I have looked into Vercel alternatives like Coolify and Dockploy and decided to use none.

This is where the Kubernetes complexity comes to the rescue. Since I already have a cluster, it's "relatively" easy to build the GitOps pipeline with FluxCD.
People like to laugh at that complexity, but it genuinely delivers SaaS level workflows that you can OWN.

Once in place, no company can do a rug pull like Vercel did with their price increase AND AI training on my data.

@hmiron Agreed, Kubernetes has a learning curve, but the payoff in control and portability is substantial. On top of that, learning K8s can be quite satisfying (imho). Running a cluster still costs money if you don’t have the hardware yourself but you’re still not locked into one specific ecosystem. If your provider is getting expensive you can spin up a cluster elsewhere and redeploy. That exit strategy alone is worth a lot.

@no_blockers exactly, and learning it feels like a good investment because you will become more independent and you will actually own your stack.
