Cockroachdb is a common solution here.


It's not Postgres, it only speaks Postgres dialect.


but it is not pgsql, and doesn't have drop in compatibility..


Hey, great idea! We should probably make our internal onboarding journeys public like you’re suggesting so that self hosting users can benefit from them :)


Thanks for the kind words! Would love to have you in our Slack. We can help you get set up.

What alternatives are you looking at?


Support for Resend (https://resend.com/) would be appreciated!


Resend founder here. Nice to see a self-hosted alternative for Mailchimp in the world. Would love to see support for Resend on Dittofeed :)


Since the application for Dittofeed is similar to Mailchimp, which would be newsletters mostly and not transactional email, is that compatible with your primary business case at Resend? From what I can tell, Resend is mostly focused on transactional email and not on mass email messages such as newsletters, which is what I see as what Dittofeed is sharing with their Mailchimp alternative. If you're open to newsletters, let me know, and I'll give it a switch from Sendgrid!


We're definitely open to newsletters :)


Hey, love what you guys have done with React Email <3


Great idea :)


A great self-hosted pairing might be Postal https://github.com/postalserver/postal


Thank you! The main difference is that intend to support multiple communication channels include mobile push, sms etc


Looks like they do more than just email too [1], including SMS.

Great idea!


Hello! We're not an email service provider ourselves (where one would normally configure email domain/ip settings), but we allow users integrate their own ESP accounts. We currently support sendgrid, and in the near term future we plan to support AWS SES.


I see! I understand you're not a email service provider, but "self-hosted" gave me the impression you actually handle sending the emails (via SMTP or whatever) as well as the management around the lists, not just outsourcing the email sending part to a hosted 3rd party. Seems I was mistaken :)


We plan to support plain SMTP as well, so that users can be self hosted end to end if they want.


Wow this is a really cool idea. I feel like in the future we're going to have more of this kind of stuff, and move away from the idea that product engineering, and infrastructure engineering can be cleanly separated.

Infrastructural concerns are going to have to be embedded deeply into product development and vice versa.


Really cool. I wonder how much of this is going to make its way into GKE for us plebs.


Congrats on the launch! Elasticsearch/Splunk/Datadog, are expensive beasts. It's great to see an opensource alternative!
