Summary

Early startups often face the challenge of technical debt due to quick, "right enough for now" solutions in their initial stages. As they grow and experience increased user demand, these decisions can become limiting factors. To avoid this, startups should consider adopting distributed architecture from the beginning or as soon as possible. Distributed systems are more complex initially but offer scalability benefits that can support growth. Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions can help manage this complexity while providing the advantages of distributed architecture.
