    Cheap or scalable infrastructure?

    Every time I start a project I need to choose between something cheap like simple VPS with LAMP or something scalable and more expensive in the cloud with balancing and CDN. The problem is you could lack traffic for a long period of time. And don't have any funding, so all infrastructure payments are on you. What do you choose? And why?

    Scalable infrastructure is the way to go! It's like having an elastic IT system that can adapt to your changing needs without breaking the bank. No more overprovisioning and wasting resources, and no more worrying about downtime when your workload spikes. Scalable infrastructure is the key to agility, efficiency, and cost savings

    I would say it depends on the size of the project. If it is a simple monolithic service, VPS with Docker is more than enough. At least for my project, it works better than Heroku and DigitalOcean and was much simpler to setup.
