You should really just foot the bill for AWS. This is going to be technical debt for you later on that will need to be paid. As a software/systems engineer I'll walk away from anywhere doing stuff like this to save a few dollars.

If you want to scale you share the apps and databases. Nothing worse than having to spin up more and more instances and manage more and more hardware/virtual hardware/services as your customer base grows.
