Too Long; Didn't Read
The <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/architecture" target="_blank">architecture</a> of my Amazon Web Services application was supposed to be <a href="https://github.com/antsankov/MrRoadboto" target="_blank"><em>simple</em></a><em>. </em>It’s two independent Lambda functions with a Redis cache between them for persistence. By purchasing Lambda compute power by the millisecond, I thought my app would be stupid cheap, possibly even free! I hadn’t even launched into production when I got my first bill for my partial month of development: $26.97 and if that wasn’t bad enough, my forecast for the following month was supposed to be $40.78 and nobody had even used my app!
