We want to make it really cheap for very small businesses to use us.
Random advice from the internet.
To me, that's a place where the business is over-engineered. "We want very small businesses to use us," is the right amount of engineering and "we want to make it cheap for us to run" is also sound engineering. A well engineered business has lots of customers who pay substantially more money for the products and services than it costs to provide them. Nothing else really matters. Even REST or Python.

Good luck.
