Baseten's September 2026 acquisition of Blaxel turns vendor-specific sandbox behavior into migration risk. A five-point portability checklist plus rent-vs-own math: $0.17/hr rented vs ~$0.009/sandbox-hour on a $50/mo Hetzner box.
Buildpacks Is Cutting Kaniko Out of Your git-push Pipeline
Cloud Native Buildpacks compiles kaniko's executor into the lifecycle binary behind every git-push build — and the plan to cut it out runs through a fork-hop, grype reachability triage, and a separate extender binary. What the extraction means for your builder's CVE surface and provenance story.
Depot Raised $10M to Kill Slow Builds: What It Still Sells a Team That Owns Its Machines

A May 2026 Hacker News thread's verdict on Docker Compose in production, turned into a three-gap accounting: which of zero-downtime deploys, self-healing, and multi-host have cheap single-host fixes, where the real ceiling sits, and what a Cluster-API-managed fleet closes.

Flavio Copes re-checked every hosting price in September 2026 — Hetzner up 37.5%, Netlify free capped at 20 deploys, Vercel flat-rate bandwidth. A row-by-row read of the indie decision tree, plus the self-hosted PaaS row the guide omits.
Heroku Is Frozen, the Guide Says Fly.io: What 'Regions Plus a Great CLI' Costs on Rented VMs vs. Two Hetzner Boxes
FlightFormation's October 2026 guide steers teams off frozen Heroku toward Fly.io's regional VMs and excellent CLI: a three-way priced teardown of the same two-region reference stack on Heroku, Fly.io, and owned Hetzner hardware, with the Postgres, egress, and region-count sensitivities that decide between per-unit meters and flat boxes.
Gateway API v1.5 Is Stable: What a Self-Hosted Fleet Gains by Leaving Ingress Behind, and What the Move Costs
Gateway API v1.5 and v1.6 graduated TLS passthrough, CORS, mTLS, and TCP/UDP routing to stable while ingress-nginx went unpatched. A self-hosted fleet's migration guide: an annotation mapping table, a worked Ingress-to-HTTPRoute rewrite, and the real cost of the move.
