AWS. Elastic Beanstalk has pretty similar easy command line tools, and their free tier gives enough for one instance each of ec2, s3, rds and will mostly autoconfigure like heroku does.
- shostack 11y agoSince I'm not at all confident in my abilities to secure things properly yet, am I at any risk of racking up a massive bill from a hacked account if I go with the AWS free tier? Or is that simply not a possibility?
- toomuchtodo 11y agoEnable two factor auth on your AWS account. Chances of fraud quickly approach zero unless your AWS API creds are leaked. You should always be using an IAM account that has only the privileges your application requires.
- smt88 11y agoIt's possible. Security on AWS can certainly be tricky. It's safer to use ElasticBeanstalk if you don't feel confident in your security knowledge, since it manages keys and IAM roles for you.
- glogla 11y agoFree tier is only for 12 months, and then it gets very expensive - t2 micro instance is 10 USD a month, so that's 20 USD a month with one ec2 and one rds instance.
