By the way, sorry for sounding harsh. You've done a good job. For lowering the costs of running, there are tonnes of pretty cheap options out there. I personally quite enjoy running my C1 instance at Scaleway [1], I get dedicated hardware, 4 ARM cores, 2GB RAM, 50GB SSD (with the option of additional storage) and 200Mb/s external network. The benefit of the C1 solution is that I can have it screaming 24/7 (mine instance really is) and the price is fixed. If you buy yourself a Raspberry Pi, you can do testing at home and then deploy your solution to the cloud with relative confidence.
