I have highlighted tools and ways to run your startup for free. This is decent enough to handle about ~ 500K requests easily, but of course it's application dependent too. Please feel free to suggest any other awesome resources I might have missed. #startup
@discord Use discord for #communication, discord can be configured to work like slack. Best part, discord is completely free, while slack averagely charges $10/user/month.
