I'm cash strapped so I would like to have something that lasted on free as long as possible. Which cloud provider free tier would you use, and why?
Is your decision affected by if it is a high volume c2b solution, a low volume b2b etc.?
How does data usage affect your decision?
And where it needs to be located
If I have AWS devs available, probably gonna use AWS
Likewise with GCP or Azure or DO or any of the other platforms out there
They are all (more-or-less) "valid" to use
If I have to learn a platform, I am probably going to pick one of the Big Three (if it is either location independent, or needs to be in the US)
If it needs to be domiciled in a particular coutnry/region, that will change my decision, too
Oh! And it also depends on what I were trying to build
"bootstrap a service" is close to the most open-ended topic you might pick ;)
right, but I figured the open-endedness and bootstrap a service implied pretty strongly -
needs to be implemented by me I have to learn a platform.
Since no location mentioned, location independent.
Or go with a provider aimed at individual developers and small-to-medium companies (like DO)
It really does not matter which one you pick ... other than realizing that whatever you build will need to be maintained by someone else when you get big enough to grow or sell :)
