@nawraskader: Most indie projects don’t need AWS complexity on day one. They need the right starter stack for the project they actually have. So I broke down the infra menu I’d use as a product engineer: Cloudflare Workers + D1 for tiny edge apps. VPS + Postgres when you want cheap power. Supabase + Vercel for fast indie SaaS. Vercel + Neon for serverless Postgres. Railway or Render when you just want to ship Docker/API apps. Firebase or Convex when realtime sync is the product. The point isn’t “which stack is best?” It’s: pick the stack that gets you to real users without overengineering too early. Save this before your next side project.
