AWS S3 was the perfect solution for hosting GTA Radio's audio files. With 17 radio stations streaming continuously, I needed reliable, scalable storage that could handle traffic spikes on launch day. S3's CDN integration, pay-as-you-go pricing, and 99.99% uptime SLA give me confidence that users will always have access to the radio streams. The cost-effectiveness for media storage is unmatched - I can serve hours of audio content for pennies. Plus, the global edge locations ensure low latency streaming for users worldwide.

Render made deploying GTA Radio incredibly simple. With just a render.yaml file, I had automatic deployments from GitHub, zero-downtime updates, and a free tier perfect for launching a side project. Unlike other platforms, Render's Python environment detection worked flawlessly with Flask, and the built-in SSL certificates meant I didn't have to configure anything extra. The deployment process is so smooth that I can push code and have it live in minutes. For a solo developer launching a product, this simplicity is invaluable.

Cursor's AI-powered code completion and chat features were game-changers for building GTA Radio. The ability to quickly iterate on the radio wheel interface, debug PWA functionality, and implement media session controls would have taken much longer with a traditional editor. The AI assistant helped me navigate Flask routing, JavaScript audio APIs, and PWA manifest configurations seamlessly. It's like having a pair programming partner that never gets tired and knows the entire web development ecosystem.
