Though its pretty dependent on what worked for us at Stream, if you're in a different market other things will work. What are you building?

Put simply, it is for people who are intimidated by cooking their own meals, like me. It will provide a way to easily find and sort recipes based off nutrition requirements, price, and most importantly, difficulty. I'm thinking about implementing forums for the website so people can talk and share about cooking. That would be something cool to add when I already have the MVP. All of this to give me an excuse to learn about building with React and serverless. At first, because I wanted to hop on the bandwagon, but then I learned about what makes the tech special (also to not follow the bandwagon hype), and it seems like a lot of fun to play with!

I think Serverless, React + components like Algolia, Stream, Auth0 etc. is where the cloud hosting market is going long term. It's crazy how quickly you can build fully functional apps these days.

On the other hand getting a DO or Hetzner server is as cheap as its going to get :)
