Agree with brandon272.
$250/mo is not a viable business plan.
As much as I'd like to say my time is more valuable, honestly I'd rather save my $250/mo and built out a solution that's cheaper.
For the naysayers, my relatively small apps receive over 300k reqs/day and it's hosted on a much, much cheaper infrastructure. Just remember to cache things where appropriate and you'd be surprised how much $30-40 in server costs can take you.
- ahstilde 11y agoWhat sort of infrastructure?
- drchiu 11y agoBare Metal. I typically use something like OVH's offerings.
- onion2k 11y agoAdding an unnecessary $200/month to your burn rate is silly, but if it'll kill your business then there isn't a viable business model there in the first place. He'd only have needed, say, 10 paying customers to cover his expensive hosting. The fact he couldn't get those first 10 customers is why he failed, not the hosting costs.
