Title: Hey HN,<p>It will be more of a &quot;How I released my API without managing a website, servers, users, and payments. With 0$ up-front cost&quot;<p>Over the past year, I have come up with a plan of how I could release my own product without having to deal with managing users and&#x2F;or dealing with payment processing.<p>It is a 3 steps procedure:
1. Make an API that solves a problem
2. Deploy it with a serverless architecture
3. Distribute through an API Marketplace<p>That took me about 2-3 days to develop an API using Flask, deploy it via Zappa on AWS, and release through RapidAPI.<p>Source code of API: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kotartemiy&#x2F;extract-news-api" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kotartemiy&#x2F;extract-news-api</a>
