Stop Using AWS.

From dev.to•May 03, 2025•3m read time

Building an MVP doesn't always require AWS's extensive cloud services. Many projects overengineer their infrastructure without focusing on user needs, leading to failure. Instead, solo developers or small teams can effectively use simple solutions like VPS and Docker Compose, avoiding unnecessary complexities. AWS can be useful for specific requirements like job hunting, compliance, or global scaling but isn't needed from the start. Starting small and scaling later is a more practical approach.
