Tobias Schmidt @tpschmidt.com · May 30 Every month there's a viral post about ditching AWS for a $5 VPS. Our sites: 3.55M CloudFront requests. 3M Lambda invocations. Under $10/month on AWS. That viral HN post this week called AWS "a labyrinth designed to extract billing upgrades" The solution, as always: a $5 VPS with Go and SQLite.
