Need project hosting advice
I'm working on a startup project which is essentially just a SvelteKit web application with a public API. It uses Redis and PostgreSQL databases.
I have two primary hosting options:
My thought process is this:
Using Cloudflare's tools I'd pay significantly more, but it would be more reliable, (probably) faster, easier to scale, and be more secure.
Hosting on a VPS would be WAY cheaper, but scaling would be complicated, downtime would be a possibility, and I'd be responsible for managing and updating VPS tools.
I can afford to spend a couple days setting up a VPS, so set-up time isn't much of a concern. My main concerns are scalability, reliability and price.
My project will have no cap to user count, and since it has a free public API I expect a lot of incoming requests. I also expect a lot of database reads / writes.
All advice is appreciated, I'm just starting on this project so I can afford to switch stacks easily.
I have two primary hosting options:
- Host everything on a VPS manually
- Spread hosting out between tools like CF pages, CF workers, CF D1 storage, CF KV, and more.
