If spinning up/down is fast+smooth (e.g., no reconfiguring stuff each time), you could drop that down to ~40h/week taking you to under $500/month. Still pricey, but combined with not having to pay the ~70% markup another commenter mentioned, it could be under $2,000/year.
- banana_giraffe 5y agoAdd on top of that, spinning down should be automatic. I've worked on bespoke platforms like this where it wasn't. Devs would often forget and/or be more willing to run long running tasks after work hours. The net result was pretty much having to assume an instance would be online 24x7 unless there were at least gentle pokes to disable instances.
