Just Build the Product

It saddens me to see people growing a business and having to make tradeoffs due to hosting costs or trying to catch up with new tech.

My (opinionated) take on this if you are just starting a new business:

  0. Lay your foundation on something that is battle tested and well supported.
    
    Rent/buy a real computer (dedicated/root server), not cloud.
    Use software that is already included in major/stable GNU/Linux distributions.

  1. Build your stuff.
    Get used to writing things.
    Beware tech news.

What brings you a dedicated server that a VPS running Debian for example doesn't?

Better raw performance, low latency, etc
