News, updates, and insights from the Temps team. Learn about self-hosted deployments, DevOps best practices, and platform announcements.
The self-hosted market hit $19.7B in 2025. We compared Temps, Coolify, Dokploy, CapRover, Kamal, Dokku, and Portainer on what each one actually replaces in your stack.
Vercel's per-seat pricing adds up fast. We tested Railway, Render, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, Fly.io and 4 more — real 2026 costs and migration steps included.
Heroku entered sustaining mode in Feb 2026: no new features, no new enterprise contracts. We rated 9 alternatives on migration difficulty, pricing, and what you actually get.
FullStory's enterprise pricing starts at $99+/mo and scales by session count. We compared Hotjar, LogRocket, Smartlook, PostHog, Mouseflow, and one free option.
Coolify disclosed auth bypass and RCE vulnerabilities (CVSS 9.4-10.0) in Jan 2026. We audited Temps, Dokploy, CapRover, Dokku, and Kamal on security, features, and cost.
The average dev team spends $300-600/mo on SaaS: Vercel, Sentry, Plausible, FullStory, Pingdom, SendGrid, and more. We self-hosted all 8 categories and cut 70-90%.
Plausible gives you pageviews but not funnels, session replay, or error tracking. We compared Umami, Fathom, Simple Analytics, Matomo, PostHog, Pirsch, and one all-in-one option.
We tracked the same app on Sentry and 8 alternatives for 30 days. Self-hosted options like GlitchTip cost 70-90% less. One bundles error tracking with analytics and replay for free.
Coolify v4 is free to self-host with 52K GitHub stars and 280+ templates. But it lacks built-in analytics, error tracking, and uptime monitoring — adding those costs $170+/mo.

Not 10x, not 2x. About 30% faster. The gains are in boilerplate, tests, and docs. Architecture and race conditions are still slow. Here's the honest breakdown.

58.5% of searches now end without a click. GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot decide which sites get cited. How they crawl, what they expect, and how to serve clean markdown.
Most platforms have no audit log until compliance demands it. Event schemas, immutable storage, retention policies, and query patterns you'll need for SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
Unsigned webhooks are an open door for attackers. Event types, HMAC signature verification, idempotency, and Slack/Discord integration done securely.
