Hi fellow Indie Hackers and Bootstrappers. I've been wondering how a solo developer who is trying build a product to quit his day job manages all the infra costs during the initial days of their product?

I want to build a SaaS product. But, at this point I'm not even sure if this is going to take off and I don't want to end up loosing a lot of money for infra. Looking at AWS costs makes me nauseated. Is there any other platform which gives free services for some period of time? How did you guys manage during your initial days?

Any inputs are really appreciated!
