As your startup grows, so do your infrastructure needs. Here's how to scale effectively without overcomplicating things.

Start Simple

Don't over-engineer from day one. Start with managed services that let you focus on building your product.

Choose the Right Cloud Provider

AWS, GCP, and Azure all have their strengths. Choose based on your specific needs and team expertise.

Implement Monitoring Early

Set up monitoring and alerting from the beginning. It's much harder to retrofit observability later.

Plan for Traffic Spikes

Use auto-scaling to handle unexpected traffic. Design your architecture to be elastic.
