I'm a bit skeptical about the 'no expensive APIs' claim when you talk about GPU allocation. Cloud GPUs can get pricey fast, even for fine-tuning. Did you compare costs carefully?

For async specifically, we implemented a 'Decision Log' in Confluence. Anytime a significant decision is made (even in a call), it's summarized there with context, alternatives considered, and rationale. This way, anyone can catch up without digging through Slack threads, and new hires get a clear history. It's been a game-changer for reducing misunderstandings on our dev team.

Honestly, for a small team and rapid scaling, focus on managed services. The less infrastructure you have to touch, the faster you can iterate on your product.
