1. Scaling is a good problem to have. It usually involves throwing out all or a large part of the system that worked at a smaller scale.

2. Most businesses don't have scaling problems. They have not scaling problems.

3. Don't let a problem that you don't have delay shipping. If there's a host that you know, try that first before re-architecting the system for an unfamiliar platform.

4. Launch for a small group of potential customers first to stress test the app and to gain feedback. This will also avoid lauching as a press release because nobody pays attention to press releases.

5. Talking to potential customers (i.e. doing sales) is harder for many people than re-architecting a system. However, starting to talk to potential customers is what 'launching' really is. It's not Product Hunt or Show HN or SEO or any other automated process.

Good luck.
