Wow thank you so much for this. I'll be referring to this for things to learn (a lot). I started listening to this AWS podcast and the crazy amount of technology they have that's applicable here. I also listen to a Go podcast and the "throughput? they talk about like 25,000 requests per seconds seems insane to me. And regarding the big companies handling petabytes/hour man insane and probably redundantly backed up too. My concern is cost (as you mentioned) in particular if you have no users yet, what justifies the cost to set all of this up except for the future-mindset of growth (where some companies have failed due to inability to scale). Right now I've just been cheep using 1 VPS but it's good to know the proper deployment design for growth. Dang, so much to learn haha. Thanks.
