"We expected our cloud costs to be $5K this month. They came in at $18K." I heard this from a fellow founder, and I immediately recognized the pain. Unpredictable cloud costs were a problem I lived through as an engineering leader in my previous roles. That moment led me deep research that led me to a realization that most of the cloud infrastructure was built for large enterprises with unlimited budgets, not individuals launch their own projects or small startups trying to scale efficiently. A founder doesn't have time to worry about fluctuating cloud bills or DevOps complexities. So, I planned to build ComputeSphere, a cloud computing platform for lean product development. ComputeSphere was designed specifically for individuals and startups, with predictable pricing and no surprise costs. With ComputeSphere, you can plan and predict your burn rate with confidence. Cloud bills shouldn't require a finance degree to understand. Here’s how we’re solving the problems we experienced firsthand:  → Fixed pricing: $15/user + clear, modular compute costs that scale with your needs.  → No DevOps headaches: Automated deployment and infrastructure management, so you can focus on building your product, not managing infrastructure.  → Scalable resources: Whether you are building an app, running data models, or launching a product, ComputeSphere scales with you—without the unpredictable costs.  → Built-in security and monitoring: We have made sure your cloud infrastructure is not only reliable but secure—because every startup needs that peace of mind. With ComputeSphere, I have built a platform that grows with you, providing the flexibility and simplicity that startups need. Check it out here computesphere . com P.S. What’s the biggest challenge you face when scaling your cloud infrastructure?

In my 15-years as an engineering leader, I needed a spreadsheet, a calculator, and a prayer just to estimate our monthly cloud bill. Even with all that, we were still constantly surprised by random spikes in usage. And this happens pretty commonly across startups and small business. The unpredictability was unsustainable. It took valuable time away from our core mission: building and scaling. That’s why I designed ComputeSphere’s pricing to be dead simple, transparent, and predictable, solving the very issue I and many other small business faced:  $15 per user, per month for access! That's it! Choose your compute plan based on your needs: • FLX: $12/month for lightweight apps • PWR: $14/month for memory-optimized workloads • QNT: $32/month for balanced performance • MAX: $56/month for compute-intensive apps That’s it. No sudden price hikes, no hidden fees, and no confusing usage-based billing. I've been on the other side as a technical leader watching budgets spiral. I know startup runway is too precious for billing surprises. Check it out here: computesphere . com P.S. How much time do you spend managing infrastructure costs each month?

I still remember the day the cloud bill came in at 3x what we expected at the tech company where I was leading engineering. The shock was not just from the numbers; it was from how difficult it was to predict and manage cloud costs. That was the moment I decided: "There has to be a better way." This is why I founded ComputeSphere. Because I knew startups like mine were getting hit hard by unpredictable cloud costs. The system was broken. Startups were forced into complex, enterprise-grade infrastructure that was not designed for agility or simplicity. I wanted to build the cloud platform I wished existed during my time managing unpredictable infrastructure costs. After 8 months of late nights and continuous iterations, we have created ComputeSphere—a cloud platform that eliminates DevOps headaches, helps you scale without unpredictable costs, and gives you predictable pricing. It offers: → Automated scaling with no need for manual configuration. → Built-in security and real-time monitoring to reduce management overhead. → $15 per user, plus fixed compute costs, means you can finally plan your burn rate with confidence. My mission is simple: help you build, scale, and innovate with confidence—without worrying about cloud bills spiraling out of control. After 8 months of building, we are finally ready to share it with fellow founders. Would love your thoughts! P.S. Check it out at computesphere . com

After 14 months of development, countless late nights, and continuous conversations with founders, I'm proud to finally share what we have built. We are introducing ComputeSphere—a cloud platform designed specifically for startups and growing small businesses. Throughout my career, I have seen the same frustrations faced by startups and small businesses time and time again: → Unpredictable cloud costs that make it impossible to forecast burn rates accurately → Complicated deployments that slow down development cycles and take focus away from innovation → Lack of real support from providers who don’t understand the constraints of a startup These pain points were the driving force behind ComputeSphere—a cloud platform designed to solve these issues head-on. • Predictable pricing: $15/user + fixed compute costs (no surprises) • Modular “Spherlets” that scale with your needs, without billing anxiety • No DevOps headaches: Deploy in minutes, not months • Built-in security & monitoring: Because I know you don’t have time to worry • Human support: My team understands startup constraints and is here to help. By providing startups with the ability to scale quickly, predict costs, and deploy seamlessly, we have made cloud hosting as simple and efficient as it should be.

The cloud bill arrived, and it was a shocker. Our staging environment costed more than production because someone forgot to turn off a service. Our bill tripled the month after a successful product launch. (Success shouldn't come with a penalty, right?) I wasted countless hours trying to decipher line items that made no sense. I'm guessing many technical leaders and founders have similar stories. This is exactly why I built fixed pricing into ComputeSphere from day one—to put an end to this chaos. Cloud pricing shouldn’t be unpredictable, and cloud infrastructure shouldn’t require a spreadsheet to understand. That’s why we made fixed pricing part of our core offering from day one. With ComputeSphere, your cloud costs are as predictable as your office rent. If you are tired of navigating cloud bills that throw your financial planning off track, it’s time for a change.
