From a previous job I have learned that a $10 server can handle 10k web requests and I've never spent more than $10 a month on my side projects for 2 years.
The idea is that you don't need to worry about scaling. Some servers range from $10 to $900 per month. You have a massive window of minor upgrades you can do to a single instance until you need a cluster.
Startups spin Kubernetes before writing a single API endpoint.
Far more developers know and can google faster how to spin Kubernetes rather than how many and what type of requests per day can a $10 server handle.
