Profile

I've been hosting my side project on AWS. I was paying an okay price for not managing infrastructure at all. I moved everything to AWS Ligthsail after my startup credits run out. The project was initially a success and made several thousand euros per month in revenue. Then came covid with new regulations, and suddenly my customers were non existent (the problem it solved was no longer there). After that it was not making me money, I was paying it from my own pocket to maintain it, thinking maybe it will come back. Then one day, after some ignored spam AWS emails, I got a huge charge on my card, along with a bill from AWS. The charge was orders of magnitude higher than the previous charges."W
