Don't you need to run everything in bare metal to effectively leverage microVMs? AFAIK, unlike containers, you can't efficiently run microVMs on cloud VM instances.

I've been working on server provisioning and application deployment tool for a while now, it's my hobby project that I haven't shared much and it is still in the "polishing" state.
Congrats on the launch, really nice product! How does this differ from existing solutions like hasura or similar?
Yes! PHP + Laravel combo is an amazing recipe for building web projects quickly.
I've been building https://serverfluent.com on a side. No PMF yet, but I'm planning to go harder on the marketing side soon since the market is already validated as there are a couple of well established competitors. Happy to chat about this nonetheless!
I have been tinkering about the idea of building open source disqus alternative for few months now. I guess I missed the train already:D Do you have any plans to monetise this?
I have yet to make my first dollar online from my saas side project. But one thing that I am trying out right now is SEO. It might take some time until you start seeing results. But if your saas is solving a problem for your target audience, you can try to create high quality content for that audience.
+1 on that. I recently had to write a small web app that has to do some data processing and interact with database on request. We chose go for this because it was faster than php for this one particular data intensive task. I liked working with go, but frameworks like rails, laravel or django have a huge advantage in terms of developer productivity when compared to go.
As a php and golang developer I would say if you are starting out and want to see results quickly - try ruby on rails. Ruby is dynamically typed interpreted language, you won't need to recompile every time you make a change and learning curve should be more approachable than rust or go.
http://saasinspire.com/ it's a list of saas inspiration. Right now there are only design listings of successful saas companies, however I plan to make this project as a great resource for developers and designers to create saas products. It will include various interesting articles, design ideas, tools, case studies, etc.
Thank you! Right now I haven't planned what kind of information exactly I am going to provide for subscribers yet. However, I am thinking about creating some useful information about saas product creation not only from design perspective, but also from development, maybe update subscribers about new listings added (Although I think this would be little bit bland), also there are some ideas about growth case studies. So there are a lot of things and I will try to experiment and see what people who subscribe really like.
