You probably don't make 10k MMR on day one. If you make many small apps, it can make sense to learn how to run things lean to have 4x longer runway per app.

The runway is going to be your time and attention span, not $10/mo.

I don't know what you value your time or opportunity cost as... but the $10/mo doesn't need to save very many minutes of your time deferring dealing with a resource constraint or add too much reliability to pay off.

If resource limitations end up upsetting one end user, that costs more than $10.

  • This assumes you have to spend any time or attention worrying. 1GB is plenty of memory for backend type stuff.

    And most VPSs allow increasing memory with a click of a button and a reboot.
