How much are you paying after you've moved to Vapor?

Hey Everyone,

I'm trying to collect data on how much people are paying in cloud costs after moving to Vapor. Will use this data to help others who're considering moving to running serverless estimate the costs.

You can share screenshots of the AWS bill breakdown for the services used by Vapor, like:

  • Lambda
  • APIGateway
  • ALB
  • DynamoDB
  • S3
  • SQS
  • CloudFront

If you prefer not sharing in the forums, you can send to my email [email protected]. Appreciate all replies :)

Our cost brake down is the following:

Vapor: $39 Aurora Serverless: $55 NAT gateway: $30 Jumpbox: $8 S3 + Cloudfront: $10 API gateway: free tier Lambda: free tier

Note that this app is relatively small. Also note that we are using a serverless db. Though awesome for scalability, it’s a bit harder on the wallet.

We’re a business based in South Africa. AWS is launching a new region (Cape Town) in June. As soo as that is live (and Vapor supports it) we will move our production apps (~15 million requests / month) to Vapor.

Last month

  • Lambda -> 24.81$
  • API Gateway -> 16.28$
  • DynamoDB -> 2$
  • S3 -> 0.41$
  • SQS -> 0.28$
  • CloudFront -> 5.6$
  • Data Transfer -> 6.17$
  • NAT Gateways -> 81.81$
  • RDS -> 71.08$ + 11.76$

On this I have my production and dev environment.

If I check Vapor dashboard I have 7 507 544 HTTP requests, 44 067 CLI invocations and 65 019 queue invocations for my production environment.

I would like to see the cost difference between running Forge and Vapor themselves, as in is it more expensive to run Vapor, but with benefits of not having to manage infrastructure?

Not the actual numbers, but the ratio :)
