But, it wasn’t for a lack of trying. It’s kind of hard to run when it feels like you have a knife in your stomach and you don’t know how to stop the bleeding.I dig into what attempts I made to optimize the NextJS App for https://www.starterpacks.net to utilize fewer resources on Vercel (spoiler alert, unsuccessfully), what the usage and costs were, and what I ultimately did to try to stabilize the costs until I can start to get the site earning more than it costs to host.To follow along, you can find me at https://www.ryanhefner.com, follow me on Bluesky @ryanhefner.com (https://bsky.app/profile/ryanhefner.com) and keep up with the show on https://www.allplay.fm and @allplay.fm (https://bsky.app/profile/allplay.fm).Help yourself, while supporting the show, by trying some of the services that I use, and highly recommend:Transistor FM (https://transistor.fm/?via=allplay)Fathom Analytics (https://usefathom.com/ref/EKONBS)#buildinpublic #podcast #startups #webdevelopment  #webdesign #bluesky #indiedev #bootstrapping #indiehackers","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/LYyRvriSni7Y1t-MJA9HyD38LZglGYnuZZf4lLm4Sj4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lOTQz/M2Q0OGRmNTU5MWM3/Y2M4YzM3NzRmNTBk/YWIxNC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
