How is the infrastructure that you run this with? I would love some advice for future startups and side hobbies. What are your costs and plans to scale? I'm especially interested in the plans of new startups who might not go all out with hosting and servers due to budgeting and what not in the beginning.

Everything is run through 2 Digital Ocean droplets (one for the Next.js instance, and one for the Django REST server). I'm not a sysadmin by any means (I just followed a guide[1] online), but it seems to be working well enough.

All in (including the managed database) it's $65 / mo, which seems reasonable to me. (Could be even less, but I scaled up the droplets for this launch).
