That's good to know. I was contemplating going with them for my next project. AWS it is then!
The only problem I see with AWS is the configuration overhead. Want storage? Well, we have a separate service for that! Now you have to understand the pricing, the API, etc. just to integrate it into your stack.
I completely understand how this modular approach helps with scaling, but when starting out it just feels like way too much overhead, especially for a single dev like me.
- eropple 10y agoIt can certainly feel like a lot of overhead, but in many ways I think it's the "eat your vegetables" part of really understanding what you're building and, through the development of your infrastructure, figuring out where your pain points lie. I do some advisory stuff for students and bootstrapping startups that are looking to work in cloud environments. Feel free to drop me an email (in my profile) if you'd like to chat.
