First of all: Yes, I am trying to get the word out about my new product, and I want to be honest about that. Do know that I genuinely think this can be useful for all of you, and Iβd really appreciate your feedback!
Anyway, getting a website ready for scale can be tricky. Caching is hard, cloud providers can be overwhelming, and itβs not the work you like to be doing. I know, Iβve been there π
Thatβs why Iβve built Silvan Bolt. It sits in between your domain and your server (which can be a simple and cheap VPS, or whatever youβre used to). The pages and assets of your website will be cached automatically, even before the first user hits your site, making everything lightning fast.
Yes, this is kinda like CloudFlare, but much simpler and with a different mission: This is all about the environment. From every euro we make, half of it goes to planting trees and other planet-restoring-initiatives.
At this point Iβm hosting it the Netherlands, because thatβs where Iβve found the most green provider I know. Running on renewable energy, and reusing the heat from servers to warm public buildings and water for showers. If you know anything like this elsewhere in the world Iβm very interested in that! But at this point Iβm looking for devs in the EU, to start things out.
So, would this be something youβd use? What are the results of the test on the page? Is your site getting much faster and is everything still working properly? Please let me know βΊοΈ
