But... you do have to think about subscription fees and vendor lock-in. I can boot a Ubuntu server for $6/mo for small sites/apps/data projects. No lock in.

- morkalork 3y agoFor an early stage start-up I don't believe that matters. If you have success after the first couple of years, you have the luxury of time to decide what gets built to replace it. If you don't, well, at least you didn't waste time on code that wasn't the core of your business.

That being said, I’m not going to base my entire company’s infrastructure on a small vendor that may not be around or for that matter anything that Google says is the next big thing.
