Planning on launching an app in around a month. Wanting to get familiar with a process that I have zero understanding of currently.

From what I’ve read, DO will provide a good solid mix of ease of use, scalability, and not being as expensive as AWS/Azure.

It’s a CRUD app that will include essentially no media. I would be very pleased if I ever reached 5k daily users.

I just wanted to make a thread for peace of mind before I jump into anything.

Thank you for any advice.

    Sometimes it’s better to pay somebody to solve a problem for you. It’s a bit expensive, but your main DB failing is way more expensive. Once you have 5k daily users, hopefully you will have some revenue to make you worry about other problems.

    In general, infra costs are the least of your concerns while growing revenue.
