Scaling Your Startup with Cloud Infrastructure: A Complete Guide

Why Cloud Matters for Startups

In the modern tech landscape, cloud infrastructure isn't just an option—it's a necessity. For startups looking to scale quickly while managing costs, the cloud provides unparalleled flexibility.

Choosing the Right Cloud Provider

AWS (Amazon Web Services)

Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Microsoft Azure

Infrastructure as Code

Managing infrastructure manually doesn't scale. Use tools like Terraform or Pulumi to define your infrastructure as code.

# Terraform example
resource "aws_instance" "web" {
  ami           = "ami-0c55b159cbfafe1f0"
  instance_type = "t2.micro"

  tags = {
    Name = "WebServer"
  }
}
