		andrewfromx on Aug 7, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: My frugal indie dev startup stack (2022) I love this list. One thing I'll add is I like to avoid using S3 or google's cloud storage AT ALL until I have > 30 GB. i.e. with google free tier of their compute engine you get a 30GB hard drive, 1GB ram, and two AMD EPYC 7B12 2250 MHz processors. So I make a fake bucket system using those free 30GB: https://github.com/andrewarrow/feedback/tree/main/filestorag... All the code I write is in bucket form, ready to flip a switch and use real buckets but 100% free up to that hard drive limit.

Have you ever considered Cloudflare R2? It's so much cheaper (no networking).

cheaper than zero???

Clearly, not, but doesn't require flipping the switch to save two bucks.
