Prototype (MVP)Test the niche cheaplyA working version of the main scenario: users go through the whole path, you get the first leads and learn whether demand exists. Fast on purpose — we deliberately skip what only matters at scale.Not included: heavy load, complex roles, deep analytics, round-the-clock on-call.Production versionThe one you live with for yearsA complete product: admin panel, roles and permissions, payments, analytics, backups, monitoring, documentation. Handles thousands of users. This is the level most businesses actually need.Not included: microservices and geo-distribution — they only start paying off at a different volume.Glovo / Yandex-class platformMore expensive, slower, and costlier to runThis is not "a website but pricier". It is service decomposition, queues, caching, failover, anti-fraud, load testing, on-call rotation and a dedicated maintenance team. It is measured in months, costs as much as a department — and running it is hundreds of dollars a month, not tens.Realistically: systems like this are not shipped "turnkey in a month" — they roll out release by release.
