Laravel Vapor Costs

Hey everyone, hope everything is ok!

I want to deploy the app I've created. And I have been looking around and vapor seems the right choice.

I really see the value that vapor offers. There is no problem paying the 39$. My only concern is the AWS costs.

I find so hard to understand their pricing tables. Because I don't want pay 30$ on the service X that I'm not using and will be paying because I have not disabled it.

If you are using vapor can you share your thoughts on this? Maybe share your website and Costs?

Thanks in advance!

@miguellima Depending on what services and scale your app needs, between $50 to a few thousand dollars a month. Ideally your app should scale revenue with increased usage and your costs should be a fraction of your revenue that will both grow together.

Also to keep costs low, consider adding protection from DDoS:

An un-checked DDoS attack on a serverless structure can cost a ton of money.

If you plan to use a scalable database, those can also cost a bit extra.
