I switched from GCP to AWS lightsail. If you're a startup you should too.

At first i was impressed with the google's 300$ dollar free credit so i thought of using it and then it was slightly lagging even though i have preferred like smaller VM instance as i was using only for testing purpose alone. Eventually when the three month period ended. They charged me like crazy and when i noticed and researched about this they said like it's about the bandwidth that we use and that's why it costed us more. So then i was exploring options so only I moved to AWS and then they are offering founder program so using that we get $1000 credit and additional $100 credit for new users actually. And they offer plenty of service like we are small and want a fixed cost we can opt for light sail and also if we want to expand we can opt for EC2 Instance which is used when scaling. Right now i'm paying very less compared to the GCP all thanks to AWS lightsail. if anyone is opting to build you side project or start up start with AWS light sail..
