Q1: Why is infrastructure speed more important than scalability early on?
A: Because startups need to learn quickly, iterate fast, and reduce burn. Speed unlocks that; scale can wait.
Q2: What cloud setup is best for startup speed?
A: Terraform + CI/CD + serverless or ECS/Fargate + observability built-in. Lean and proven.
Q3: Should early startups use Kubernetes?
A: Only if absolutely necessary. It adds complexity and slows down small teams.
Q4: What are signs of infra going too slow?
A: Long deploys, blocked merges, unclear environments, repeated setup questions.
Q5: How do I improve infra speed on AWS?
A: Use services like Fargate, CDK, Amplify, CloudWatch, and Terraform. Automate and standardize.
