Is it though? Amazon's Free tier is more than enough to run a small early/proof-of-concept startup. Even ignoring Docker etc, Elastic Beanstalk is literally set and forget platform. There's very little excuse for not running something fault tolerant and modern.
At least, that's how I've stood up the last three startups i've lead engineering at.

- oliyoung 7y agoIt doesn't :) I understand your point, but with that level of technical detail in a post, claiming that "we're just a small startup so we built it ourself" and "you don't know because you've never worked in a startup" feels like .. I don't know .. an excuse?
