A practical guide to building a full EU-based infrastructure stack for under €10/month, aimed at bootstrappers who want to avoid US hyperscalers. The only fixed cost is a Hetzner VPS at ~€7/month (4 vCPUs, 8GB RAM). The guide covers free-tier EU providers for transactional email, newsletters, analytics (Simple Analytics, TelemetryDeck), monitoring (UptimeRobot, Healthchecks.io), forms (Tally, Formbricks), authentication (Hanko with passkeys), and payments (Mollie, Creem). The stack is GDPR-friendly, scales smoothly as usage grows, and avoids putting a card on file with US cloud providers before achieving product-market fit.
