I currently run a micro-saas product on a $4 a month namecheap server using the LAMP stack. It runs fast for all 34 companies, or 400+ employees, using it.

I've looked into moving it to Google cloud or AWS and it just seems daunting. Honestly, I use ftp, cpanel, and phpmyadmin.

Is there a way to get this product into the 'cloud' in case it grows, easily?

You'll never match the price, but if you use some small rds and ec2 instances you wont be paying much. Less if you use lambda and api gateway.

Moving lamp stacks is a piece of cake. If you don't want to do it you could find a freelancer pretty easily.

There's the slippery slope into vendor lock-in via combinatorial explosion of complexity

[nathants]

what op means is that for low traffic or no traffic services, lambda scales to zero where ec2 and rds do not.

scale to zero is very good when zero usage is regularly reached.

"Run your own container" offerings also scale to zero, all clouds have something to that effect and it doesn't require you to embedded your logic into their tar pit.
