AWS provides a service for just about anything you would ever need as a developer. Some of the most popular services include EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, CloudFront, Glacier, VPC, Lightsail, Sagemaker, etc.
The full list of their products can be found here.
What services do you use and what are your monthly bill from them?

60 cents. Hosting static websites with cloudfonnt and s3. The work bill is confidential I think so not disclosing that here
Sure thing 👍 Thanks for sharing info about static sites 😉
I can just tell that the bill gets crazy if you build a private VPC and host some fargate app on it. ~100$ a month just for the VPC + needed endpoints alone
Yeah, hence the discussion 😉
You need a solid plan for the revenue, to cover that 😉
Around 80€ per month, using RDS, ecs fargate, ec2, code commit/build/deploy, load balancers, s3, route 53.
Curious which service of these makes the biggest chunk of the expenses? And have you looked for some alternatives for any of any mentioned service due to being so expensive (in your opinion)? 👀
I can tell you precisely, let me check... With September 70€ total, main fee went to:
It is always traffic that gives biggest fee in AWS in my experience of developing RESTful APIs (and you can actually slightly reduce it if you do not need scaling at development phase).
I am confident that using, for example, GCP would come cheaper in the beginning. But this project will have to be widely scaled after MVP phase and estimated costs for future "live" configuration are better in AWS.
Also, if you do IaaC (terraform in my case) - it is not THAT complicated to move around clouds.
Finally, from my experience, AWS (hence it is a market leader) has better documentation and better support - just because community is bigger.
So it is good choice for growing projects, imo.
Oh, one more point for AWS - I am evaluating possible use of DynamoDB (codeless API = API Gateway + DynamoDB) and have not found analogues so far (I know, vendor lock-in, but I hope other clouds to catch up with that approach).
If I'd be doing that one for myself, I'd do something very cheap and simple like Heroku or GCP Cloud Run. (Lambdas are not good here due to app long warm-up).
This is a helpful info, thanks a lot 🙏❤

EC2, RDS , ELB, Lambda, Route53, S3,SES, SNS, CloudFront
Thanks for sharing 😉
Is it for a company you work of for your personal projects/businesses? 👀
It’s really business project 😇😇😇
Best of luck with it 😉👍

Thanks for sharing! 😉👍
Are those for company you work, or for private projects/businesses? 👀
0.5$ per month :P
Curious to see for which service? S3? 👀

Oh it's Lambda, then 😄 Thanks for the insight 🙏❤
Zero.
I stay away from Amazon Web Services.
By not using AWS and only deploying on regular servers, this effectively avoids vendor lock in.
Thanks for the share! 🙏❤
My GCP bill is around 50 USD for 1 project assuming no users.
It uses a Compute Engine(VM), Cloud Run(Container Instances), Cloud Functions(Lambda), Cloud SQL(RDS), Task Scheduling(Job Queue)
Seems like a well thought out and effective setup 👍
