> Moreover, given the minimal traffic this web tutorial is targeting — the backend is likely to easily fits the free tier of cloud providers. So, the infrastructure cost will be essentially zero. And you can’t beat zero cost, really.

- tazjin 8y agoHN frontpage traffic is not as high as you might think ... the websites that go down from it are probably just poorly built.
- ForHackernews 8y agoI don't think this setup will go down, but it could certainly end up costing much more than $0.
