Basically just an AWS instance.

Not sure how much data you’re pushing out, but look to connect with an AWS reseller. You can aggregate their usage and drop your fees from .09/gb to something like .05/gb. No cost or commitments to use a reseller (I use to be one before I was acquired)

If I go through a reseller as apposed to direct I can get a big discount?!? Looking into it. Yes, paying .09/Gb out

Yes - not just on data transfer. You will also get discounts on compute, support etc. if you need recommendations, I can send you ones that won’t fuck you over. (I was 1 of 40 premier AWS partners in the country so know most of them)

Also one more thing! If you’re building on AWS, be sure to apply for AWS usage credits! They give free money to cover your usage, especially to people just getting started on the platform.

AWS activate is one program and is super easy to apply.

Start by setting up cloudfront in front of it and setting cache headers so it works. That plus etags will help a lot

You will also want to set up a savings plan for the compute of the instance. I suggest a savings plan versus a reserved instance just because you will likely change the size and shape of that instant overtime, and the savings plan gives you more flexibility for almost as much savings.

One final comment about the compute. If you’re not already using arm instances, you should be there a significant discount for better performance per dollar.

A few people talking about using cloud front, researching, thank you.
