Ultra-Budget AWS: Running Scalable Apps for Pennies
summary
Concrete cost claim: a production‑ready MVP runs for $3 per month. Implementation uses GitHub Actions + CDK for CI/CD and infra as code, static frontend on S3 + CloudFront, Cognito for auth, API Gateway as a proxy to Lambda + AWS Lambda Powertools, and a choice of DynamoDB or a self‑hosted Postgres on EC2 to cut RDS bills. The demo includes a real cost breakdown and notes tradeoffs: cold starts, stateless functions, and maintenance burden when self‑hosting.
