On: Self-Hosting Still Pays

I think we have wildly different expectations of the scale of "small startups".

If you can afford to full-time hire an entire hr team, an entire marketing team, an entire sales team and an entire engineering org, then you're able to pay an AWS bill.

Maybe not after paying that team.

Small startups have less than 2 million and usually a 16-24 cash or bust cycle. If they are hiring teams of people they are not a small startup.

If you are not bring in more cash than your aws bill that's a problem.
