Building products.
Running the lab they live on.
Indonesian programmer. Day-to-day full-stack on Laravel + React, plus a weekend habit of bare-metal infra: a fleet of Dell R620 + R710 in a local lab that hosts everything I ship — including the AI SaaS ClipFlow.

Home lab — 6 Dell servers, one wildcard cert
2× Dell R620 (Proxmox + 8 VMs) and 4× Dell R710 (Ubuntu workers) running every product I ship, plus the CI/observability stack that keeps them honest.

The lab
Most engineers my level have never touched a server they could pick up. Mine sit in a rack I built. Cost-per-deploy is closer to electricity than AWS.
01
Bare-metal first
2× Dell R620 with Proxmox host 8 production VMs, 4× R710 split workers + storage + backups. All workloads run here before they touch a cloud bill.
02
Self-hosted everything
Nginx reverse proxy + wildcard cube-x.dev cert, Docker compose for every service, GitLab + Prometheus + Grafana + Loki side-by-side with the apps they monitor.
03
Cloud only when it has to be
Cloudflare R2 for object storage (cheap egress), Vertex AI for LLM inference. Everything else: my own metal, my own ops.

A pnpm monorepo for an AI SaaS — what worked, what didn't
Notes after 9 months running ClipFlow as a 4-app + 3-package pnpm + Turbo monorepo. The good, the awkward, and the things I'd skip next time.

Self-hosting an AI SaaS on a Dell R620
Why I run ClipFlow on second-hand metal in Bandung instead of AWS, and what the year-one cost math actually looks like.
