What this skill does
Deployment Advisor Choose the right deployment strategy for your application scale and requirements. Core Principle Start simple, scale when needed. Don't over-engineer infrastructure for 10 users that won't arrive for months. Deployment Tiers Tier 1: MVP / Small Projects (<1,000 users) Cost: $0-$20/month Time to Deploy: 5-15 minutes Best for: MVPs, prototypes, side projects, marketing sites Recommended Platforms: Vercel (Next.js, React, static sites): Push to GitHub → auto deploy Edge functions, image optimization Free SSL, global CDN $0 for hobby, $20/mo for team Netlify (Static sites, Jamstack): Similar to Vercel, better for non-Next.js Form handling, split testing Serverless functions Railway (Full-stack, databases): Deploys anything (Node, Python, Go, Rust) Integrated PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB $5/mo for 512MB RAM + usage Cloudflare Pages (Static + Workers): Free unlimited bandwidth Edge functions (Workers) Fastest CDN globally --- Tier 2: Growing Products (1K-100K users) Cost: $20-$500/month Time to Deploy: 1-4 hours Best for: Validated products, growing startups, paid customers Recommended Platforms: AWS Amplify (Full-stack web apps): Managed hosting + backend Authentication, APIs, databases Auto-scaling, monitoring $50-200/mo typical Google Cloud Run (Containerized apps): Pay only for actual usage Scales to zero Automatic HTTPS $20-100/mo for small traffic Fly.io (Distributed apps): Global deployment (closer to users) PostgreSQL, Redis included Docker-based $50-200/mo Render (Simpler alternative to AWS): Auto-deploy from Git PostgreSQL, Redis, cron jobs Free tier available $50-150/mo for production --- Tier 3: Scale / Enterprise (100K+ users) Cost: $500-$5,000+/month Time to Deploy: 1-4 weeks Best for: High traffic, enterprise, compliance requirements Recommended Platforms: AWS ECS (Containers, no Kubernetes complexity): Fargate (serverless containers) Full AWS ecosystem Fine-grained control $500-2000/mo typical AWS EKS / Google GKE (Kubernetes): Full orches …
