How do you feel about $0 vs $20 for e.g. a VPS that just sits idle? Is the complexity of AWS worth it for $20/mo?

- joshstrange 3y ago> Is the complexity of AWS worth it for $20/mo? For some of my projects it is, for others it wouldn't matter but I like keeping my AWS skills sharp since I use them professionally as well. There have been many times that I've had a solution at my fingertips for my job because I had previously played around with something on AWS for a personal project. I see it as a sort of "continuing education". I also just dislike managing servers, call me whatever you want for feeling that way but I'd rather spend my time writing code and not worrying as much about patching/upgrading my servers. I know there are downsides to using Lambda, I've hit almost all of them, but I still prefer it over managing a server.
