Ask HN: AWS alternatives?
Our web project is currently running on a VPS of one of the leading service providers.
But the problem we're having is that our traffic is not constant, it might raise 4-8 times depending on the day, the time. Having a VPS that does not automatically or easily scale (as in, without restarting the VPS) is not good enough for us.
We are looking for services like AWS that do provide automatic scaling when needed (probably, when CPU/RAM reaches some value). Unfortunately, AWS is currently not an option since we can't really afford it and it might get us broke if it scales too much ;)
We're quite unexperienced and would like down-to-earth answers. If you do have your own projects and do not want to look like you're only promoting them, feel free to message us at hn at ampoll com.
