Fly.io's Second Depot Builder Outage in Two Months: What Renting Your Build Fleet Really Costs
Fly.io's September 15 Depot builder outage was the second remote-build failure in two months — and the eighth in a year. A ledger of every incident, the dollar math of rented build minutes versus an owned BuildKit box, and what fleet-local builds change.
GitHub Cut CI Prices 39%, Then Tried to Tax the Runners You Own — and Reversed in 24 Hours
GitHub cut hosted runner prices up to 39% in January 2026, then postponed a $0.002/minute charge on self-hosted runners after a one-day revolt. The full rate math, a worked $120-vs-$5 hosted comparison, and what the reversal teaches any PaaS pricing its own builds.
Heroku-20 Is Dead and Heroku Is Frozen: Rebuild Your Stack With pack build Before You Migrate
Heroku-20 can't deploy and Heroku's roadmap is over — reproduce your frozen build locally with pack build and Heroku's own CNB builder, fix the five classic-buildpack-isms that break outside Heroku's base image, and carry a portable OCI image to your next platform.
Heroku's Limits Are Now Permanent: The 30-Second Timeout, Daily Restarts, and AWS-Only Regions Your Bill Can't Fix
Heroku's 30-second timeout, daily dyno restarts, and two-region AWS-only map are now permanent properties, not roadmap gaps. We map each frozen limit to the workload it breaks — and what owning your machines restores.
Heroku's Freeze, Six Months In: What 'Still Running' Costs and Where the Refugees Landed
Six months after Salesforce froze Heroku feature development, we price the cost of staying against Railway, Render, and Fly.io — and map where migrating teams actually landed.
A $10 Hetzner VPS Hosts a Dozen Small Projects Where Managed PaaS Costs $50-100: Auditing the Math
A $10 Hetzner VPS really can host a dozen small projects for about $11-14 a month against $50-104 managed — but the 5-10x gap assumes free ops time, single-box risk, and one machine forever. A receipt-by-receipt audit with breakeven math and the second-machine breakpoint.
Hetzner's deprecated Field Dies November 2: A Pre-Flight Audit for CAPH, Terraform, and Homegrown Fleet Tooling
Hetzner removes the deprecated field from its Images, Server Types, and Load Balancer Types API responses on November 2, 2026. This pre-flight audit maps every affected surface to its replacement and shows CAPH, Terraform, and homegrown fleet tooling exactly what to check before the silent zero-values start.
Hetzner's Warsaw PoP and the GEX45: What Changes — and Doesn't — for a CAPH Fleet
Hetzner's Warsaw PoP improves Eastern-European peering but adds no region to target, while the €214/month GEX45 puts Blackwell GPUs on dedicated boxes CAPH can only adopt through Robot inventory. The numbers and the operator playbook for a Hetzner-pinned fleet.
HPA Scales to Zero in Kubernetes v1.37: The End of the Always-On Replica (and the One Piece You Still Have to Build)
Kubernetes 1.37 graduates HPA scale-to-zero to beta, so idle tenant services can drop their last replica with no add-on — but HTTP workloads still need an activator. The worked cost math and a git-push PaaS adoption playbook.
