I don't understand why developers use cloud for bootstrapping/side project. Digital Ocean is all you need $5 droplet + $15 Postgres or even better $7 dyno on Heroku.
- com2kid 6y agoI built my startup on a combo of DO and Firebase. If I knew something was going to take more than a couple dozen milliseconds to run, it was built on the DO droplet. Why would I pay by the CPU second for something that is taking a lot of CPU seconds? That billing model doesn't make sense. For my super quick REST endpoints, yeah, all on Firebase, the convenience of writing + deploying makes it an obvious win. (Unless something goes wrong, debugging Firebase functions is not fun...)
