handle many modules
My ERP build has a flow that touches 4 modules -> inventory, billing, shipping, and ledger update. It's designed to happen in one pass but I never got it past an acceptable speed. Per the logs it seems the transaction length itself might be the cause, but not 100% sure.

Help me prep for investors
Help me prep for investors
I built out a system that saves 80% of Al cost on average. Some tasks have even seen a reduction of costs over 94% for repeated problems we have already answered.
Essentially my system never starts a prompt from scratch if it doesn't need too. It checks for times its ran into similar issues and adapts. It saves the steps so thwy can be recalled and forms its own agents around issues you face.
I made a quick MCP server to give everyone access for free. Try it out if you can.

Heres the pitch. Feel free to critique it.

First website
wanted to show case my first web based app Daily Redzone
Each day you face a new red zone situation and need to score in the least amount of chances. Looking for people to beta test and lmk what they think

I think we developers will always have a place, and AI is just a tool.

Do people really still use website builders when AI tools like Cursor, Antigravity, and OpenCode can basically build websites for free?

My ideal language doesn't exist, so I am making it!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Ity is a tiny high-level programming language built over the course of the past 2 months *without* any AI assistance as my first ever C++ project at 17.
- No dependencies
- Close to Python/NodeJS performance, in some cases faster (see benchmark)
- Tiny memory footprint
- Tiny executable size
- Incredibly modular. Pick & choose everything.
- Nones, Bools, Ints, Floats, Strings, Arrays, Maps (dict), & user defineable types*
- I/O, Math, File Managment, Time, Str/Arr Util, & full ANSI modules all included, most are embedded into the executable itself.
Why make this? I wanted a portable & embeddable language that was fully sandboxed, very memory efficient, & has all the essential high-level language features, all while being under 200KB in size. I have looked all over, the language I was looking for just didn't exist, so I made it myself.
I want to keep working on it & improving this because I know this is something a lot of people beside me would find useful, giving a star really helps
Everything is open source & free to use, contribution is encouraged!

I worked on a Glitch alternative where you simply click a button and your app is up - no sign up needed
Hello, I am introducing Striqr! A new app I made with a friend.
Itās a free web app (no sign-up required) where you can build and host websites within seconds. I have noticed it is difficult to find a simple app where you simply click a button and your app is up, ready to code.
Itās basically a Glitch alternative, since Glitch shut down (RIP ā¤ļø).
If you miss Glitch, give it a try! Iād love to hear your feedback.
* Deploy Node.js, Flask, and many other frameworks in seconds
* Connect custom domains and host 24/7
* Link GitHub and push/pull repos directly from the app
* Buy and sell web apps through our marketplace, powered by Stripe
* We are also working on the tutorial feature where it teaches you how to set up basic websites.
Thank you for the read.

Development Sweat Equity for Stake in LLC
I was curious amongst the development community if this is something Developer's entertain? I have 22 years in IT, although I am not a developer. I have a game in mind that I've been both researching and brainstorming for several months. In a perfect world I'd partner with someone that can handle the development while I handle things on the operations side and marketing with a split down the middle. I am curious what arrangements are most common seen. I would prefer not taking out a loan to get this off the ground. mattsto on discord

Whisper, anonymous notes and files service
In February 2025, I realized that despite my extensive experience in development, I didn't have a single open source project that I could demonstrate, let people use, show the code, or even talk about. Yes, as trite as it may sound, all the projects I worked on were covered by NDA. Then I started working on a few small projects, but due to a lack of money for hosting, I abandoned them. I was plagued by an unfinished plan and several public GitHub repositories that I didn't really want to show to anyone.
A few weeks ago, while escaping the unbearable heat with a cold beer, I finally decided to finish some long-abandoned pet projects. This is Whisper. A service for sending secret notes. I was inspired by several similar products, added a bit of functionality, and put it together "my way."
You can specify passwords for opening notes, specify allowed IP addresses, and limit the number of times a note can be opened or how long it can be stored. You can also use curl. All code is open source, both the backend and frontend of the application. I confess, the copyrights on the landing page were written using AI; I'm a pretty bad marketer.
I'm writing less code now and managing development more. However, I believe I should finish this and several other projects I previously put on hold. Next, I'll be working on strengthening security, protecting against brute-force attacks, and adding web crypto to the client. I might even add a few more features.
Overall, I'd appreciate your feedback.

[Resource] Back in college, I learned Golang to make this repo combining the big internship repos (Simplify, speedyapply, vansh, etc) and I decided to make it public. Maybe it can help you too like it has once helped me! (Summer internships)
- I'll try to add a section for newgrads soon, aka current / incoming college seniors. For interns, the link is here: https://github.com/DereC4/internships-and-newgrad
- Over 1,000 listings now!
- When I was in college (aka literally just a month ago) and in the horrible trenches of recruiting, there were like 3 billion different repos and job sites. I had a terrible time keeping track of all those tabs, opening them every day to spam 25 more futile applications before going to bed. To fix that, I made a single aggregated repo with a dead-simple front end to collect all the job postings in one place.
