Muddy Waters @muddywatersre disclosure on their short report


Breakdown of my January AWS bill to run my side projects: RDS (reserved Aurora MySQL): $46.02 EC2: $42.68 Data Transfer: $21.43 ELB: $19.21 VPC: $13.67 CodeBuild: $1.44 S3: $1.01 ECS: $0.89 ECR: $0.29 Cost Explorer: $0.01 (lol what, I didn't realize they even charged for this) ------------ Total: $146.65 For completeness, here's August to January- August: $203.95 September: $210.77 October: $245.98 November: $261.70 December: $221.30 January: $146.65 In November, I moved all my instances from Fargate to EC2. <--- cheaper and much more performant. In December, I fixed the binpack strategy for one of my projects so I didn't pointlessly run an extra EC2 instance. I also moved my RDS to a reserved instance. In January, I moved the most resource intensive scheduled jobs to Fargate and I was able to drop the base container size, which dropped the EC2 instance sizes.
