We are suddenly seeing massive build times compared to the past where they were just a fraction. Now they are 90% of the total compute use, even when our traffic has increased and our release cycles have gone slower.

Anyone having a similar issue? I also see Vercel pricing for the different compute changes has changed. We are on pro. We pay somewhere between 60 to 100 per month based on compute.

I’m a SWE professionally. I’ve been programming since 2010. Since almost 2 years I’ve been coding a lot on my free time and vibe coding aka agentic engineering . It’s wild recently o only feel like throwing my computer away when I’m staring at the screen and default to be outdoors and read books on my free time and abandoned / put on hold a bunch of things I was building . Obviously at work I can’t do that but I’m just tired of code and computers and AI… anyone has experienced this?
I’m happy I’m returning to sleep better and attending life offline

Edit 1: thanks all lots of good recommendations and reminders, for slowing down, reduce the multitasking clutter, spend time outdoors, meet-up with people, code more with my bare hands and brain.

Hey 👋
I asked this question 2.5 years ago, and have been discussing this offline and over other channels and SoMe for a while now. there have been mixed feelings.

The ones who are automatically sceptical: Some pushed back with arguments such as “BigTech has the power the technology the capacity the know how the best practices etc. BigTech is the most efficient way. AI hype forces their hand into big compute clusters”

The ones in favour: mixed stacks , hacks , early products and layers start to pop, a lot of open source and cool stacks are starting to populate git and other channels, a lot of startups are looking into this space . People are more concerned about surveillance and repression at global scale powered by BigTech and direct access to our data. Providers like Infomaniak which are the Swiss ethical cloud went into stewardship governance model to avoid ever private interests changing the policies around hosting and data privacy.

My 2 cents I’ve been since the start of this quest (about 3 years now) able to serve multiple domains with little machines like Raspberry Pis and MacMinis, while also have moved enterprise products hosted with Azure into tiny dedicated VPS in regional providers (Infomaniak, Hetzner) disconnecting them almost entirely from Big Tech at the code base, runtime and DB level. I have also been able to run LLMs locally and directly in the browser

And have been working on a distributed compute and sovereign open source layer of something like that which Vercel should be in terms of computing costs and transparency. Not going to throw the commercial here but worth noting that Vercel is tied to bigtech due to their business model and the huge debt many Silicon Valley startups carry towards their investors.

Where I haven’t been able to bypass BigTech entirely

> partially emailing (send grid and Gmail ) although i implemented recently a solution powered entirely with Infomaniak
> DNS (from Azure to Cloudflare)
> code base maintenance (GitHub)

What is your perspective today? Have you found a way out into self hosting which is powering your personal workflows or organisational workflows or even yours or third internet wide products?

🙌🏼 looking forward to reading the discussion

The title says it everything
I’m migrating the hosting of a project built with next js from Vercel into a vps and looking for a way to replace the blob storage

Options could be to even use the same VPS as the storage as the project is regional enough cloud blob storage is an overkill imo

Any serious engineering recommendations?

I just launched to product hunt, and I'm curious to see where this journey will go.

Wooven offers deployments in the DX you may know from tools like vercel, but with a strong focus on sovereignty and decentralisation. Right now you can deploy via agents on any of your favorite coding AI tools, while instructing them with a prompt which you can copy directly from our page , and they'll handle the rest for you.

This launch includes an open source github repository called wooven-publish

You can look at the real life working demo over producthunt launch page, to get an idea how you can use this

looking forward for your feedback! you can search for it directly over producthunt and drop your feedback

Hey 👋 I’ve been recently working on a kind of impossible Internet battle project which is aiming to challenge the paradigm of big data centers as the only model towards the future of cloud computing

Project is called wooven

And among the things built around this project I am testing the potential and possibilities, and an interesting workflow became possible. With a simple bash command which your coding agents can learn as a SKILL and a token which gets stored locally in your machine or the venv where your agent lives, your agents can simply make a transaction with wooven and your project gets immediately deploy to the internet and you get a a link for it.

Currently wooven is wiping the links after 24 hours, but eventually when the participation of the community in a mesh network grows, links can be hosted longer or indefinitely.

Custom domains and so on is in the roadmap.

In this repo you can find the open source bash development and some examples of vibe coded projects I added as a starter, which include some video games and even a webGPU running llm application, which uses a tiny llama model and features a tamagotchi travelling the world while you get asked geography questions by the llm.
