You Don’t Need 12 Containers to Ship a Side Project

Self-hosting Supabase means running a dozen containers for what started as ‘I just want auth and a database.’ Instancez collapses that into one binary and one config file — but the real story isn’t the tech. It’s the bet that Supabase’s moat isn’t its infrastructure, it’s developer habit, and that a simpler drop-in replacement can be a correction, not just a clone.

Most Job Queues Are Over-Engineered. Here’s the Proof.

📅 August 3, 2026 📂 AI & Machine Learning

Most job queues are over-engineered for the tasks they actually perform. Zizq is a single-binary, zero-dependency job queue that challenges the assumption that you need distributed infrastructure. Built on LSM-trees and lock-free data structures, it’s fast, durable, and language-agnostic. The real question: have we been scaling for the wrong problem?
