Ask HN: How do you decide your cloud provider
I've engaged with a number of startups over the years (as well as one's I've been part of) and the answer to the above question is either:
- it's what we know
or
- it provides what's needed
My specific question is more around choosing one of the larger "clouds" - heroku, digital ocean, azure, aws, google, etc.
Do cost, features, etc. play into it?
- agentsmith 10y agoI just picked a cheap one and moved whenever i had a problem. Been with linode for years now.
- recmend 10y agoPrice efficiency, Stability, Optimized for developer time and not operational costs, aka capabilities. I've used AWS, GCloud, DO in production and Heroku for side projects.
