> Launching a side project on Heroku and AWS seems to cost a minimum of $69.00 per month. I disagree with your assessment of "minimum". the $7/mo is more than enough for starting out; enough to validate your idea and serve some customers. If you need more services, you can get a digital ocean box for $10, with less "seamless" scaling. or, move to heroku once you have validation.
