Pretty much summarises my decision to use Linode, at a small company AWS presents a bigger monetary risk and drain on precious developer time and mental overhead than relatively small savings it might return at smaller scales...

I also actually like Linode as a company and enjoy using their services and management interface; Amazon is challenging to be positive about.

Also use Linode, they're great. Their docs are a treasure

Seems absolutely insane to use AWS for small personal/learning projects (unless the goal is to learn AWS for career purposes, I guess). It'd be like using Unreal Engine to make your 2d indie game

Always use the smallest and simplest solution that'll do the job. Simple solutions are not just as good for simple jobs...they're better

Except that would be free.
