I see many early-stage non tech founders jumping straight to AWS or GCP.

Mostly because of “free credits.” Honestly, that’s a trap.

At that stage, you don’t have a scaling problem. You have a customer acquisition problem. A simple VPS is more than enough:

• It’s cheaper
• Easier to manage
• No unnecessary complexity

But cloud platforms make you think like you’re building for millions…when you don’t even have your first 100 users.

Focus on what actually matters: Get users. Validate your product. Generate revenue.

Scale only when there’s something worth scaling. Infrastructure doesn’t make your SaaS successful. Customers do.

What’s your take on this ?
