Here’s the minimal architecture I use for Nexpend and almost every other SaaS/micro-SaaS or web software as a solopreneur.

I aim to keep it simple and straightforward, avoiding overengineering, especially in the early stages.

💰 Costs: • Cloudways: $11/mo (scales as you grow). • Elastic Email (Cloudways Add-on): $0.10/1k emails/mo. • Cloudflare Domain registration: $11/yr. • Zoho Mail: $12/yr for unlimited domains. • Carrd: $49/yr for 25 sites (hosting all my landing pages here). • Paddle: 5% + 50¢ per checkout transaction. • Pirsh Analytics: $6/mo for 50 sites. • All the other services are used on the free plans at $0.
