+1 again. Followed simple setup at our startup. Worked for ~6 years. We've been growing and scaling the backend architecture as the user needs have grown. We're now at the blended #6. Very glad we waited to optimize until business needs declared certain choices to be imperative. Also makes budget for servers "just in time" optimized.
I had a startup experience experience rapid growth. Guess how long it took me to add capacity: minutes with zero outage. Basic redundancy is not some scary, impossible monster to implement. It is the standard.
