Someone else mentioned it already in these comments, but I'll mention again to make sure it's not missed. If you're a startup using AWS, apply for the AWS Activate program. All you need to do is apply, and they'll give you up to $100k AWS credits, which will last for up to 2 years and automatically be applied to your bill until they're used up. https://aws.amazon.com/activate/ https://aws.amazon.com/activate/ It's not a solution to the larger problem of business model and percentage of revenue going toward compute costs to provide your service, but there are a lot of other great recommendations and suggestions here for that. This could provide you some time to actually implement the other recommendations.
