If I get a three-year reserved instance of a t3.small, it works out to $6/month. A t3.micro works out to $3/mo. Storage and bandwidth, for my use-cases, amount to less than a dollar a month. Are there any other providers that compete on the low end like this? The common suggestions (DO, Linode, etc.) all cost at least twice as much. I buy the author's argument for "real" use-cases where you need one or more expensive servers. But I also see this argument made to people using AWS for personal use, and I've never understood it. Am I missing something? I don't need a massive server, I need something that can run code, and that's always on. AWS seems really cheap on the low end, and those machines are more than powerful enough to host your own email, files, projects, etc.
