Railway + Supabase Operational Review
Operational review of WICHI's backend on Railway and Supabase, covering real-world incidents like connection pooling and migration conflicts, plus criteria for infrastructure migration.
Live data and PMF logs from AI products built and operated firsthand — WICHI (GEO SaaS), Make Me Unicorn (OSS), Self-Tuning Loop, and Minbook itself, with decisions recorded chronologically.
Less code, more decision: 9-Bucket framework design, multi-engine architecture transitions, integrating security, observability, and payments — the operational stages tutorials skip.
Written for solo builders shipping their own SaaS or OSS, and PMs and founders wanting to see solo-operation limits and possibilities together. Live numbers and one-line decision notes share the same page.
