Or a barebones box from Vultr or Linode then log errors out to stdout, slap an email address on the page and there's your logging and error system.

AWS is massively overcomplicated for an indie SaaS business, and it costs way, way too much.

You can have a box with plenty of room for $5 - $10 / month and it takes about 25 seconds to launch it.

I had 20k concurrent users with a $5 server and Cloudflare. Other people are using serverless solutions, which drive the price even lower.

The author stated as much: keep it simple and boring. He thought he was going boring for a SaaS, but he went way too exciting for what an indie SaaS needs.
