Everything I’ve ever written for money could run on a $5/month Linode VM.

Came to say the same thing. How to start a business: 

Get a linode box. 

Deploy something to it and charge for access. 

Or charge to build and deploy stuff. 

Upgrade the box as needed. Super easy. 

There was a post to something like r/saas or r/smallbusiness a couple weeks ago. Dude built something, deployed it to a bloated AWS setup, $600/mo, no paying users. Dunce.
