You Don’t Need All That Complex/Expensive/Distracting Infrastructure
Well, your users are gonna have a fun time when linode has to take down your single vpc for maintenance, or an AZ goes down (does linode even have AZs? There's some evidence that even GCP doesn't have truly redundant AZs, so I doubt Linode could.)Point being: its a balance. I tell any startup who will listen: App Engine or Heroku. That'll get you REALLY far and strike a good balance between autoscaling, simplicity, and redundancy.If you're still using a single server, you're doing something horribly wrong. This random guy's strategy isn't something to be proud of. He just doesn't know that there are better options out there. Simplicity isn't a VM you have to maintain, update, and secure. Its a fully managed PaaS.
