Stackap for solo founders

A solo founder who runs several products can put them on one Stackap server with one bill and one backup system, in exchange for becoming the person who operates that server.

The situation

Stackap came out of exactly this situation. The founder runs a handful of products, one of them a multi-tenant CRM serving about a hundred businesses, and the hosting for them was spread across several vendors.

Alone, the cost of that sprawl is not mainly money. It is attention. Every product has its own dashboards, its own keys and its own way of failing, and you are the only one who knows where they are.

What Stackap gives you here

One server hosting every product, with each in its own project and its own database.
One place to look for health, with alerts sent to a Telegram chat on your phone.
One backup system with a visible record of when each database last proved it restores.
A command to roll back a bad release at any hour without opening a laptop full of dashboards.

How it looks in practice

The founder's current sites run on one four-core, eight-gigabyte server, with storage and backups in a bucket he owns.

The routine is light but real: glance at the status when an alert arrives, keep the master key somewhere safe, and keep the server's operating system updated.

Early-access fit

Early access is a less natural fit if you cannot afford a bad evening. With one person, an outage at night is yours alone, and there is no standby server to fail over to.

Early access is a less natural fit if one of your products is large enough to need its own machine. Putting everything on one server means a busy product slows the others.

Early-access scope

Early access is run by the founder directly, so you work with the person who builds it.
The monitor runs on the server it watches, so a total outage cannot alert you. Add an outside uptime check.
Everything shares one machine's four cores and eight gigabytes.
Recovery from a total loss of the server has not been tested end to end.

Questions

How many apps fit on one server?

It depends on what they do. Static sites cost almost nothing, and a busy Node app can use a whole core, so count by load and not by number.

Do I need to be a DevOps engineer?

You need to be comfortable with a terminal and DNS. You do not need to configure certificates, proxies or backup scripts by hand.
