Your Deployment Platform Dey Do You Like Mugu
Listen, otondo. How long you go take dey compare deployment platforms like say na marriage you wan do? Three weeks now you don dey read "Vercel vs Netlify vs Railway" think pieces, refreshing Twitter like say answer go fall from sky. Meanwhile your brilliant app idea dey your head dey rot like tomatoes for Nigerian sun.
You know wetin dey pain me? While you dey here dey do maths for deployment costs, your mate don deploy app for Pxxl, don collect first 100 paying users, and don dey plan vacation for Seychelles. But you? You still dey argue with yourself for Discord whether edge functions worth am.
Pxxl go deploy your shit in 90 seconds. I no dey cap. The time wey you take read this fucking paragraph, person don already go live.
You see that Vercel wey everybody dey hype? Dem go charge you $20 monthly for app wey your mama and two friends dey use. Then before you know, you don upgrade to Pro because you "exceed bandwidth limit" — meanwhile na just your portfolio site wey get three visitors per week. Next month, $50 bill. Month after, $150. You go dey there dey wonder which kain jazz be this.
Pxxl no dey do that kind rubbish. Dem get cheap custom domains (like actually cheap, not "cheap for Silicon Valley"), free SSL wey no dey stress you, and pricing wey make sense for people wey dey actually live for Africa. You fit deploy your entire startup for wetin you go use buy shawarma for Item7.
You think say you smart abi? "Pxxl no get database, I need Supabase and PlanetScale and..." Shut the fuck up. Pxxl get databases. PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB — pick your poison. And e no be those ones wey go charge you $29.99 the moment your table reach 1000 rows.
Everything dey one place. Your frontend, your backend, your database, your custom domain. No need for six different platforms, twelve different logins, and one nervous breakdown when dem all wan collect money same day.
If you check more than 2, my brother, na you be the problem. No be the platform. Na you.
You know how Vercel dey do? You push code, wait small, e go build, wait small, e go deploy, wait small... Pxxl no get time for that slow-motion bullshit. Git push, count to 30, your app don dey live worldwide. From Surulere to Seattle, your users dey load your app sharp sharp.
Edge network wey actually reach Africa? Yes o! Your Lagos users no go dey wait 5 seconds for page load again. Pxxl get servers for strategic locations wey make sense — not just "US East, US West" like say na only Americans dey use internet.
Other platforms go sell you .com domain for $15, $20, some sef $30 yearly. Plus DNS management fee, plus SSL certificate (wey supposed be free), plus "premium support" wey you no even use. Pxxl? Dem get cheap domains — like actually cheap. Plus automatic SSL. Plus DNS wey just work. No hidden charges, no surprise bills, no "premium tier required for custom domains" bullshit.
You fit get yourapp.com, yourapp.ng, yourapp.africa — whatever you want. Set am up in 2 minutes, move on with your life.
Forget those database providers wey go give you "free tier" of 256MB then expect you to upgrade to $50/month the moment your app get traction. Pxxl databases scale sensibly. You dey pay for wetin you dey use, not for what dem think say you go use.
PostgreSQL for your serious backend. MongoDB for your "move fast break things" project. MySQL for your WordPress wey you port to Next.js because you wan feel like senior developer. All of them dey available, all of them dey work, none of them go scam you.
Oga, you think say na only Pxxl fit shutdown? Heroku don shutdown their free tier. Railway don increase price 300%. Even big companies dey fold. Your own na to build your product, get users, make money. If (when) you need to migrate, e go take you one weekend max. Stop using "what if" as excuse to no start.
No, you don't need shit. Wetin you need na users and revenue. You no be Google. You no be Netflix. Your side project wey get 23 users no need Kubernetes cluster. Stop deceiving yourself. Pxxl give you enough control to build anything you want — unless you dey build the next AWS (spoiler: you no dey build the next AWS).
My friend, the future don reach. Pxxl dey use all those fancy technologies under the hood — serverless, edge computing, all the buzzwords you like. But you no need sabi am. You just push code, e just work. That one no be "the future", na basic common sense.
You know wetin be better DX? Your product dey live. Your users dey pay you. You dey chop. That na the best developer experience. Not fancy dashboard wey you go dey admire while broke. Pxxl DX sweet enough — clean dashboard, simple CLI, everything just work. The rest na packaging.
