Ask HN: How do you manage your tech stack and infra?
Do you rely on platforms like Vercel or Firebase for speed and simplicity? Or do you have someone with DevOps experience who handles everything on AWS, GCP, or Azure?
Curious to hear how others are balancing ease of use vs. flexibility, especially in small teams or early-stage startups. We prefer terraform to manage everything on AWS, GCP and Azure.
It scales as we need to add another tech stacks. But we use another tools for some specific use cases since it’s easier to manage in each situation.
Front end app deployment: Netlify
Website and docs: Vercel
Serverless functions: serverless frameworks
Light-weight web server: cloudflare Thanks for the response!
Do you or someone on your team has devops knowledge? I guess so since Terraform requires some skills. Also, why do you use other services for those deployments (instead of using s3 + cloudfront for frontend, lambdas, etc)?
