Founder, SnapDeploy. $1/day Docker PaaS

About

Indie founder + ex-platform engineer (Spring Boot, AWS, Java). Built SnapDeploy because every PaaS made me feel guilty about side projects I wasn't running 24/7. Currently obsessed with the "deploy → first request" latency gap, AI-fixing broken requirements.txt / package.json / Dockerfile builds, and pricing models that don't punish casual usage. DPIIT-recognized | Anthropic Claude for Startups cohort. Launching here Tuesday, June 23 🚀

Building AI-powered build-fix on Bedrock — what worked, what burned

For our PH launch next Tuesday, I want to share the technical bet that's

become our differentiator:
SmartFix when a deploy fails on a broken

requirements.txt / package.json / Dockerfile, an AI reads the build log,

proposes a fix, commits it, and re-runs the build.

Why we priced SnapDeploy at $1/day instead of $5/month — and where I'm still uncertain

Hey everyone Somdip here, founder of SnapDeploy.
We're launching here on June 23.

Quick context: SnapDeploy is a PaaS where you deploy Docker apps for $1 per 24 hours,

with no subscription.
Every other PaaS I looked at Heroku, Railway, Render, Fly charges a $5 7/month minimum just to keep your container running.

The pricing decision that surprised me:

SnapDeploy - Deploy Docker apps for $1/day. No subscription.

Every PaaS charges $5–7/month minimum to keep your container running. SnapDeploy charges $1 for 24 hours — no card, no auto-renewal. Push code from GitHub, we handle builds, SSL, and scaling on AWS. Free tier with 10 deploys/day. AI fixes broken Docker builds.
