In the same boat as you it seems - side projects to see how far they can go.
I guess the short answer is "free tier". I'm using some combination of the following, all free.
AWS, Azure for hosting, Lambdas/Function Apps (not free, but really low pay-as-you-use)
Firebase for data persistence
CircleCI for builds
GitHub (now free private repos)
TravisCI for open source, if that's your thing.
I guess it depends on how heavy your initial baseline compute requirements are ... you can start on Free tier stuff and then scale up to paid once you get customers?
