A simple DIY Heroku replacement to keep your hosting costs down

Yeah, minikube is just for trying K8s out. PWS looks interesting, but, as with other managed/cloud offerings, it's much more expensive than a dedicated server (50ish EUR/mo for a 64 GB RAM i7).

For my side-projects, where I am cost-sensitive, I think the best solution would be a dedicated server with something like Dokku. It would just be nice if the "something" could be an industry standard.

I think it's hard to split the difference. If there was a service using RackHD to spit out cheap bare metal it'd be more doable to run on top of that, I think.
