I find budgeting hard and I don't really stick to it. I follow Barefoot Investor (Scott Pape) which is more about setting aside $$ for each different purpose and then once a month, seeing how you are tracking and adjust as needed. Highly recommend the book! So simple and easy to follow without apps or spreadsheets.

What is your startup? Clusters are quite intensive and expensive unless you really need it for your application. We just use good old normal servers and that has worked fine as we are scaling. IMHO Kubernetes isn't worth the effort/cost for most things unless it is for online gaming or Google where there's lots traffic and users. So really think about if you _need_ it vs. just wanting to use it.

It's always way easier to buy someone else's servers. If you're looking to get something up quickly, Atlas is the way to go. In general, buy don't build unless you _have_ to.

Agree with Stripe! They list what each field means in API and all endpoints plus expected responses and example queries. Additionally their setup and dev kit docs are up to date with working examples in all of the common languages. We found it super quick to integrate with it. I think for docs, it's key to be both succinct but state every detail. I find it frustrating when docs are out of...

Very very nice. Maybe one day 🙏