You think say you dey save money by using free tiers and dey patch together 5 different services? Let me show you the real cost:
Time wey you don waste: 3 weeks of "research" = ₦0 revenue
Opportunity cost: Your competitor don launch, don get users, don raise funding
Mental stress: Dey worry about 5 different platform bills instead of building features
Actual money: $0 Vercel + $0 Supabase + $0 Cloudflare = $89 next month when you exceed limits
Pxxl go cost you maybe ₦15k monthly for serious app with database, custom domain, everything. You go sleep well. You go know your exact bill. You go focus on your product, not on platform juggling.
Next.js, React, Vue, Svelte, Astro, SvelteKit, Nuxt — Pxxl go detect am automatically. You no need write config file like say you dey write JAMB.
Your frontend developer push code? Automatic preview URL. Show your client, show your team, show your mama. No need dey merge to main to see wetin e look like.
Add am for dashboard, e reflect immediately. No need redeploy. No need pray. E just work.
No be say "SSL available with Pro plan". Every single deployment get SSL by default. From your preview links to your production domain. Free. Forever.
When your app crash (e go crash, no lie give yourself), you go see clear logs. No need dey play detective. You go see wetin happen, you go fix am, move on.
You deploy bug? One click, you don go back to the working version. Your users no go even notice. You go sweat small, but your app go dey fine.
I beg you, in the name of everything wey holy, stop overthinking this shit. Your app idea no go wait forever. That domain name wey you like? Somebody go buy am tomorrow. Those early adopters wey go test your product? Dem go find alternative.
The difference between you and person wey don succeed no be say dem sabi code pass you. Na say dem sabi ship. Dem no dey wait for perfect platform, perfect design, perfect architecture. Dem dey ship, dey iterate, dey improve.
Pxxl go remove every excuse wey you get:
That's it. No MBA required. No DevOps certification. No sacrifice to cloud gods. Just fucking deploy.
You fit continue dey read comparison articles. You fit continue dey form expert for Twitter. You fit continue dey optimize for "eventually when I scale to 10 million users."
Or you fit use Pxxl deploy your app this weekend, collect your first paying user next week, and actually start the journey wey go lead to those 10 million users.
Your choice. But I don tell you.
Let me paint the picture for you clearly, because I no sure say you dey see am: Right now, as you dey read this, somebody wey no sabi code pass you don deploy their app. E dey live. E dey work. People dey use am. Some sef dey pay for am. You know the difference between you and that person? Dem no send for perfect. Dem just deploy.
You think say Zuckerberg sit down analyze Facebook infrastructure for 6 months before e launch? You think say the Twitter founders dey debate between AWS and Google Cloud? No o. Dem build am, dem throw am online, people start dey use am. Na as dem dey go, na so dem dey improve am. That na the secret wey you dey miss while you dey read Medium articles.
Every single day wey you spend "researching the perfect platform" na one more day your idea no dey help anybody. Na one more day you no dey make money. Na one more day somebody else fit build the same thing, deploy am, and chop your market. Time no dey wait for anybody, and e certainly no dey wait for people wey dey fear to ship.
You know wetin dey funny? Most of the apps wey you dey use today — the ones wey don blow, the ones wey don make their founders rich — most of dem start with the "wrong" stack. Dem start with whatever wey just work at that time. Instagram started on AWS when e no even make sense. Dem no sit down dey compare cloud providers for 3 months. Dem just use wetin dey available, build their product, get users, then later dem fit afford to dey picky.
But you? You dey here dey act like say your todo app need the same infrastructure planning like say na SpaceX rocket. My brother, humble yourself.
Make I tell you wetin go happen if you just use Pxxl deploy your app today:
Week 1: You go deploy am. E go work. You go show your friends. Some go give you feedback. Some go just nod because dem no even understand wetin you build. But e go dey live. For the first time, your idea no go dey only for your head.
Week 2: You go fix the bugs wey your friends find. You go add that one feature wey you been dey think about. You go tweet about am. Maybe 10 people go check am out. 3 of dem go even use am.
Week 3: Those 3 people go tell other people. You go wake up see say strangers don dey use your app. That feeling? E no get part 2. Na em go motivate you to add more features, fix more bugs, actually build the thing wey you been dey plan.
Month 2: You don get maybe 100 users now. Some of dem dey use am every day. You don start to see patterns for how people dey use your app wey you no even plan for. You don pivot small based on real feedback, not your assumptions.
Month 3: You don implement payment. Maybe na $5/month, maybe na ₦2000. E no matter. The first time somebody wey you no know go pay you money for something wey you build? That day you go understand say this thing real. You be founder now, no be just "aspiring entrepreneur."
