Most of small to mid sized applications are really happy running on VPS like Linode or Digital Ocean, especially if we are talking about CRUD apps. There are multiple pros of those setups: 1. They are cheap: $10-$20/month will be ok for smallish scale/b2b application. (You can always add more nodes later if you want). 2. As your application grows, it is much easier to migrate to another VPS or dedicated HW. 3. It is much easier to switch to cloud platform like AWS than trying to change provider or migrate into your hardware. Platform lock is real. I do hear that managing your own servers is hard, but you can totally do it after reading couple of articles or paying couple hundred dollars to some competent sysadmin.
