I agree the load will fluctuate - but will mostly follow predictable patterns daily and weekly. However, that's what the cloud's elasticity is for - and AWS makes it easy (and inexpensive) to expand and contract when implemented correctly. Man, I would love an opportunity to optimize something like that!

Right?! The cost is way too high for their use case, even considering a large padding to OPs quick maths. Part of my team one month stopped all development and solely focused on reducing AWS costs and we cut our monthly bill by 50% (probably around 4 dev's yearly salary) It's not easy, but optimizing AWS resources is an absolute must.
