small teams stuck on Heroku and Render after the price changes
Heroku froze, Render cut hobby egress from 100 GB to 5 GB and force-migrated legacy plans; solo builders on HN report bills up 40–75% and ask what to self-host on. Smallest service: Off-PaaS, the agent moves your app to your own box or usectl in 48 hours and you keep git push, $349 an app. Build: two days. Leads: the named HN commenters. From brief 11.
