@CodeEdison i'm curious how you handle scaling with free services though

@CodeEdison You can't build anything substantial on a 20dollar subscription

It’s cheaper than ever to start but not to win. That stack gets you to launch for ~$20/month, sure. But it conveniently ignores the real costs: → Time (hundreds of hours) → Distribution (the hardest + often expensive part) → Failed ideas before one works → Opportunity cost of not doing something else

@CodeEdison Railway is a good option for infra too.
