If you were going to bootstrap a service which cloud would you use?


And why, of course.

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?

It would entirely depend on who I have to implement it

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 ;)
