The owner of Pinboard has a great story about this:

"I ended up buying a competitor. Why? Because his choice of tech stack + server footprint cost more than mine. The consequence of this was that even with each of us charging the same price. I was profitable and he was not.

Do not try to compete against Pinboard"
