Expenses like hosting, domain, databases, cloud storage, subscription plans, app licences, etc can add up quickly.
What are your recurring expenses as a developer (monthly/yearly)?

The worst expense is a project which you won't admit you'll never get back to but you're still paying that $50 a month for the collective expenses.
Excatly, I was gonna say 😀 You must think in long term in the very beginning when choosing the stack and weight all the ifs for the possible abandonment due to new projects with higher potential, etc 😉
All domains like
.fr.dev.app, maybe 30€ (35.20$) per year and one VPS for 10€ per month (11.70$).Thanks for the insight 👍 If not a secret, what VPS provider do you use?
This name is Sapinet (yes is a 'shortcut' link with my affiliate code 😂), pretty nice provider, I'm on since one year and more for run bots and websites.
4 domains, roughly $30/year.
10 servers, roughly $100/year.
Where can I get a server for 10$ a year :eek: ?
They are all small servers, mostly with 1GB RAM and only permit 25% CPU usage.
You can find them on talk.lowendspirit.com
Quite a lot of servers to keep an eye for 😉 Are they all for personal use/needs? 😉
I made my own distributed network to deliver push-up videos.

$0.
I use neocities for my non-business personal website. I don't have a business website — and the domain I want has a squatter on it. (Just checked, the squatter is gone! Expired August, 2021. Huzzah!)
My biggest recurring expense falls outside of the constraints of the question asked, which are technical books and a new computer every 2-3 years.
It's always great to invest in yourself, too 💯👍
Well, depends on the month 😅. Right now my cost is up because I'm hosting a valheim server.
I've got one domain which costs me about 10$ a year.
I have 4 servers costing me about 35$ a month (3 servers * 5$ + 1 server * 20$). I don't pay for additional services like databases since I don't need backups, etc for side projects. I've deployed my own Kubernetes cluster using k3s. I only use OSS variants of software I need such as grafana, postgres, and so on.
I also have on-demand VMs for my CI server which I had set up incorrectly a few months back. Ended up getting a 170$ bill.
Thanks for the share! 😉
Otherwise I leverage free tiers of services and my grad school email to get student access despite getting my degree years ago... I think getting a grad cert after the degree made my university never turn off considering me an active student
I'm debating moving the email off GSuite and onto Hey since I don't use the fancier bits of GDrive, but I'm still on the fence.
Thanks for the share! 🙏❤
Well put 👍Time is the most valuable resource we all have ✨😉
Food 🤔
Domains : maybe 12-15$ a year.
6$ a month for a linode VPS.
Google One is around 20$ a year.
Reskilling :- Udemy,humble bundle, ebooks, is around 200$-700$ a year.
Great to see you are investing in yourself, too 👍📚
It's either that or switch to management 😉..
None of these. I keep these expenses as low as possible to save money for all the coffee I consume.
Hahah, are you a Java dev? 🤣
Yes 😂
