No self-host solo/small team use Railway/DigitalOcean K8s ($20/mo).
Learning: Kind cluster local dev.
Essentials: Deployments/Services/Ingress.
Storage: Longhorn CSI.
Monitoring: Prometheus stack.
Migrate: ArgoCD gitops.
Saved client $12k/yr vs AWS raw.
Path: Local→Managed→Multi-cluster.
Hey James, Beginners: Managed EKS/GKE—$70/mo cluster + savings plans. Skip self-host <10 devs (ops hell). Local: Minikube + Skaffold. Prod: Helm Django/Node charts. Scale: HPA autoscaling. Cost: 60% less than EC2 fleet. 100 servers? Namespace isolation + Istio later.
