I kept seeing people spend hundreds of dollars every month on infrastructure, so I decided to see how far a $0/month stack could actually go.
Here’s my current setup:
Supabase → Database, Auth & Storage
Resend → Transactional emails
Vercel → Hosting & preview deployments
GitHub Actions → Cron jobs & automation
Cloudflare → DNS, CDN & caching
PostHog → Product analytics
Sentry → Error monitoring
Remotion → Programmatic video rendering
The interesting part isn't that every service is permanently free.
It's that free tiers can be surprisingly powerful when you combine them intelligently.
For a small SaaS, MVP, side project, or early-stage product, this can potentially delay a lot of infrastructure costs until you actually have meaningful usage.
Obviously, free-tier limits vary, and once traffic grows, you'll eventually need to pay for some services.
But that's the point:
Why pay $200/month before you actually need $200/month worth of infrastructure?
What does your $0–$50/month startup stack look like?
