You Don’t Need All That Complex/Expensive/Distracting Infrastructure

(* well you need some of it … but so much less than you think)
On Twitter Pieter Levels — multiple Product Hunt Maker of the Year winner, founder of a growing list of sites generating thousands a month in revenue and basically the god of the “Indie Maker” community — was asked what kind of infrastructure he used to host all of his wildly successful indie projects? But at indie maker, “Hey look at this cool thing I built … please, please someone look at it (and upvote it on Product Hunt too, thx)” scale — the scale of almost every single site on the net — that 0.1% is vanishingly insignificant. But there seems to be a pervasive sense that you can’t launch a product without a K8s cluster or two, load balanced across a couple of regions, oh and if you have to deploy anything manually how can you possibly expect to turn a profit?
