It's not so easy building a SaaS business. It was barely true 10yrs ago.
What is your tool about? What problem does it solve? What is the ideal person that would like (love) to use it?
> Do you have any recommendations on how to maintain, scale and market a service like this?
If it's a simple API w/ or without a DB, use Amazon Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, or Firebase.
Amazon/Google will do the Ops work for you and you won't have any fixed infrastructure cost.
PS: The hard work is not scaling/maintaining the service, but acquiring customers ;)
