Building a Production Homelab: How We Cut SaaS Costs and Regained Control

How Solaris Software replaced thousands of dollars in monthly SaaS spend with a self-hosted infrastructure platform powered by Proxmox, Kubernetes, Coolify, and Infrastructure as Code — and why AI made it possible without a dedicated DevOps team.

Key outcome

Our recurring infrastructure spend dropped by roughly 70%. We can provision a new client environment in under ten minutes. Testing environments now match production exactly because they run on the same platform. Most importantly, we own our stack: no surprise pricing changes, no forced migrations, and no data leaving our network unless we choose to.
