Focusing on customers and MVPs over complex architecture makes sense, but whether you have 10 or 1 million users, for any real business, you need to be ready to recover from outages.

Building for resilience early sets the foundation for scaling later. That’s why I’m not a fan of relying on "one big server." No matter how powerful, it can still fail.

By focusing on resilience, you're naturally one step closer to scaling across multiple servers. Sure, it’s easy to overcomplicate things, but investing in scalable infrastructure from the start has benefits, even with low traffic—it's all about finding the right balance.
