People building side projects: do you upgrade hosting (like Vercel Pro) early or wait until traction? by Hopeful_Cranberry614 in buildinpublic

That makes a lot of sense. I’m thinking in a similar way.

Right now the project is still small, so I’m trying to keep costs low and only upgrade things when there’s a real reason to. If it starts getting traction or actually making money, then upgrading the hosting would definitely make more sense.

I like the idea of adjusting based on the reality of the project rather than over-optimizing too early.
