Gave Laravel Cloud Managed Queues a shot. The experience is 10/10, but realized for my app we'd need 75 workers to match "current" capacity (which is just webhooks), and it's not worth $200/mo for that functionality. We're priced out of being able to use it. Back to DB queues

@conductor_build Is there a plan to still use Conductor with a Claude subscription?

@sivalabs IMO opensource/local models will become the standard for implementation as the workers, only relying on cloud/expensive models for planning.

Previously I was using AI monthly $20 subscription and the cost is not a problem considering the benefits. But now I am using API Usage Billing and it cost $30 just for 2 hours of usage. I have a gut feeling that sooner or later all providers will go for API Usage based billing. I wonder whether companies can afford this much cost for speed of development?

@jasonlbeggs 100%, just requires a few extra steps early on to establish the pattern (e.g. feature flags)

Jason Beggs@jasonlbeggs·
We've been building the spending limits feature for Laravel Cloud, but instead of shipping one giant PR, we've already shipped 10 PRs in the web app, 2 infra PRs, and have 5 more to go. At least 80% of the code is already in production behind a feature flag and has been tested in different slices. AI makes it easier than ever to ship 20,000 line PRs, but we try to avoid this as much as possible. Shipping in small, incremental PRs using feature flags and backwards compatible changes makes PRs easier to review, makes releases less scary, and gives you the ability to test things internally before launching to users. Once the remaining PRs are finished, we'll turn the feature flag on internally so we can test everything end-to-end before launching to everyone. I’m curious if other teams work in similar ways?

@joshcirre I hope so, I was just considering moving off of it due to cost because a simple VPS is still so much cheaper. The queues improvements might change that for me though.

It’s crazy how much better Cloud is going to get real soon. 👀
Taylor Otwell@taylorotwell

I've been waiting to share this. Huge updates coming soon to Laravel Cloud over the next few weeks... ☁️ • A new $5/month plan. We want Cloud to be accessible to every Laravel developer. Simple as that. • Spend caps. Set a spend cap on your account and we'll either alert you or shut off compute when you hit it. No surprise bills. • True scale-to-zero compute. Hibernation has been around for a while, but we've made wake-up over 10x faster. App, database, and cache wake-up is now measured in milliseconds. Your users won't even notice. • New bot protection rules keep scale-to-zero apps scaled to zero more of the time, cutting your compute spend even further. • Fully managed, auto-scaling queues with observability. We've rebuilt "queue clusters" into a new product: "managed queues". Set a max worker count and we handle the rest. Scales on queue depth, scales to zero when idle, so you're never over-provisioned. Huge thanks to everyone building on Laravel Cloud. Your feedback shaped most of what's above - keep it coming. ❤️

@lydiahallie Cost trackers in Claude CLI show $$$ burn so much more quickly than the subscription leads to believe. There's a reason Claude doesn't show that by default :). This is a significant downgrade, that'll burn through very quickly.

To add some clarity: you don't pay extra. It's the same subscription, same price per month. What's new our sub now covers two separate pools: · Interactive → sub limits, unchanged · Programmatic → new $20–$200 included(!!) credit, metered at API rates

Starting June 15, paid Claude plans can claim a dedicated monthly credit for programmatic usage. The credit covers usage of: - Claude Agent SDK - claude -p - Claude Code GitHub Actions - Third-party apps built on the Agent SDK

Not exactly. SpaceX requires that there be no annoying “portal” to use Starlink. Starlink WiFi must just work effortlessly every time, as though you were at home. Delta wanted to make it painful, difficult and expensive for their customers. Hard to see how that is a winning strategy.

Delta rejected adopting SpaceX's @Starlink on its fleet because it wanted to provide internet connectivity to passengers via the Delta Sync portal, instead of the Starlink-branded portal. Delta has since chosen to partner with Amazon's LEO. This will result in Delta falling behind many of its competitors in offering high-speed WiFi onboard, as many other carriers are already offering or installing Starlink, whereas Amazon's LEO airplane WiFi for Delta is still a couple year away (or more). Satellites currently in orbit: • SpaceX's Starlink: 10,400 • Amazon's LEO: 300 (Delta rejection info according to Ron Baron)

@loyalteams @iamAnish @PlanetScale A challenge I run into with these is that I can get a VPS for $12/mo that runs many sites. This is $12/mo for 2+ domains. The pricing doesn't make sense.

@joncphillips @ignasxv Agreed, a lot of these systems advertise themselves as good for hobby projects, but pricing wise it doesn't work unless you plan to turn it into a small business.

@ignasxv "Most SaaS deploys on serverless" is a stretch. Plenty of indie founders are running on a VPS with a deploy script. Serverless is popular but it's very very far from universal, especially for solo founders trying to keep things simple.

Hot take: SQLite in production is fine for 90% of the SaaS products people are building. Your app doesn’t need Postgres.

@ignasxv @joncphillips Serverless forces additional systems depending on needs. VPS is better in a lot of scenarios, because it's flexible and extendable, especially if you're running multiple sites like that.

@joncphillips This is a loose take most SaaS nowadays deploys on serverless (where sqlite don’t work) So you will need either a separate vps or sqlite cloud provider, and that’s is unnecessary hassle for “90% of SaaS products”. So you might as well just use whatever.