But you know wetin go happen if you continue dey compare platforms? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Next year this time, you go still dey read "2027 Deployment Platform Comparison" while your app still dey localhost.
I don see am too many times. Brilliant developers wey get brilliant ideas, but dem never ship anything because everything need to be perfect first. The platform need to be perfect. The design need to be perfect. The code need to be perfect. The logo need to be perfect.
You know where all those perfect apps dey now? For their imagination. Meanwhile, person wey build "imperfect" app don collect funding, don hire staff, don dey live the life wey you dey dream about.
That guy wey you dey see for LinkedIn dey post about how e startup don raise $100k? You think say e infrastructure better pass your own? E no better o. But e product dey live. E get users. E get revenue. E get traction. That na wetin investors wan see — not your "perfect architecture" wey never deploy.
You dey prison. The prison na your own overthinking. Every day you dey add more bars to your cell — "I need learn Kubernetes first," "I need understand edge computing," "I need compare 10 more platforms." Pxxl na the key wey fit open that door, but you need collect am.
The platform literally dey solve every excuse wey you don give yourself:
"Deployment too complex" — Pxxl make am simple pass microwave instructions
"I no fit afford enterprise infrastructure" — Pxxl price like say na normal human being you be
"I need database and hosting and domain separately" — Pxxl bundle everything, one bill, no wahala
"What if e no scale?" — When you reach 10,000 users, you go get money to worry about scaling (you no go reach there for localhost)
"I no sabi DevOps" — Good, because you no need am for Pxxl
Every single excuse don die. The only thing wey remain na you. You go do am, abi you go continue dey form?
While you dey here dey calculate say Vercel go cost you $20 and Pxxl go cost you ₦5k, you no dey calculate the real cost. Make I break am down for you:
3 months of "research" = ₦0 revenue
Lost first-mover advantage = Priceless (but your competitor don collect am)
Missed learning opportunity = All the lessons you for learn from real users
Opportunity to build in public = The audience you for don build
Potential investors wey go see your traction = Gone to someone wey actually shipped
Your own confidence as builder = Still shaky because you never really ship anything
You dey save ₦2,000 per month on hosting but you don lose millions in opportunity. You dey wise?
If I fit bring your successful future self — the one wey don make am, wey get users, wey dey collect money — if I fit bring that person come here today, you know wetin e go tell you?
"Just fucking deploy am. I waste 6 months dey think about platforms when I for don use that 6 months get 1000 users and learn wetin actually matter. All those things wey you dey worry about now? Dem no even matter. The real challenges go come from places wey you no even think about. But you no go see those challenges until you deploy. Stop wasting time. Use Pxxl. Ship your thing. Start the real journey."
That na wetin e go tell you. And e go give you hot slap for wasting time.
You dey this junction now. Left side na the same road wey you don dey waka — plenty research, plenty planning, plenty "one day when everything ready." That road long, e boring, and e no reach anywhere.
Right side na different road — Pxxl, deployment, real users, real feedback, real growth. That road rough small, you go stumble, you go fuck up, but e dey actually go somewhere. And the best part? E start today.
The question no be "which platform better?" The question na "which future you want?" You wan be the person wey sabi explain all the deployment platforms but never deploy shit? Or you wan be the person wey actually get product, get users, dey make impact?
I don tire to dey beg you. I don tired to dey explain. The information don dey here finish. You know wetin you supposed do. You just dey fear.
Fear say e no go work. Fear say people no go use am. Fear say you go fuck up. Fear say you no good enough.
But you know wetin? All of that na normal. Every single successful founder been get that same fear. The difference na say dem deploy anyway. Dem feel the fear, dem still press that deploy button.
Pxxl dey wait for you. Your app idea dey wait for you. Your future users dey wait for you (dem just no know yet). The only person wey dey block this thing na you.
So I go ask you one last time: You go deploy am, abi you go continue dey plan?
Because if na plan you wan continue, abeg close this tab, go back to your comparison spreadsheet, add "Pxxl" to row 47, keep analyzing. But if you ready to actually be a founder, to actually ship, to actually start this journey — go to pxxl.app right fucking now.
Not tomorrow. Not next week when you "finish planning." Not next month when you "learn this one last thing." Now. Today. This hour.
Your future self dey beg you. Make the right choice.
Pxxl. Deploy am. Collect money. Repeat.
No be by long grammar. Na by shipping. And if you read reach here and you never deploy, you be the problem. No excuses again.
Your Vercel bill is crying. Your Netlify builds are timing out. Your users are waiting. Just fucking deploy already.
