A typical startup AWS architecture starts simple: an application deployed on ECS Fargate (containerized) or Elastic Beanstalk, an RDS PostgreSQL database, S3 for file storage, and CloudFront for CDN. As the startup scales, the architecture evolves: Lambda handles event-driven workloads, SQS manages async processing, ElastiCache adds Redis caching, and CloudWatch monitors performance. The key principle is using managed services wherever possible — let AWS handle database backups, scaling, and security patches so your small team can focus on the product. Estimated monthly cost: $50-$200 for early stage, $500-$2,000 for growth stage, scaling with revenue.
Yes. AWS is the most popular cloud for startups, offering credits through AWS Activate, a free tier, and pay-as-you-go pricing that scales with your business.
With free tier and credits, most startups pay $0-$200/month in the first year. Growth-stage startups typically pay $500-$5,000/month depending on traffic and data.
Vercel is better for Next.js frontend deployment (zero-config). AWS is better for custom backend infrastructure, databases, and services beyond web hosting. Many startups use both.
