The Atelier deployment advisor — where to host frontend, backend, database, and workers, with real cost expectations. Load when choosing hosting, estimating costs, or setting up deploys/CI.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Always produce a monthly-cost table in the plan.

    line 48

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Deploy Advisor

Recommend the cheapest option that meets the requirement; always tell the user the cost BEFORE they choose. Never pay for idle when scale-to-zero exists.

Frontend (static / Next.js)

PlatformCostPick when
Cloudflare Pages/WorkersFree tier generous; paid from $5/mo (pay only when code runs)Default for landing/static + edge SSR; unmetered bandwidth
VercelHobby free; Pro $20/user/moHeavy Next.js features, preview deploys, team workflow
GitHub PagesFreePure static docs/sites

Backend (APIs, SSE/WebSockets, workers)

PlatformCostPick when
Google Cloud RunScale-to-zero; ~free small loadsContainerized API, spiky traffic
Cloudflare Workers/DO$5/mo base; $0.15/M requestsEdge APIs, real-time DO, queues
Oracle Cloud free tier$0 (4 ARM OCPU / 24GB — always free)A real VPS for free; Celery/Redis/Postgres self-host
Hostinger / cheap VPS~$5–10/moFull control, predictable bill
AWS EC2 t3.micro / ECS Fargate~$8/mo+ / per-vCPU-hrTeam already on AWS
Cloudflare TunnelFreeExpose home/VPS backend with zero port-forwarding + DDoS protection

Data & services

Decision rules

  • Landing page → Cloudflare Pages. App with SSR → Vercel or CF Workers.
  • API with few users → Cloud Run (scale-to-zero) or Oracle free VPS + Tunnel.
  • WebSockets/live → Durable Objects or a VPS; NOT serverless functions.
  • Workers/queues (Celery) need an always-on host → VPS or containers, never lambda.
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions → build Docker → push GHCR → deploy hook; frontends auto-deploy from git (Vercel/Pages).
  • Always produce a monthly-cost table in the plan; flag anything metered.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
