What’s the stack?
Why is AWS expensive? What’s the most costly?
Why vercel? I’ve heard it gets costly at scale here on HN no other data points.
Does the charity have the ability to operate it? Budget? Skills? If not what the plan?
- babyent 1y agoVercel is honestly meant for enterprise. The free/cheap tier is a cool toy. Vercel replaces the need to build out an expensive dedicated UI deployment/tooling team (like when your org has like 50 product teams working on a large enterprise saas). Anyone else should just stick to vite react starter SPA and actually make money first. If they need SEO, they can use something simple too.
- quintes 1y agoYeah when ever you see enterprise pricing / call us you know you need some dollars
- Jean-Philipe 1y agoThe stack is nodejs and postgres - the most expensive part is the database actually. I could probably look into caching more of the expensive (mostly read-only) queries. I'm one of the two developers who will help out with development and devops. There's some budget for that. So we have the skills.
- quintes 1y agoDatabase on RDS? I guess caching queries could be useful. Aurora serverless? What’s the user base and load? All internal NGO or public? Public sector AWS peeps should maybe jump in and see if they can offer support have you checked with them?
