In Episode 87 of The Indie Hacker Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into the story of a solo developer who reached $10,000 monthly recurring revenue by building a lightweight API monitoring tool specifically for other SaaS companies. They break down how the founder identified a pain point from his own experience as a developer, launched a bare-bones MVP on Twitter with just a few lines of code, and grew to 200 paying customers without any venture capital. The hosts discuss pricing strategy, the surprising power of selling to technical buyers who value reliability over flashy features, and why this approach works especially well in 2026 when many SaaS teams are looking to cut costs by replacing expensive enterprise monitoring suites with smaller, focused tools. They also explore the trade-offs of building for developers versus general consumers, and the role of transparent uptime stats as a marketing asset. This episode offers concrete lessons for any indie hacker considering a B2B SaaS product in the dev tools space. #IndieHacker #SaaS #SoloDeveloper #APIMonitoring #DeveloperTools #B2BSaaS #Bootstrapping #10KMRR #ProductLedGrowth #MicroSaaS #TechnicalFounders #RevenueGrowth #UptimeMonitoring #SideProject #NoVentureCapital #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
