Fair question.
We don't run on one yet -- we are at the stage where we are expanding my understanding of the cloud service offerings and am curious what is available with good reputation.
SaaS is at whiteboard phase; where we invest our engineering time will be important as we recognize the issues of lock-in for something like AWS.
- verdverm 5y agoI wouldn't worry about being cloud agnostic, just pick one. My recommendation is GCP because it takes less engineering effort. No matter what, you will have vendor specific code, but you can minimize it. The more important question you might ponder is how to validate the idea is something people both want and will pay for, before investing time & money in a good cloud setup. If you select smaller providers, expect to spend engineering time reproducing existing products in the big ones. Saving money on VM hourly rates often costs you more elsewhere. The only time I recommend worrying about multiple clouds is when you have a "deploy to your cloud" product and strategy.
