Stop Paying for Monitoring: The Self-Hosted Stack for Indie SaaS Founders I'm going to say the quiet part loud: most indie SaaS founders are wildly overpaying for monitoring. I was too. Then I stopped. Here's what I was running before I built my own stack: Datadog: ~$15/host/month (that's the "cheap" tier) PagerDuty: $21/user/month Baremetrics: $129/month to see my own Stripe data That's $165+ every single month before I made a single dollar. For a solo founder? That's obscene.
