Hosting: DigitalOcean Emails: Mailchimp (marketing), Sendgrid (transactional) Development: Github, Bitbucket, Trello Payments: Stripe (I've seen people try to cheap out on payments gateways, it's always a big, costly mistake. Choose a good one) I have a question to people using things like CloudFlare, S3 etc. for early stage apps and MVP's: why?

Cloudflare = free/cheap global CDN, free worker, and free WAF. Also: As a member of the Bandwidth Alliance, DigitalOcean waives egress fees to transfer data to Cloudflare, effectively creating a zero-cost data bridge from DigitalOcean to Cloudflare's global network.
