Supademo: Koushik Hits $1K MRR in 6 Months with 60 Paying Customers

  1. 8

    Wow. Authentic story and it's no small feat to hit the $1K MRR in 6 months. Congratulations!!

    By the way what made the founder pick PlanetScale MySQL database? Never heard of it but the Free plan looks too generous with 1 billion reads for free.

      Thank you for your kind words, @upenv

      PlanetScale was recommended in one of the Vercel blogs. Researched more and found out it's from a great team. So went with that for Supademo, so far, soo good!

        Nice to hear that. I am more into using Supabase and Firebase but yes PlanetScale seems too good. Will check it out.

        1. 1

          Firebase is an awesome alternative as well. Have always used it in my side projects (can't beat the free tier, simplicity) but PlanetScale is awesome as well!

    Great story and this is a good example of a good founder-market fit. Makes me feel excited about my own product journey 😛

      What product are you building??

      1. 1

        I'm currently working on a few different things, in the validation stage and plan to see what sticks.

        Focusing on tools for web designers/developers and agencies - I run a design and development firm and we're trying to tackle some of our own pain points.

          Nice. We have a few agencies using Flezr.com for their end customers to build data based websites.

    @koushikmarka Why Digital Ocean hosting over Vercel for a NextJS app? (I know this is a weirdly specific question, but I've been deliberating over a similar decision lately.)

    1. 1

      Hey @ryanjd,

      1. I had DigitalOcean credits 😎
      2. I like the option of more control and configuration of the server.

      What are you building? I love to check it out.

      1. 1

        Thanks for the response.

        Currently working on www.driftfeed.com - a platform for people to share travel guides / itineraries. It's still a WIP, but early feedback is welcome.

    I'm wondering for startups, does the payments go to your personal bank account?
