Hey Daniel, Vercel/Railway for <10 devs ($20-100/mo, git push deploys). Scale→DO App Platform ($0.02/hr). AI: GCP cheap embeddings. AWS trap: Egress kills. Credits: $350k AWS/GCP startups. Bills: $4k/mo 1M users DO vs $12k AWS. Migrate: Terraform anytime.
Startup sweet spot: Render fullstack ($7 base→$150 scale), Fly.io geo edge cheap. Avoid lock-in: Doprax open source alt. AI: Replicate/Bedrock pay-per-use. True cost: Compute 60%, DB 25%. $50k ARR? DO + Vercel hybrid. Migrated 3x cheaper, zero downtime.
