The main benefit here seems to be smaller and lighter for the same power output.

For context this is the authors website. https://axonlore.com/

So where its fair to say enterprise users buy safety, if he's referring to his own product I would offer the following.

He's in the AI tool space i.e. a better rag. So you're selling to AI developers and developers nearly always go open source first.

If they can't find an open source solution or if they don't even look, they prefer to build it themselves.

For this kind of product most enterprise buyers won't understand its benefits, you have to get the developers interested first.

And finally, in this market, you are 1 prompt away from someone cloning your whole business and calling it openaxon or something like that.

It's a tough time to be a software startup.

That site is everything that's wrong with the internet at the moment.

A dizzying array of adverts and popups.

Developers won't pay for it. I'll pay for hosting begrudgingly and I pay for AI tokens and domain names and that's it.

And every Saas idea can now be copied with this prompt.

Build me an open source clone of -> https://your-saas.com

You need a moat these days more than ever.

Thats true. The reason I like k8s is once you've gone up the learning curve you can apply that knowledge to cloud deployments, on prem, or in this case VPS.

The authors stack left me thinking about how will he re-start the app if it crashes, versioning, containers, infra as code.

I've seen these articles before... the Ruby on Rails guys had the same idea and built https://kamal-deploy.org/

Which starts to look more and more like K3s as time goes on.

Dynamic scaling is not really even available on a single node kubernetes.

I was thinking more of

Running multiple websites. i.e. 1 application per namespace. Tooling i.e. k9s for looking at logs etc. Upgrading applications etc.

When he switches from Kubernetes in the cloud to Nginx -> App Binary -> Sqlite he trades operations functionality for cost.

But, actually you can run Kubernetes and Postgres etc on a VPS.

See https://stack-cli.com/ where you can specify a Supabase style infra on a low cost VPS on top of K3s.

> I bet we will move from CLIs to something else in about 3-6 months.

My bet would be OpenAPI specs. The model will think its calling a cli but we intercept the tool call and proxy it with the oauth credentials.

There are some implementations already out there in open web ui and bionic gpt.

If you look for jobs on linkedin you'll see a lot are posted by recruiters.

Its usually pretty easy to get one to call you and they can give you an idea about the market.

> All government ministers' pay, including that of the mayors, should be tied to that of nurses for the next 100 years.

A brilliant policy.
