Vapor - Example AWS costs

Hi All

I'm really keen on Laravel Vapor. Whilst I have used S3 on AWS I have no experience of Lambda. I was wondering if anyone has some high level numbers around typical monthly costs they're seeing for their sites which are deployed via Vapor? Ball park monthly requests and visitors as well as general size of the site would be really appreciated.

Not the answer but also check in and out of region request.

AWS has frequently asked questions.

You can calculate this easily with AWS calculators for your specific projects and loads - but mine typically come to a few dollars. Note that the free tier is usually spent on cron jobs and queue management.

I found this great reply on Vapor vs Forge topic: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/vapor/vapor-vs-forge?reply=609153

Basically, the author says:

Starting costs, all things considered, with Vapor are around $50pm, BUT that reduces per-project the more projects you host on Vapor. So if you have any significant deployments, or value the scalability/featureset, then you're likely to quickly see returns here.
