Move everything to Hetzner (or the like) at double the capacity that AWS has on average and you still spend about 10% of what you spend on AWS. That is how stupid costly AWS is and 99% of people using AWS are wasting money like there is now tomorrow.

Problem is Hetzner has such stringent user verification its tough to get hosting on there. You don't even need to use Hetzner, I'm actually quite surprised they are spending 2k on DB. For the env isolation i understand they need ec2 but... it shouldn't cost anywhere that amount, for instance I have 3 million users on a $40/month digital ocean VPS with just Django + Postgres and I have far more reads and writes. for env isolation you could spin up a $5/month VPS and shut it down when idle

  Sure Hetzner ist just one example. Many provides sell at about 5 to 10% of AWS prices.

  Eh? It's not "tough" to get hosting there... It's super easy if you use legit details and live in a country they are allowed to do business with.
