Def not true with AWS, unless you reach a particular scale. Not for product market fit. My technology choices would be fully managed services so I could focus on my actual business.
Read the "Well Architected" paper. Go multi-region.
Unless eCF has made some major advancements in the last couple years, Amazon’s own retail business isn’t multi-region. So it’d be like the cobbler saying “Buy my shoes!” while wearing none, if AWS were to push everyone hard to have a multi-region strategy.
At least on AWS you typically can find capacity (outside of accelerators) by being flexible on instance types (C, M, R), instance sizes, and availability zones. Sounds like this region OP is in for Azure is constrained such that even this advice doesn’t work.
Can you link me to the well architected paper that talks about going multi-region for an early stage startup?

I just watched the second video on the page, and it does discuss multi-region a bit.
def true with everything. what a ridiculous statement.
