Check out fly.io [0] which is likely the "smallest possible cost" you'd incur that otherwise may bloat up due to (drawing parallels to HashiCorp products) packaging and deploying with Waypoint, orchestrating with Nomad, and setting up networking with Consul. Dapr, if I understood it correctly, replaces only Waypoint and Consul, you're still left to deal with orchestration.
