The thing that pisses me off about HIPAA and startups is the cost of being HIPAA compliant! You must run on dedicated instances. So your AWS bill is minimal thousands of dollars and that's just the start!

Sure there are starts doing HIPAA compliant IaaS but Paying $99 for 1 GB container is still pricey.

Pull on your big kid pants and maybe admin your own servers?

So much this

Get the actual machine and plug it. It will be much cheaper than AWS

And no you don't need 5 machines to run hundreds of "microservices" on a handful of VMs
