Heya, Disco is the open source PaaS I've been working on with my friend Antoine Leclair.

Lots of conversation & discussion about self-hosting / cloud exits these days (pros, cons, etc.) Happy to engage :-)

Cheers!

Just to be aware when you say "Even with all 6 environments and other projects running, the server's resource usage remained low. The average CPU load stayed under 10%, and memory usage sat at just ~14 GB of the available 32 GB."

The load average in htop is actually per CPU core. So if you have 8 CPU cores like in your screenshot, a load average of 0.1 is actually 1.25% (10% / 8) of total CPU capacity - even better :).

Cool blog! I've been having so much success with this type of pattern!
