so I have an HTTP endpoint which gets maybe 10 hits per day, and does some lightweight computations and records small amount of data.
Right now, this is done on AWS, with lambda + S3, and costs under $0.02/month.
Can you point me to something more cost effective that that? Don't forget I also need backup for data, automatic failover in case of machine failure or crash, amd no maintenance (like OS upgrades) for 5+ years.

- bx376 3y agoStateless applications are far cheaper than stateful applications to host on AWS. Computing is cheap, object storage is where AWS make unreasonable profit and lock you in their platform.

- theamk 3y agoThat does not answer my question though... I am not spending $600,000 on hardware! I have no doubt that there are plenty of cases when local hardware is cheaper, but gp said "There is no possible use case in no possible universe where AWS is cost effective."... and I claim there are many use cases where AWS is cheaper.
