>2-3 miniPCs, cloudflare, tailscale, and k3s can save (possibly tens of) thousands on SaaS products, and would probably scale you to a company of dozens AND host your product.

outline a simple real world system to illustrate?

Sure!

Get a few Beelink SER5 or SER9's, install Nextcloud to cover the files, document editing, communications (to save on Microsoft 365). Then you can have Gitea (and gitea actions) for your source code and building (skipping github enterprise), Harbor to host and scan your containers, frappe for HR, etc. Pretty much anything you pay enterprise rates for, you can self-host a version that will get your company from 1 to 100s with minimal extra work. If it's not on https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted, you can probably vibe code it in a couple hours.

I just started to run a k3s cluster with an almost enterprise grade software factory and a few (light) production workloads on a single cheap minipc.
