Does it Scale?

Build what you want without the unknowns

Hey Product Hunters! 👋 I'm thrilled to introduce you to the beta version of doesitscale.dev! 🚀

As developers, we understand the importance of selecting the right technologies to build scalable applications. However, comparing pricing, features, and performance across various providers can be a daunting task.

That's why I've been working on doesitscale.dev - to simplify the process of evaluating and comparing popular tech solutions. In this early beta version (v0.1), I'm primarily focusing on comparing the pricing of email and authentication providers, giving you clear insights to help you make informed decisions. But later on, I plan to expand doesitscale.dev to cover other essential services, such as:

- Cloud services like AWS, Cloudflare, Vercel, Render, Google Cloud, Fly.io, etc. - Database providers just to name a few Neon, Turso, Planetscale, MongoDB, Supabase, Firestore, - Payment gateways , Stripe, Paypal, Square - And more to come!

To ensure that doesitscale.dev remains up-to-date and accurate, I've made the algorithms for all the pricing calculations open-source for anyone to edit. This means that users can create pull requests and update these algorithms whenever a service changes their pricing. By taking a crowdsourcing approach, we can collectively maintain the platform and keep it as a reliable resource for the developer community.

As I continue to develop doesitscale.dev, I want to ensure that we're providing the most valuable insights for developers and business owners like you. That's where I need your help!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the following:

1. What features would you like to see on doesitscale.dev to help you make informed decisions when evaluating tech solutions? Some ideas I've thought of : - A way for users to rate services based on developer experience, pricing features, and can see how the overall developer community views and service and to visualize those tradeoffs. Maybe a review system could be helpful? - Web crawlers on pricing pages of the services to ensure pricing is accurate and up to date - Historical pricing data and notifications for upcoming pricing changes (so you're always in the loop) - Some kind of easy to use pricing calculator to easier compare the services

2. Is there any specific providers or services you would like to see on the platform?

That's all!

Your feedback will directly shape the future of doesitscale.dev and help us create a platform that addresses the real needs and pain points of developers.

So please, take a look at this early beta version, and let me know what you think! Your input is incredibly valuable as we work to build a tool that simplifies tech decision-making for all of us.

Thanks for being part of this journey! 🙌 Happy building! 🛠️
