AI Stack for Solo Devs ($50/mo)

A curated, link-heavy tool stack for one-person builders — coding agent, API access, automation, hosting, and observability under $50/month.

One coding agent (Cursor or Claude Code), one API provider (Anthropic or OpenAI), free automation (n8n self-hosted), cheap hosting (Fly.io or Railway), and free observability (Langfuse self-hosted). Total: ~$40–50/mo for a production-capable solo stack.
