The way I've always prepared for that was to run things on fixed-cost hosting and if it crashes, it crashes.
The way I've always prepared for that was to run things on fixed-cost hosting and if it crashes, it crashes. No way I could get a 10k€ AWS bill overnight if my project blew up on HN because they all run on one dedicated machine that costs me almost exactly 1 espresso per day. If people end up liking something enough to need more capacity, I can scale the server manually to however much I'm willing to spend and immediately set up Patreon/Kofi/whatever. If people contribute enough to pay for a bigger server, I do that. If they don't, it's their problem that it's slow or keeps crashing. My IPs are always prioritised by the load balancer, so it makes little difference to me.

> too expensive for our internal server needs; not the right fit for our datacenter partners/customers You and me both.
