Yeah, a few ways! Accounts and donations mostly.
AWS gave me $1000 grant a few months ago, but only ~$300 left, this month is ~$600, received $150 in Zaps, sold $100 of accounts, I may pay $50-$200 a month depending. I don’t care paying a few $100 out of pocket, I just can’t wake up with $1000 monthly bill 😂
** we are working on a whole new architecture backend which will be much more cost effective and plan to deploy next weekend. It will fix a lot of things and will absolutely bring prices down.
